If you’ve been waiting for the right time to plan that once-in-a-lifetime trip, 2026 might just be the year - and Zimbabwe should definitely be on your radar. Recently named by global travel Platform Kayak, Zimbabwe, alongside Morocco, has been one of the world’s best countries to visit in 2025, and we couldn’t agree more!

Zimbabwe is a country that has it all, from diverse habitats to a wide array of birdlife and wildlife. Picture the thunder and spray of Victoria Falls gently tickling your face, where rainbows dance in the mist, the silent lope of a leopard through the bushes, or the ancient stone walls of the Great Zimbabwe ruins, standing proud as a reminder of a once-great civilisation. Out in the bush, golden savannahs stretch for miles, broken only by acacia trees and rocky outcrops, while the Eastern Highlands offer cool forests, rolling hills and trickling streams. The quiet trails are perfect for slowing down and finding yourself again. 

It’s not just about the landscapes either. There’s a real buzz around Zimbabwe’s cities right now. Searches for flights to Bulawayo have jumped by more than 80%, and Harare has seen a 56% rise, showing that more travellers are eager to explore the country’s urban heartbeat and cultures, as well as its wilderness.

At Amani Safaris, we love seeing Zimbabwe get the recognition it deserves. It’s a place where every journey feels like an adventure, whether you’re chasing the thrill of the wild, uncovering history, or finding peace in nature. For us, it’s one of Africa’s most special destinations—and 2026 is the perfect time to experience it. Come and journey with us!
