When to go: Zimbabwe

Although Zimbabwe is located in the tropics, temperate conditions prevail all your round as the climate is moderated by altitude and the inland position of the country. The hot and dry season is from August to October with the rainy season beginning normally in November and lasting until March. Zimbabwe is beautiful all year although the best months for safaris tend to be better in August and September. 

British Airways offer direct flights from London to Johannesburg (duration 11.5 hours), located in the East of South Africa. On arrival in Johannesburg, there are regular daily flights to either Victoria Falls or Harare of around 2 hours duration. If you are combining a holiday with Cape Town, there are also regular flights direct to Victoria Falls making Victoria Falls a great combination with the Western Cape of South Africa.

Please contact your GP or travel health specialist to check what vaccinations you require.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
