Top Parks in Zimbabwe

I think staying in a lodge nearby is better than the hotels in the town. It’s closer to the park and saves you time on travel, plus the views are breathtaking!

My advice is to take the train ride through the park around 3 PM. The views are stunning at sunset, and the animals come out more then.

I suggest bringing cash for entry fees and souvenirs, as some places don’t accept cards. Trust me, you'll save a bit and avoid the fuss of finding an ATM.

My advice is to join a guided tour if you can, especially early in the morning around 7am. The guides know all the cool spots and can help you avoid the crowds. Plus, you’ll learn a ton from them!

Definitely try to book your entry tickets online ahead of time. I waited in line for ages when I got there, and it was a bit of a bummer. Just a few clicks could save you a lot of time!

Definitely pack a good pair of binoculars! The wildlife viewing is amazing and having a better view can make your experience unforgettable. I missed a couple of great sightings because I left mine behind.

I recommend going during the weekdays if you can. It was way less crowded, which made the whole experience much more enjoyable. Plus, you might snag a better deal on boat rentals if you ask nice.
