My guide, Fungayi, was amazing. The tour company looked after everything.
- Victoria Falls Hwange And Chobe
Fantastic! Afro Honeyguide Adventures headed by Fungay and aided by Innocent had a perfect itinerary setup to see Hwange and Chobe National Parks along with Victoria Falls. All the guides were very informative, personable and accommodating. The lodging at all places was unique and enjoyable, especially the B&B in Kasane which I absolutely loved. My tour in the off-season was an awesome, unforgettable bucket list experience.
Most popular destinations in Zimbabwe
Discover amazing wildlife and landscapes in Hwange National Park. Most travelers enjoy exploring our Hwange National Park adventures in June, making it the most popular time of the year.
See all Hwange National Park toursThe mighty Zambezi River creates the world's largest sheet of falling water at Victoria Falls, and our travelers love experiencing it from both sides of the border. You get totally different views from Zambia and Zimbabwe, each worth exploring. The river cruises at sunset have become a real highlight - you'll drift past hippos in the water, spot crocs sunning themselves on shore and often see elephants wandering down for their evening drink. Many visitors combine their falls stay with a trip to Chobe National Park, where you'll find the world's biggest elephant population and excellent wildlife watching. The falls change completely with the seasons - February through May brings peak water flow with spray visible for miles and permanent rainbows in the mist, though some viewpoints get pretty soaked. Come during the dry season from August to December for clearer views and a chance to swim in Devil's Pool right at the falls' edge.

"We are a travel consultant company in Washington, DC. I recently had the pleasure of booking a group vacation for my clients to Livingstone, Zambia, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Little Liz Tours. Their professionalism and dedication to ensuring an unforgettable experience were evident from start to finish. Little Liz Tours went above and beyond to tailor the perfect itinerary for my clients, ensuring they experienced the best of Livingstone and its surrounding attractions. From exhilarating safaris to breathtaking views of Victoria Falls, every aspect of their journey was meticulously planned and executed flawlessly, including a doma dinner and a helicopter tour of Victoria Falls. The driver, Mr. Mudenda was an outstanding gentleman, very friendly, and made my client feel comfortable and made their vacation unforgettable. Thank you so much, Mr. Mudenda. What truly set Little Liz Tours apart was their unparalleled attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. They anticipated my clients' needs every step of the way, ensuring they felt comfortable, safe, and well taken care of throughout their entire stay. I want to give a shout-out to Ms. Bronah, who curated the itinerary and provided outstanding customer service and prompt communication. I even provided my client with surprise gifts (Wine for their dinner), helped them apply for a visa, and got them a visa to cross over to Zimbabwe. Thanks to Little Liz Tours, my clients had an exceptional time in Livingstone, Zambia, and they returned home with memories that will last a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Liz Tours to anyone planning a vacation to Botswana, Zambia, or Zimbabwe. Their professionalism, expertise, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences make them the ideal choice for travelers seeking an extraordinary adventure.

"What can I say, an excellent trip from start to finish, picked up from the airport on time by my assigned driver, Wilson, who took me to my hotel, the Shrub Lodge, and what a little gem of a place, beautiful, nice and quiet, extremely friendly, polite, and pleasant staff, comfortable, clean room. The walking tour of Victoria Falls was out of this world, as a solo visitor I had my own ‘personal’ guide, Locke, she was brilliant, very friendly, knowledgeable, and just gave my visit that little something extra that I will never forget. The sunset cruise on the Zambezi was amazing, and very relaxing. Did an extra optional helicopter ride over the Falls which was an awesome experience, well worth $175. Was picked up from hotel on time and was back at the airport with plenty of time for my flight. Overall my 3 day tour to Victoria Falls was an amazing experience.

