The fabled land of King Solomon's mines and the Monomotapa empire, Zimbabwe boasts a wonderful diversity of wildlife and wilderness areas.  The Zambezi River plunges over the Victoria Falls and travels down through Lake Kariba and into Mana Pools National Park, a world heritage site. In the West, the Kalahari sands of Hwange National Park host huge herds of elephant and buffalo and in the South you’ll find the Lowveld of the Gona Re Zhou National Park.
