A land-locked country in southern Africa, Zimbabwe is a place of extraordinary beauty and proud of it. From Victoria Falls to extensive grasslands, Zimbabwe is a diverse country ready to entertain. Zimbabwe also takes care to protect the wildlife it shows off. Antelope Park is home to the ALERT lion rehab program that is working hard to save the African Lion, a species whose population has declined by over eighty percent since the 1970s.

If you need a break from nature and want to explore other aspects of local culture, head to the capital city of Harare. The National Gallery and National Archives give a glimpse into the culture and history of Zimbabwe through some of the country