Best places to start your Zimbabwe tour
Most Zimbabwe tours kick off from Victoria Falls - about 39 of our recent departures started right there. While some folks begin from Harare, Pretoria and also Livingstone, the Falls makes perfect sense as a starting point since it's close to many key sites. Book around 70 days ahead to get the dates and guides you want, especially for those popular Zambezi cruises. The Falls show their full power from February to May after the rains, though river cruises run all year. Many visitors combine their Falls experience with Hwange National Park nearby - head there July through October when elephants and other wildlife gather at the waterholes during dry season.
Discover Zimbabwe tours for every budget
Our budget-friendly 8-day Zimbabwe tours blend Victoria Falls with quality game viewing in Hwange National Park. You'll ride elephants at Antelope Park, discover Great Zimbabwe's ancient ruins and walk with rhinos in Matopos - all while staying in comfortable lodges that keep costs sensible. The guides at places like Big Cave lodge love sharing stories over dinner, and our travelers particularly connect with the lion breeding project visits. For shorter trips, the 5-day options zero in on either Victoria Falls or Hwange, where you'll head out for both morning and evening game drives to spot more wildlife. Many travelers pick our 3-day Victoria Falls packages that include guided tours, river cruises and time exploring local craft markets.
Our luxury Zimbabwe trips come in two distinct flavors. The first puts you in exclusive tented camps along the Zambezi in Mana Pools National Park - think guided walks, canoe trips and tiger fishing. The second centers on Victoria Falls with stays at upscale spots like Bayete Guest Lodge, mixing helicopter flights over the falls with elegant dining at The Victoria Falls Hotel Stanley's Terrace. What makes these trips special is how flexible they are - you choose between morning walks or game drives and pick your ideal time for sundowner cruises. The guides at these camps are pros at reading the group and adjusting each day's activities to match what you're in the mood for.

For families, our guides naturally adjust the rhythm - mixing village visits with wildlife watching that keeps kids, teens and parents all engaged.
Top Zimbabwe travel itineraries to fit your plans
Seven-day Zimbabwe tours branch into northern circuit experiences and southern heritage explorations. Up north, you'll link Victoria Falls with Hwange and Mana Pools, where professional guides lead walking safaris to track elephants and big cats. Down south, the journey weaves through Matopos National Park - it's UNESCO listed and you can walk near white rhinos and discover ancient rock art. Our guests really enjoy how varied each day is; you might be following rhino tracks one morning then exploring Great Zimbabwe ruins the next afternoon. July through September works best, with clear skies and peak wildlife viewing.

Special touches include viewing elephants from underground hides and staying at private bush camps. You'll mix land and water safaris, especially on Lake Kariba where hippos and crocs come right up to boat level.

Demographics
Our Zimbabwe solo tours really hit the mark with personal guided experiences, especially the Victoria Falls and Hwange combinations. Guides like Fungayi make sure everyone's part of the group while keeping things flexible. You'll join guided walks through the Victoria Falls rainforest and full-day game drives in Hwange, where there's always something happening - from elephant herds moving through to lions lounging in the shade and also over 400 bird species to spot. The Zambezi sunset cruises work perfectly for meeting other travelers, with hippos and crocs putting on a show along the riverbanks. The lodges become social spots in the evenings, and our solo guests tell us they love how the days mix group activities with time to explore on their own.
Couples really connect with our multi-day Zimbabwe trips that mix wildlife with quiet moments together. The 5-day Victoria Falls and Hwange tour starts with private sunset cruises - just you two sharing a drink while elephants come down to the Zambezi. Many pairs split their days between morning wildlife tracking in Hwange and lazy afternoons at the lodge. Some go all out with bungee jumping at the falls, white water rafting on the Zambezi and also helicopter flights over the spray. For a slower pace, staying at Hwange Safari Lodge lets you alternate between game drives and quiet afternoons watching wildlife from your private deck - our guests say those peaceful moments often become trip highlights.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall weather suits mixed-activity tours perfectly. Popular 5-day itineraries blend misty morning walks through Victoria Falls rainforest with Hwange game drives. Zambezi River sunset cruises are excellent this season - watch hippos, crocodiles and also elephants come down to drink. Our customers appreciate meeting new groups each day instead of staying with one fixed tour. Many also like having the choice to upgrade from camping to chalet accommodation. Travelers keep telling us great things about Afro Honeyguide Adventures, and their guides Fungayi and Innocent really stand out. These two know their stuff inside out, pay close attention to all the small details and are always ready to help. Our guests particularly love how the tours flow through Hwange and Chobe National Parks before wrapping up at Victoria Falls - it's a natural progression that just works. Little Roz Tours is hitting all the right notes too. Their guides Bothwell and Shakes have earned quite a reputation among our travelers, especially for their deep knowledge of Hwange and Victoria Falls. The way they plan everything takes the stress out of African safari travel, letting you focus on spotting wildlife and soaking in the landscapes. What makes both companies special is how they've figured out the perfect balance between wildlife viewing in the parks and time at Victoria Falls. When visitors write back to us, they often mention how smoothly everything runs - from pickup to drop-off and all the game drives in between.

Many of our customers pick tours that blend activities - start with morning rhino tracking then spend afternoons exploring Great Zimbabwe ruins and also Bulawayo city tours. The mix of wildlife and ancient history makes winter trips particularly engaging.
