– Still in Zim, there are two UNESCO World Heritage sites on this one tour! The Matopos National Park’s rock hewn landscape and bushman paintings rival that of Namibia’s Spitzkoppe, and Great Zimbabwe, is home to some of the oldest and largest ruins in southern Africa.
– The Antelope park situated in Gweru (accommodated tours only) is set in over 3000 acres of open savannah grassland, and is known as one of Southern Africa’s most Intriguing Destinations. Voted second runner up in the 2012 AZTA Awards after its “Zimbabwe’s Best Safari Camp” nomination, the location is best known for its walking with lion’s activity. Riding through the wilderness on elephant or on horseback, viewing the abundance of awesome wildlife, and canoeing on the tranquil lake are just some of the wonderful activities you can enjoy.
