Zimbabwe Hotels

Zimbabweans say the spirit of their ancestors and the heartbeat of the wild come together here. Nestled in the heart of Southern Africa, you can find ancient ruins peppered amongst stunning landscapes in Zimbabwe - where the thundering power of Victoria Falls is juxtaposed with the serene beauty of its national parks, which sit in the shadow of the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the country’s ancient capital from 4^th century CE. Zimbabwe is a land of contrasts and natural splendour.

Despite its historical challenges, Zimbabwe continues to draw visitors from around the globe. Its affordability compared to other African safari destinations makes it especially appealing, particularly when you can spot the Big Five in Hwange National Park, the main safari attraction in the country. The Zambezi River is an ideal spot for a sunset cruise, and the Eastern Highlands are packed with vistas, rivers and incredible views. The landscape is as diverse as its people, offering everything from adrenaline-pumping activities like bungee jumping at Victoria Falls to tranquil experiences like birdwatching on the serene Lake Kariba.
 
Zimbabweans maintain a strong sense of community and pride in their land. The country’s identity is woven from many the different threads of its ethnic groups, like the Shona, Ndebele, and other smaller communities. They each contribute their own unique traditions, music, and dance to Zimbabwe’s culture. Festivals such as the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) and the annual Jikinya Traditional Dance Festival celebrate Zimbabwe’s diversity.
 
Unsurprisingly, the country’s cuisine is as diverse as its people. It draws on many of the influences and from the history of the land, with many dishes coming out of its agricultural beginnings. Staple dishes like sadza, nyama, and mopane worms (a local delicacy) offer a taste of traditional Zimbabwean cooking, which is both hearty and flavourful. The use of locally sourced ingredients, such as peanut butter in stews and fresh vegetables, reflects a close connection to the land. 
 
Overall, Zimbabwe is a land of discovery that offers visitors an unforgettable mix of adventure, history, and culture. Whether you’re exploring the ancient ruins, embarking on a safari, or simply soaking up the local hospitality, Zimbabwe leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. It is a country where the wild and the ancient meet, creating a rich and dynamic landscape that invites exploration and offers a truly authentic African experience.
