Geography, Zimbabwe

Displayed: times.

For centuries Africa has been called the "Dark Continent" by early explorers, hunters and travellers - a mysterious and wild continent reluctant to reveal her secrets. Not much has changed since those early days. To the modern-day traveller Africa is still a treasure chest of natural riches waiting to be explored.
Zimbabwe is a land of diversity and contrasts and unrivalled natural beauty. It is a land of adventure where one can experience nature first-hand, whether you are hurtling through rapids on the mighty Zambezi, bungi-jumping off the bridge at the Victoria Falls or watching a herd of elephant at sunset in one of the many wildlife sanctuaries. Of course one cannot mention the Zambezi without referring to one of the world's most magnificent natural wonders, the Victoria Falls. Whatever your choice of adventure, you will leave Zimbabwe with fond memories of an unforgettable visit. But there is more to this wild and wonderful country than thundering water and plains teeming with game. A history that can be traced back thousands of years is interwoven with legends of ancient tribes and forgotten civilisations, of Portuguese travellers, brave English explorers and Arab traders who came from the north to exchange beads and cloth for ivory and gold. One of the sites that silently testifies to this fact is the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the largest man-made structure in Africa after Egypt's Pyramids.
Although steeped in history, Zimbabwe has kept up with the demands of catering for the modern-day tourism industry. The country boasts a well-developed infrastructure, including aspects such as telecommunications, roads, banking services, transport, and upper-market accommodation and shopping facilities. Perhaps this popular tourist destination's greatest asset is its friendly people, always ready to welcome visitors to their country with a smile and good service. More info on: www.africantravel.com
