Travel in Zimbabwe

A wildlife destination par excellence, Limpopo's rolling savannahs are home to Africa's Big Five — the lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant and Cape buffalo. Its monumental ranges, the Soutpansberg and Waterberg, host hundreds of bird species and walking trails that give way to vistas so beautiful, they'll bring a tear to your eye. Bordering Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, South Africa’s northernmost province is also the link that joins the country to its sub-Saharan neighbours. It's a land where it's possible to trace the very roots of civilisation at archeological sites that date back to the stone age and beyond. To put it simply, there's a wealth of incredible things to do in Limpopo.

It’s been a tragedy for the people of Zimbabwe that the country has garnered so much unfavourable publicity over the last ten years, with headlines ranging from its controversial land redistribution programme to the ensuing collapsed economy.

Some of the world's greatest cities are no more. Once thriving, hundreds of cities across the world now lie in ruins – ravaged either by war or simply a natural progression. These are the world's greatest lost cities.
