Birding - Zimbabwe is a paradise for bird-watchers or birders. The very varied geographical areas found in Zimbabwe are host to some 684 species (in 71 families) of birds during peak migrant season. Some of the most notable species being the African Fish Eagle found mostly along the Zambesi River and the Black Eagle found mainly in the Matopos area. A very active Birding Society is alive and well and organise regular outings. Some interesting birding sites to visit are Birdlife Zimbabwe and www.birdingpal.org/zimbabwe.

Fishing - Nothing beats the landing of a "Tiger Fish" whilst drifting down the Zambesi River or whiling away your time on Lake Kariba. Bass fish in one of the many lakes or dams situated throughout the country or simply fry up a freshly caught 'bream' found almost everywhere. Catch trout in the beautifully scenic Eastern Highlands or ask for it served up on your dinner plate at almost any restaurant. Some interesting fishing web-sites are www.mweb.co.zw/fisherman/ and www.samara.co.zw/fisherman/.

Golfing - Some of Africa's finest golf courses are to be found in Zimbabwe. Imagine playing golf in Victoria Falls and sharing the fairway with warthogs or elephants or seeing the most spectacular mountain views in the Bvumba or Nyanga. The capital - Harare, has internationally recognised golf courses situated within minutes of the city centre. Holidaying in Zimbabwe - bring your golf clubs.

Safaris - Tented, walking, photographic, large game, luxury or horseback safaris - Zimbabwe offers them all. See the "Big-Five" or one of the numerous species of antelope in one of our many National Parks or private game conservancies.

Hunting - Hunting is strictly controlled by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and the Zimbabwe Association of Tour and Safari Operators. Zimbabwe boasts of its 'CAMPFIRE' project which generates funds for the communal areas from hunting concessions issued. Hunt a much feared Buffalo or a majestic bull Elephant whilst enjoying absolute luxury in some of the most beautiful areas of Zimbabwe.

Camping - Both private and municipal campsites are found in almost every city and most popular tourist destinations. Our National Parks also have basic camping facilities at the majority of their parks around the country.

Boating/Canoeing/Cruises - Cruise in comfort aboard a luxury houseboat on Lake Kariba. Canoe down vast stretches of the mighty Zambesi River or enjoy boating on the many inland lakes and dams situated throughout the country. Boating clubs are numerous at the larger lakes such as Lake Chivero, situated just outside Harare and offer the boat owner full facilities.

Flying/Charters - Our national carrier, Air Zimbabwe, has internal flights to both the Victoria Falls and Bulawayo. It is advisable to check out their web-site for flight information and frequency on www.airzim.co.zw. Most major cities have charter flight facilities whose details can be sought from your hotel information desk.

Fitness/Gym/Swimming - Most of the more exclusive hotels have full gym and swimming facilities whilst nearly all hotels/lodges/motels/inns have swimming pools. Municipal swimming pools and private gyms are found in almost all towns and cities - check the local telephone directory on arrival or ask your hosts.
