The Zambezi River's most famous tourism attraction and a World Heritage Site. Famous for adrenalin activities, but there are also wonderful wild experiences to be enjoyed.

Mana Pools
World Heritage Site, Core Area of the Middle-Zambezi Biosphere Reserve, Important Bird Area, and one of the wildest of Zimbabwe's National Parks, situated in the extreme north of the country.

LOCATION
Hwange National Park
Hwange National Park's proximity to the Victoria Falls makes it a natural draw for wildlife tourism, and a great stopover for those visitors traversing the Zambezi Valley and its environs.

Lake Kariba
Zimbabwe's vast fresh-water inland sea - 280 kms long and 40 kms at its widest - formed when the Zambezi River was dammed at Kariba Gorge in the 1950s. A wildlife and water wilderness paradise!
