Zimbabwe Safari Tours and Vacation Packages

Q: What are the best safari destinations in Zimbabwe?

Zimbabwe boasts several top-tier locations, including Hwange National Park, known for its vast elephant population and predator sightings; Mana Pools National Park, famous for its walking and canoe safaris; Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World; and Lake Kariba & Matusadona National Park, ideal for houseboat safaris and remote wildlife encounters.

Q: How can my safari trip contribute to conservation efforts in Zimbabwe?

By choosing eco-friendly lodges and responsible tour operators, your trip directly supports conservation. Many lodges reinvest in anti-poaching units, community education, and wildlife research. Opting for a low-impact experience, such as walking safaris or visiting private conservancies, further helps preserve Zimbabwe’s natural beauty.

Q: How much does a Zimbabwe safari vacation package cost?

Zimbabwe safari packages start at $10,200 for a 12-day itinerary, but prices can vary depending on the destinations, level of accommodation, and included activities. At Zicasso, we offer custom tour planning where our experts help design your dream vacation at no added cost, ensuring a personalized experience that fits your budget and travel preferences.

Q: What makes walking and canoe safaris unique compared to traditional game drives?

Walking safaris in places like Mana Pools allow you to experience the bush up close, tracking wildlife on foot with expert guides. Canoe safaris on the Zambezi River offer a thrilling water-based adventure, letting you observe elephants, hippos, and crocodiles from a unique perspective. These options provide a deeper connection to nature compared to traditional vehicle-based game drives.

The ruined city of Great Zimbabwe exudes an ancient magnificence, having once served as the royal palace. The roaring waters of Victoria Falls inspire those who venture to them, often described as one of the greatest natural spectacles to behold. For an unforgettable adventure, explore exclusive safari tours and packages at Hwange National Park, renowned for its high levels of privacy, exceptional game drive experiences, and a thriving elephant population.

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana Trip Review: Safari, 20 Nights

We had a fantastic and amazing time! It was more than we expected! Zicasso's travel designer communicated with us throughout our planning and after! Everything was well planned and organized! The staff and places she booked for us were phenomenal!

South Africa, Zimbabwe Travel Review: Cape Town, Winelands, Safari Lodge, Victoria Falls, Boulders Beach, Big Five, Penguins, 12 Nights

Cape Town was lovely. Our tour guide was great. He knew his history about Cape Town. He answered every question we asked. Our guide had a great rapport with my daughter. He was very trusting.

Our tour of the Cape Winelands was great! Our guide knew a lot about wine. Our stay at the guesthouse was lovely. We were very comfortable with the staff.

Our stay at the safari lodge was very special. We were treated like royalty. Our safari guide was the best. He knew about every animal we encountered. He took us on safari twice a day, morning and late afternoon. We saw the Big Five—elephants, Cape buffalo, rhino, leopard, and lions.

Our last tour was of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew where the best places were to get the best view of the falls.

Our first trip to Africa was beyond our expectations.

South Africa Vacation Review: Johannesburg, Soweto, Safari, Traditional Meal, 6-Night Trip

The itinerary was amazing. I had no real idea what a safari would look like. Zicasso's travel designer talked to me about what our ideal travel experience would be for this trip. We got a mixture of locations. We were able to see the Big Five and other animals, exceeding our expectations. We had wonderful food and people at each location.

United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Zimbabwe Vacation Review: Franschhoek, Safari Lodge, Game Drives, 13 Nights

I worked with Zicasso's travel designer for about one month planning our trip. She was very informative and patient. She came up with an excellent itinerary, hotels, and tours. We had a couple of Zoom calls to review the details. It was an excellent experience overall.

South Africa, Zimbabwe Travel Review: Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Sabi Sands, Cape Peninsula, Franschhoek, Winelands, Game Drives, Wine Tasting, Scenery, 11 Nights

Zicasso's travel designer was extremely helpful in our trip planning process, giving us multiple suggestions for itineraries and price ranges. He listened to our ideas and shared his experiences to aid us in our final decisions. Communication during the preparation for our trip was amazing. We were very pleased with the five-star accommodations he recommended, the pace of the activities included, and the order of the destinations we visited.

We spent three days in Stellenbosch, three days in Cape Town, three days in Victoria Falls, and three days at the private game reserve in Sabi Sands. The accommodations, service, and scenery started out top-notch and seemed to get better as we went along.

Once again, Zicasso came through when we booked with a tour operator. Our agent was outstanding in suggesting our itinerary and her attention to detail was impeccable. Every part of our trip was excellent and I especially loved the app that had our itinerary available offline.
