Zimbabwe is best suited for travelers who are interested in wildlife, history, culture, and vast wildernesses. Victoria Falls is on most bucket lists and offers many activities! Elephant lovers will delight as they number in the tens of thousands. Level of guiding very high due to the high level of education in the country.
