Real Gap's Zimbabwe Highlights

Zambezi River
Because of its fast flowing waters and amazing scenery, the famous Zambezi river is considered to be one of the best places in the world to Canoe and White Water Raft. Experience the exhilerating ride for yourself with our Zimbabwe Sports Adventure programme. Don't go too far though or you may end up going over Victoria Falls, the largest waterfall in the world.

Matobo National Park
Residing between amongst the magnificent granite domes of the Matobo Hills, within the UNESCO double World Heritage Site, Matobo National park plays host to a myriad of wildlife. Spend time here and in the Hwange national park with our Hwange National Park Conservation project.
