In the over 80 African safari & tours we have taken since 1993, our recent Zimbabwean African safari ranks at the top. We went on an African canoeing & kayaking safari on the Zambezi (click here to learn more).

One thing this most recent trip to Zimbabwe proved again was that it is a wonderful African safari destination.

Granted that Zambia has grown very quickly as a safari destination, and is wonderful in its own right. But much of that growth has come at Zimbabwe�s expense.

What that means is that Zimbabwe�s parks are far less crowded! And you can have some truly wonderful & exciting African safari experiences set in some of Africa�s best game parks.

Here is a guide to the best times to visit and the best parks to visit.
