Victoria Falls
This landmark and iconic tourist destination, also known as ‘Mosi-Oa-Tunya’ by the locals (which translated literally means, ‘the smoke that thunders’) is a wonder to behold. Words cannot fully describe the majesty of this body of water; indeed if you do nothing else in Zimbabwe, this is the one destination you will have to visit.
Hwange National Park
