Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe remains quite unknown compared with other Southern African countries despite the natural wonders it has to offer, especially the Victoria Falls. About 13% is dedicated to natural parks and game reserves, preserved from mass tourism. In winter, the dry season, the animals struggle to find the natural resources necessary to their survival and wait impatiently for the green landscapes of summer.

Despite the fact that the country is experiencing a very difficult economic situation at the moment, its people still remain extremely kind and welcoming.
