We went on a Shearwater guided tour. Excellent service received throughout our three day stay in Victoria falls from Shearwater Tours. The view of the falls on this tour is amazing, the guide was extremely knowledgeable, walked at a pace suitable to all members of the group. Easy walk, suitable for all ages, good level path, remember to take a raincoat during the rainy season. One of our most memorable trips

Before flying back to Malawi I spent 2,5 hours in Shona Sculpture Gallery / Garden. I am impressed to learn about the creativity of Zimbabwiens of several generations! It is lovely presented with a lot of information. We had a very nice conversation and I appreciate the approach of the gallery, especially to support young artists in a close personal relationship.

Had an absolutely amazing time at the Snake Park today and I can thouroughly recommend having a tour from Divine, one the the experts who is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the snakes they house at the park. We had the chance to hold some non venomous docile snakes and also two adorable chameleons (one being called Dr. Dre). It is suitable for all ages and learning about the snakes and common misconceptions was eye opening! A must see on a visit to Victoria Falls!

This is a wonderful museum! It has taxidermy examples of the local wildlife, from large to small, mammals, reptiles, & birds! In the central courtyard are housed live snakes, and there are excellent exhibits about the local culture and industries upstairs.

The Lodge is in the park and a short drive from Cecil Rhodes grave. The staff were young, energetic, welcoming and complied with covid requirements discreetly and carefully. Decor is simple, tasteful and extremely clean. The food was outstandingly delicious (well done to the chef and his assistant). Wifi is limited to communal areas and lodges 1 and 2, however as we were on holiday it was not missed! all in all a very enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back!
7. Great Zimbabwe National Monument

4.5 based on 327 reviews
This is now the great capital of great significance ancient monument south of the Sahara; in Africa it is second in size and importance to the Egyptian Pyramids. The towering stone houses Dzimba Dzamabwe were home of 2000 Shona speaking people that prospered between 12th and 15th centuries and it's 270 hectares in size. That's where the beautiful stylish fish eagle was found i.e, the Zimbabwe bird on the national flag. The country was later on named Zimbabwe derived from the ruins. Every structure was built using a dry stone technique- entirely without mortar-involving millions of stones, each one supporting another.

This is one of the most magnificent stone work l have seen in Zimbabwe. Yes the hill climb is exhausting but at the end of the day it is worth is because you get to see the wonderful stone structure and you get to hear the history of the stone structures being explained

Entrance to the park very steep.We still remember driving through the park on a very hot day. Saw some game-no rhino.though. Entrance fee to climb the kopje to Rhode ‘s grave rather steep. Ah, well , World’s View worth it. It’s a magical place up there. Ignore the monuments, lie on your back, gaze at the cloudless cobalt sky and listen to the song of the wind as it caresses the balancing rocks. Very peaceful. Watch the sun go down .

Raintree is a true paradise hidden away in the Umwinsidale Valley. The property has been developed into a unique up market venue providing an ideal setting for any event, from weddings to corporate and private functions. This breathtaking venue maximizes on the best that any venue has to offer with pine forests, landscaped gardens and sweeping lawns that roll down to meet the Umwinsi River which is a clear water stream that cascades over a granite rock waterfall to settle in an idyllic pool below.

Amazingly well maintained despite scarce resources. Really interesting history of the railways in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe including Cecil Rhodes personal carriage. Kids would love this place as you get to climb onto the trains (@ your own risk).
