Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
gateway to Victoria Falls and Southern African safaris
✔️ Pros
- home to Victoria Falls, one of the world’s greatest natural wonders
- excellent access to Botswana’s top safari regions
- dramatic landscapes along the Zambezi River
- less crowded than many classic safari countries
- strong focus on nature-based tourism
⛔ Cons
- weak economy and limited infrastructure
- political and economic instability
- not suitable for spontaneous or independent travel
- cities have little touristic appeal
☑️ What to Do
Visit Victoria Falls from the Zimbabwe side
Zambezi River cruise and viewpoints
Cross-border trip to Botswana (Chobe safaris)
📝 Notes
Zimbabwe works best as a focused gateway destination, not as a country to explore deeply.
The main hub is Victoria Falls town, with easy logistics to:
- Zambia (alternative views of the falls)
- Botswana (Chobe National Park safaris)
Travel is usually tour-based or pre-arranged, which fits well with short itineraries centered on outstanding natural highlights rather than urban or cultural exploration.
