Out of Africa

Zimbabwe is one of the more mysterious countries of the vast continent that is Africa.

It is populated by descendants of the Bantu tribes, who migrated from the north around the 10th century and evidence of their mainly pastoral lifestyle can still be seen in the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, near the present-day town of Masvingo.

The country also offers some of the best wildlife parks in southern Africa. From the forested mountains to the grasslands of Hwange National Park, from the hot Mopani Forest to the shores of Lake Kariba, they tempt tourists to explore and get close to nature.
