The Explorations Company, where no two journeys have ever been the same

The much discussed and long awaited Victoria Falls International Airport finally opened its doors in November 2016 and is expected to triple the capacity of the old airport and has been ushering in a new era of tourism for Zimbabwe.

To check it out, we recently sent The Telegraphs’ Travel Writer, Lisa Grainger on an extended visit to provide us with her independent view and she wrote ‘‘Every camp I stayed in was full of guests, enjoying an experience every bit as enriching as in any other southern African country’’

You can read a full account of Lisa’s Zimbabwe experience here.

Otherwise, one can stay at different camps and luxury safari lodges, utilising the different guides in each of these regions. What you can be assured of, however, is the very best in terms of guiding – because Zimbabwean guides have the most rigorous guiding process of all their African counterparts, which explains why Zimbabwean guides are snapped up all over Africa!

Imagine valleys with beautiful views; canoeing along the mighty Zambezi River with elephant and buffalo on the water’s edge; watching the carmine bee-eater nesting on the river bank at eye level; game-viewing in Hwange with the sun on your back and some of the best wildlife ahead of you, from huge herds of elephant and large lion populations as well as wild dog.

Have your own private mobile tented camp set up for you in the Mana Pools region with one of Zimbabwe’s finest guides.
