I’m sure someone is planning to travel far and wide in 2024. Well travelling especially in Zimbabwe is the best thing you can do for yourself, you will experience different cultures, different ethnicities and you will see magnificent views. Most Zimbabwean travellers are more concerned about counting the coins and making sure there is enough money to cover this and that while travelling.
I have a new challenge for you in 2024, ditch that budget travelling mentality and take a walk on the luxury travelling side and experience Zimbabwe in utter luxury. I’m so sure this experience will be so exhilarating and perspective-altering that you might just brand yourself a luxury traveller after just one visit to Zimbabwe’s luxurious resorts. You will experience Zimbabwe on a new level, some things that are exclusive to some luxury resorts only. For example, I hear at one of the most luxurious places in Zimbabwe, the park rangers have to come to take you from the lodges in their game viewing trucks to the dining hall because you might encounter some animals if you walk on your own. Cool right? Where else were you going to experience that except at those luxury places in Zimbabwe?
If I have convinced you to be a luxury traveller, then you probably should check these places out on social media get in touch and make a reservation because, in my opinion, they are the epitome of luxury destinations in Zimbabwe:
- Bumi Hills Lodge Kariba – breathtaking is probably an understatement when describing this place. Situated on the shores of Lake Kariba, guests can do activities like fishing, canoeing, game viewing, have a spa day, sunset cruises or just enjoy Kariba far away from the meddling crowd. If you want to visit Kariba you should go to Bumi Hills Lodge.
- Fothergill Island Kariba – this small island could be the best suggestion about luxury travel you will hear in months if not years. The island offers so many activities and many services, they will transfer you from the mainland to the island once you reach Kariba, there is even a small aerodrome for people to fly directly to the island. They have all the activities that might interest you like canoeing, etc, they even have spots like archery that you can do while staying at their luxury residence.
- Singita Pamushana – the list won’t be complete without this gem of a place right in the middle of a 130,000-acre conservation park in Chiredzi. Singita is the true definition of luxury and beauty. Game viewing, swimming, and relaxing are just some of the activities that you can enjoy at this utterly beautiful place.
- Matetsi Victoria Falls – this riverbank luxury safari lodge will make you experience Victoria Falls differently and probably make you see it in a different light. Matetsi people will set up a breakfast table for you outside, close to the riverbank and you get to eat your eggs while looking at the majestic river Zambezi. That’s just one thing about Matetsi, they have so many luxurious things to offer, you will be spoilt for choice.
- Skydeck Mountain Retreat – situated in the heart of Honde Valley in the Eastern Highlands this retreat overlooks one of Zimbabwe’s tallest mountains, Mt Inyangani. It is so quiet and serene and mind-blowingly beautiful you might now want to leave for activities in the area,
