ZIMBABWE
THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS
Zimbabwe is a country that offers many touching experiences, but among all, it is well known for its amazing Victoria Falls. You would normally combine a trip to Namibia, South Africa or Mozambique with an extension to Victoria Falls to view this spectacular natural phenomenon.

VICTORIA FALLS, THE WORLDS LARGEST SHEET OF FALLING WATER
Though the falls are not the only highlight of the country, the fauna is also a fantastic attraction with its beautiful national parks such as Hwange, Gonarezhou, Mana Pools and Matobo. For those interested in archaeology or history, the ruins of the great Zimbabwe, discovered in 1868 are a fantastic testimony of the powerful ancient civilisation, at the beginning of the 2nd millennium. Today, it is considered as the biggest archaeological site of Southern Africa. Zimbabwe, which was one of the most prosperous of the region, is now facing strong economic difficulties since the ascension of Robert Mugabe.
Consequently, we will mainly focus on travel around the area of Victoria Falls which is almost a country in a country, safe, stable and very popular. The Falls, discovered in 1860 by David Livingstone, are the largest on earth.
They spread over more than 1700 meters in width and fall over a height of 108 meters. At the beginning of June, the flow of the falls is at its maximum. It is a magical show. You may discover them from the sky by helicopter or micro light or from the river by means of a thrilling jet boat adventure. The Victoria Falls National Park itself offers various splendid foot paths and viewing points among the lush green vegetation. Furthermore, you will be able to experience Elephant back safaris, rafting, canoeing, sunset cruises and plenty more in this region. Take the time to discover the small town of Victoria Falls where you still regularly cross elephants on the road or the nearby villages.
