Zimbabwe- Southern Africa\u2019s under-appreciated treasure- has been resoundingly voted one of the ten best travel destinations worldwide. Keen to head somewhere a little different in the New Year? Then Zim [as it\u2019s fondly known] could well be the perfect choice for you. Keep reading and find out more.<\/p>\n<h2>What makes Zimbabwe so special?<\/h2>\n<p>Despite international press and their occasional doom-ladened headlines, travellers \u2018on the ground\u2019 have long known that Zimbabwe is a shining star of travel destinations. It\u2019s one of the safest places around to visit, and the friendly nature of the locals adds that extra polish to the experience. Their hope and vibrancy is palpable, and tourists here are viewed as helping to support them on their way to a better future, something Zimbabwe has lacked on the international political front as something of a forgotten country, so your custom is always welcome and deeply appreciated. Don\u2019t think the facilities open to you suffer, however- you\u2019ll find world-class accommodation and superb wildlife reserves for you to explore and enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Add to that a rich and vibrant wildlife heritage [including ample parks packed with the Big 5], world-heritage level archaeological sites to visit and explore ancient history and picturesque landscapes comprising everything from iconic African bush to forest and soaring mountainsides. Sit quietly for a moment, and you\u2019ll likely hear the other key drawcard calling to you- the deafening roar of one of the most spectacular natural wonders around, the \u2018smoke-that-thunders\u2019 herself. Mighty Victoria Falls lies on the border with Zambia and she beckons you to come and play! With less traffic on this side of the border, you\u2019re sure to have a superlative experience.<\/p>\n<h2>What can I expect from my Zimbabwe trip?<\/h2>\n<p>The same great Acacia Africa experience, of course! We fully service many exciting destinations in Zimbabwe, both as multi-country epic treks and single destination visits.
