Victoria Falls: Known locally as "The Smoke That Thunders," Victoria Falls is one of the most impressive natural sights on the African continent. Located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, it is the world's largest waterfall. There are walkways and viewpoints on the Zimbabwean side, whereas adrenalin-fuelled activities such as bungee jumping and whitewater rafting abound on the Zambezi River.
Great Zimbabwe: The medieval capital of the Kingdom of Zimbabwe during the late Iron Age, this ruined city of Great Zimbabwe is now one of the most important archaeological sites in sub-Saharan Africa. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and comprises three connected complexes full of ruined towers, turrets, and walls all magnificently engineered and constructed from stone.
Hwange National Park: Located in western Zimbabwe, Hwange National Park is the largest and oldest game reserve in the country. It is home to the Big Five and is especially famous for its huge herds of elephants and buffalo. Hwange is also a haven for several rare or endangered species, including the South African cheetah, the brown hyena, and the African wild dog.
Lake Kariba: On the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe lies Lake Kariba, the largest man-made lake in the world. It was created in 1958 by the damming of the Zambezi River and supports an incredible variety of bird and animal life. It is famous for houseboat vacations and for its population of tigerfish (one of the most sought-after game fish in Africa).
