To travel to Zimbabwe is to understand what it means to be wild at heart. At night, the sound of a hippo grunting rises up from the river at Mana Pools National Park. The trumpeting of a tusker echoes across the savannah at noontime. Enormous herds of elephant and buffalo roam Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe’s largest reserve. In the private game reserve of Matetsi you’ll find the rare sable antelope. Exciting wildlife safaris, with some of the best naturalists in all Africa, help visitors spot the proverbial Big 5, plus cheetahs and wild dogs, and many more animal and bird species. Throughout Zimbabwe, bush camps and lodgings are of the highest standards, and hospitality is warm and efficient.
Beyond the wildlife, the highlight of a trip to Zimbabwe is surely the point where the Zambezi River cascades over the edge of a basalt plateau. Forming the mile-wide Victoria Falls, it casts its magic on all who stand at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. At the UNESCO World Heritage site of Great Zimbabwe, the ruins of a medieval city tell the story of a forgotten civilization. It is an important part of the region’s history, and the network of stone monuments indicate a culture with great architectural skill.
To experience the best of Zimbabwe you need to start with a deep knowledge of its many facets, and the possibilities it holds. Enchanting Travels destination experts, like the safari guides of this region, are not only well-versed in the country’s sights, they’re good at devising a first-class private tour for you.

The trip was planned perfectly from beginning to the end. We were notified of any changes to the schedule based on delayed flights etc. It is a real advantage to have Enchanting Travels make the arrangements that allowed us to speed through customs and visa checks. Our drivers were always there waiting for our arrival so no time wasted waiting. Just the ease of the logistics that comes with traveling with Enchanting Travels keeps up going back to them when we are planning a trip. The experiences were beyond words. Our game drive guides were exceptional in getting us to where the animals were so we could enjoy seeing cheetah cubs at play while mom watched, lion cubs playing while a group of lioness’s napped in the sun and two male lions did the same. The most incredible sight was watching a group of 6 lioness’s separate a female buffalo and her calf and going on to taking them both down. It was like watching a Nat Geo film but we were there within 30 yards to watch. Our accommodations were top notch, staff everywhere we were were exceptional, and the settings were all different but wonderful. Our trip coordinator was in constant contact just to check in and see if there was anything we needed her to do. The Trip Agent App, our first time using it, was a very nice feature and was so much easier to use rather than pulling out a hard copy of the trip to find the answer to our questions. I wasn’t sure if I would use it or not but became dependent on it. Traveling doesn’t get any better if you travel with Enchanting Travels. We will be back!

Enchanting exceeded our expectations by a wide margin. They built the itinerary that was perfect for us and were with us throughout the entire trip checking in on us and handling any issues that could possibly arise (like a delayed flight that had a trickle effect). The staff were all over and above attentive and caring. The app they have you use is surprisingly excellent and helpful. Can’t say enough about this travel company. It’s the way to go.

This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and I could not make a higher recommendation. From the time of planning to execution of our trip to Southern Africa, the service was excellent. The attention to detail of every aspect of our trip was outstanding. The trip was seamless, from transportation to accommodations. It was comforting to have a connection in Africa who met with us online prior to the trip and was available throughout our journey. The app with all of our travel plans and documents made the trip stress free. We plan to use Enchanting Travels again in the future.

This trip to South Africa has been on our bucket list for a long time. Our only regret is that we didn’t do it sooner. It exceeded all expectations, particularly because of Enchanting Travels and our travel coordinator /consultants Akshay, and Cyprian. Their expertise, and professionalism allayed any concerns we had. Also, the timeframe and specific tours on our itinerary were perfect – four days in Cape Town, two days at the Krueger Safari Park, two days in Zimbabwe/Victoria Falls, and two days in Johannesburg. We were glad Enchanting Travels was recommended by a relative who relied on them for a trip to South Africa. Everything was perfectly customized to meet our needs and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this trip.

We went to Africa because it was on our bucket list. We thought it would turn out to be a nice trip but words cannot express how wonderful it was. We felt like we were living in a fantasy. Every single person that we met in Africa was amazingly friendly and happy. Everything else we saw there was so much more amazing that it being on television. We are really considering going back in the future since it was absolutely the best trip we have ever been on!!! I am suggesting Africa to everyone.
