ZIMBABWE

VICTORIA FALLS
On the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, lies one of the world’s natural wonders. The Victoria Falls, the world’s most spectacular waterfall, has been attracting visitors for over a hundred years, and is the main tourist destination for both Zimbabwe and Zambia. The mighty Zambezi River etched breathtaking trenches into a relatively flat terrain, creating the waterfalls and some spectacular white water rapids further downstream.

Activities in this area are, white water rafting on the Zambezi rapids, game viewing in nearby reserves, bungee jumping for the more adventurous, horse trails up the river and of course exploring the mighty Victoria Falls on foot.

Travelers tip: Viewing the falls from the Zambian side is better, but the accommodation is somewhat more rustic than on the Zimbabwe side.

LAKE KARIBA
One of the largest man-made lakes in the world’ Lake Kariba is 281 km long and 32 km wide at the widest point. Hippo, crocodile, elephant and other smaller game can be found on the shores, and on the islands created when the river was dammed. On the Zimbabwe side, tourist resorts have been built, and cater for all types.

Activities include boat excursions, game viewing and fantastic fishing. The stay away months are October – March as the +40`c temperatures make life unbearable.

THE GREAT ZIMBABWEAN RUINS

Great Zimbabwe is beautifully situated in a fertile and well-watered valley at the head of the Mutirikwi River. The main attraction is the great enclosure of Imba Kuru, with its’ high walls and western like architecture. The estimated time of construction is placed at about 1200 AD, and is said to have been built by the indigenous people of Zimbabwe. The ruins are a testament to African ingenuity and culture, and are a real eye-opener.

ZAMBIA

LUANGWA VALLEY
One of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in Africa is found in the South Luangwa National Park, in Eastern Zambia. This vast area of 9050 sq. kilometres forms part of the great rift valley, with the majestic Luangwa river meandering its’ way through the centre. With the high concentration of Nile crocodile, hippo and, extraordinarily, leopard, game viewing in the park is truly a wild experience.

MALAWI

There is no country in Africa that has its’ geography so sculptured and determined by Africa’s Great Rift Valley. Towering mountains, lush fertile valleys and enormous, crystal clear lakes are the hallmarks of much of the rift valley. This is what Malawi is all about. Lake Malawi is 600km long and 80km wide, and is the life source of this little African country.
Visitors to Lake Malawi will be marveled by its’ enormity and the friendliness of people inhabiting its shores

Out-Post Safaris can tailor your vacation to these areas to your requirements. Victoria Falls is best combined with a Botswana trip, including Chobe Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta. The Luangwa Valley and Malawi is also a good combination, but if you let us know what sort of trip you are looking for, we will send you an in-depth itinerary with photos and rates for that time of the year.
