Zimbabwe is NOTHING like I expected. Is Zimbabwe safe for tourists? What is it actually like to travel here? In this Zimbabwe travel guide and travel documentary, we journey deep across the country to discover its vibrant cities, ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and incredible people.
Our African adventure begins in Harare, the capital city of Zimbabwe, before heading into the Eastern Highlands. We explore the wilderness of Nyanga National Park, take on the thrilling giant swing and zipline at Far and Wide, and travel through the spectacular Honde Valley. Along the way, we meet Tinashe, a Zimbabwean winemaker who shares his inspiring story. At Aberfoyle, we tour the lush tea fields and factory to learn how Zimbabwean tea is produced and exported around the world. We also visit the Vumba region to experience its misty mountain landscapes and local coffee estates.
The journey then takes us to Chishakwe in the Save Valley Conservancy for a true wildlife safari experience. We track rhinos on foot, encounter African wild dogs, elephants, giraffes, and crocodiles, and meet Bryce and the brave ATS anti-poaching team working on the frontlines of wildlife conservation. Next, we visit the ancient Great Zimbabwe ruins near Masvingo, exploring the monumental stone city that gave this nation its name. Finally, we fly to the world-famous Victoria Falls to witness one of the natural wonders of the world.
Whether you are planning a trip or just curious about Africa travel, this video shows the real, raw beauty of Zimbabwe.

I wrote the names of all the places you travelled through Nyanga, Honde Valley, Chimanimani, Vumba, Mutare and i looked up all these places on the internet, my God, why is it they never show us the real Zimbabwe, the only logical reason i can think of is they want to keep it for themselves, i wouldn't be surprised if a number of prominant European business people and politicians own property there, i did my own short research and realised you didn't even cover a quarter of what Zimbabwe has to offer, they have the largest man-made lake shared with Zambia, its so huge you would think its an ocean, they have great world-wide known top tier national parks like Mana pools, Hwange national park, Matusadonha national park, Gona rezhou national park, Victoria Falls national park, they have smaller private parks like Haka, Gosho, Imire game park, i didn't even know that Mutarazi is the second highest waterfall in Africa, only found out about it after i looked up Mutarazi waterfall, i only knew of Victoria Falls, i mean i can envision myself living in the Eastern Highlands and travelling all around Zim, my mind is made up, i need land high up in the mountains of the Eastern Highlands and i do not want to retire there, i need to go there ASAP and start my new life there, thank you for showing us this beauty mate.
Ooh my great Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 ❤
This is the Zimbabwe many people never get to see. 🇿🇼 From breathtaking landscapes and untouched wilderness to incredible wildlife and natural beauty—this country is truly something special. 🌍🦁
Respect to you for showing the world the REAL Zimbabwe. Videos like this don't just showcase a country, they change perceptions. Zimbabwe deserves to be seen, explored and appreciated. ❤️🇿🇼
Beautiful Zimbabwe. Untamed Zimbabwe. Home. 🇿🇼🔥
