Zimbabwe boasts some amazing natural sites. The Victoria Falls are
without a doubt one of the world's grandest natural spectacles and every
viewpoint reveals something new. Running from northeast to southwest
down the centre of the country, and connecting its two largest cities,
is the Highveld, a chain of low mountains and Zimbabwe's most populous
area.
Zimbabwe also offers some of the best wildlife parks in southern Africa.
From the forested mountains of the Eastern highlands to the sun-washed
grasslands of Hwange National Park, from the hot Mopani Forest to the
shores of Lake Kariba, more than 11% of Zimbabwe's land - 44,688 sq km
(17,254 sq miles) - has been set aside as parks and wildlife estates.
There are also several botanical gardens, sanctuaries and more than a
dozen national safari areas for hunting (an activity that helps to
finance the conservation programme and is strictly controlled).
