Zimbabwe and read about the guest facilities, activities, and unique experiences on offer by each of the hosts Unique Tours & Safaris recommend  - select a region to see details:

Zimbabwe has got a great number of interesting places to visit across all its regions but the country's internal economic situation still needs time to recover from political instabilities during 2007-2009.
We therefore currently support accommodation providers in the Victoria Falls area only where it is safe for tourists to travel and where tourist facilities are not only fully operational but in very good shape.

And, of course, the Victoria Falls as well as the various experiences, excursions and activities to be enjoyed in their surroundings are as magnificent as ever.

So please do not hesitate to make a visit to Victoria Falls the grand opening or finale of any safari through Southern Africa!
Vehicle rentals for self-drive safaris including Victoria Falls will however have to commence or terminate in either Katima Mulilo, Namibia, or Kasane, Botswana, as hired vehicles may not be taken into Zimbabwe.

Victoria Falls - enjoy one of the '7 wonders of the world' from either Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe or Livingstone, Zambia
