Two major rivers form landlocked Zimbabwe's northern and southern boundaries: the great Zambezi in the north and the languid Limpopo in the south. In between lies a variety of habitats, from the granite hills of the Motopos to the beautiful mountains, forests and rivers of the eastern Highlands. Zimbabweans, predominantly from the Shona and Ndebele ethnic groups are astonishingly friendly and hospitable. The country is exquisite with diverse wilderness areas and the breathtaking Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The accommodation is exceptional from rustic thatch-roofed lodges to the classic colonial style Victoria Falls Hotel. Unfortunately Zimbabwe has had more than its share of political and economical woes over the last few years. In the mean time, neighboring Zambia is fast becoming a hot destination for viewing the falls, rafting the Zambezi River and idyllic game viewing.
