Birding in Zimbabwe
Despite the government's best efforts, Zimbabwe remains an excellent birding destination and tourists move throughout the country unaffected by the disagreements between the government and the farmers. Zimbabwe has some phenomenal birding to offer and hotspots such as the Eastern Highlands are always high up on the wishlists of birders in the know. Our safaris in Zimbabwe are designed to take advantage of all these birding hotspots and to ensure that our time in Zimbabwe is as productive as possible. Apart from some genuinely beautiful landscape the people of Zimbabwe are unbelievably friendly when you consider what hardships they have endured over the past ten years.
