Zimbabwe - Useful information for your trip
Zimbabwe is a country in Africa, with Harare as a capital city. Its main attractions are Victoria Falls and its many national parks.
Come with us and discover the wonders of Zimbabwe! This landlocked country in Eastern Africa, between Zambezi and Limpopo rivers, has Harare as its capital city and its official language is English. If you are planning an adventure trip in this land where nature surpasses itself (just think of the majestic Victoria Falls), it may be useful for you to know that rainfalls in this area are generally quite frequent and, thanks to the great availability of water, this area is more hospitable than the nearby countries.
Certainly your holiday will include Victoria Falls, a Unesco Heritage Site marking the border with Zambia, the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, a masterpiece of mighty Zambezi River. But do not just stop at the waterfalls, even though they are magnificent: this country has many treasures in store. Its territory is divided into different areas depending on altitude: low Veld, medium Veld and high Veld. The intense volcanic activity has also caused the formation of diamond veins all across the country.
Around 14% of the territory of Zimbabwe is protected. Vegetation is primarily made up of the so-called "tree Veld", thin forests or savannahs where acacias and baobabs grow, while gallery forests develop along Zambezi river. Wildlife includes lions, hippos, elephants and antelopes. Let yourself be charmed by the wild arid nature of the savannah, set off on a safari or game drive in search of the Big 5 at Hwange National Park, famous for its bizarre rock formations. Time permitting, stop to visit the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, an important archaeological site probably dating back to 1200 BC, evidence of the early forms of civilization in this area. Finally, you'll get to Lake Kariba which will raise unique emotions with its fiery sunsets and the opportunity to spot wildlife on its shores.
The climate in Zimbabwe is tropical with two seasons, a dry one from April to October and a rainy one from November to March, when it is not recommended to travel.
