Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya ('The Smoke That Thunders'), is the world's largest sheet of falling water at 1,708 meters wide.
Great Zimbabwe is a medieval stone city built without mortar that was the capital of a powerful kingdom and gives the country its name.
Standing at the edge of Victoria Falls as a wall of mist rises hundreds of meters, you understand why it's called 'The Smoke That Thunders.'
- A traveler on visiting Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a southern African nation famous for the awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, and the ancient stone ruins of Great Zimbabwe. Hwange National Park hosts one of Africa's largest and most diverse wildlife populations, while Mana Pools on the Zambezi River offers some of the continent's best walking safaris. The dramatic Eastern Highlands, the Matobo Hills with their San rock art, and Zimbabwe's warm, welcoming people complete a truly unforgettable destination.
