 Birding
- Zimbabwe is a paradise for birders. Our diverse habitat ranging
from hot, low lying Kalarhari scrublands to cooler rocky mountains
attracts an equally diverse variety of birds - 684 species in 71 families
have been recorded during peak migrant season. Log onto to www.birdlifezimbabwe.co.zw
for more. |
Fishing
- Nothing beats the landing of a Tiger Fishwhilst 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. The Zimbabwean Fisherman website (www.stellachiweshe.co.zw/fisherman)
has more information. |
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 -
Zimbabwe offers them all. They could be in National Parks or in private
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 in cities, towns and tourist
destinations. Some are more basic than others. The National Parks
also have basic camping facilities. |
Boating/Canoeing/Cruises
- Cruise in comfort aboard a luxury houseboat on Lake
Kariba or go canoeing down vast stretches of the mighty Zambezi
River. Boating clubs at Kariba, Lake Chivero outside Harare, Darwendale
Dam on the way to Kariba, Masvikadei near Chinhoyi and Lake Mtirikwe
near Masvingo would offer boat owners launching facilities. |

the Victoria Falls and Bulawayo.
