Golf

Golf enthusiasts can tee-off at The Victoria Falls' sister hotel, Elephant Hills Inter-Continental, at its eighteen-hole Championship golf course. Designed by Gary Player and striking in every way, it is unlikely he designed the course with animal encounters in mind; animals do, however, occasionally meander across the course - everything from antelope to warthogs and elephants - make for an interesting, if not slightly unusual, golfing obstacle.

Spa Breaks

The spa offers massages and there is also a hairdresser available.

In Addition

The private footpath to Victoria Falls only takes ten minutes and is accessible directly from the hotel. The falls, which border both Zimbabwe and Zambia, are a compelling reminder of nature's overwhelming beauty and power. Billows of vaporised smoke travel upwards, caused by the sheer ferocity of the plummeting water. With 550,000 cubic metres spilling over the edge every minute, the spray reaches heights of four-hundred metres, meaning waterproofs and sensible shoes are highly advised. Between November and March you are likely to find higher volumes of water and dramatic scenery, albeit much of it obscured by spray. During the dry season (April to October), the falls are a little less overwhelming and not so much a deluge, but rather a light flow of water. However, expect clearer views and good rainbows.

Climate

Zimbabwe enjoys a moderate year-round climate. During winter (May to October) days are sunny with cool nights and temperatures can drop as low as 0°. This is the best time for game-viewing as the bush is thinner and the animals tend to congregate near the water holes. Summers (November to April) are hot with rain falling most afternoons. White-water rafting enthusiasts should visit between August and December when the waters of the Zambezi River are low. Those wishing to visit the Victoria Falls should do so after the rainy season (April and May) – although the spray may obscure your views slightly. Alternatively, at the end of the dry season (October to December), the water levels are low – you can sit in a rock pool and peer over the edge – if you dare!

Wildlife

We recommend that your tailor-made itinerary in Zimbabwe includes at least one national park. Hwange National Park is the country's largest, covering some 1.4 million hectares over a variety of different habitats. Overlooking the Zambezi, Mana Pools National Park offers you the chance to spot wildlife as you cruise along the river. For those seeking remoteness and pristine wilderness, Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve is where to head, with just one lodge nestled in 130,000 acres! Game drives, walking safaris and bird-watching expeditions can be enjoyed in all these enchanting areas.

Victoria Falls

Perhaps Zimbabwe’s most famous attraction, Victoria Falls lies at the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. Named after Queen Victoria, the locals refer to it as ‘Mosi-o-Tunya’ or, ‘the smoke that thunders’, due to the spray created by the water. There are plenty of walking trails to view the falls... but expect to get wet from the spray! One of the best ways to appreciate the scale of the falls is to take a scenic helicopter flight over them. During a full moon, ‘moonbows’ are sometimes created over Victoria Falls. This natural phenomenon is when rainbows created by the spray are illuminated by the light of the full moon.

Victoria Falls
Cruising the Zambezi River and Lake Kariba

Sunrise and sunset are some of the best times to cruise Zimbabwe’s wildlife dense waterways, during which the light is perfect for photography, especially if there are animals at the shoreline. The MV Matusadona offers a three-night luxury cruise on Lake Kariba, mooring at a different location each evening. Meanwhile, for the more adventurous, canoeing safaris are available on the Zambezi River from Mana Pools National Park.

Cruising the Zambezi River and Lake Kariba
Culture and Community

With 16 official languages, Zimbabwe has a fascinating, rich and diverse cultural heritage. Many camps and lodges have their own engaging programmes through which you can interact with the locals and learn more about their communities, while many also have schemes in place to support these local people, teaching everything from cookery to poacher tracking.
