Zimbabwe lies a short 2 hour flight north of Johannesburg. We suggest a 2 or 3 night stay that most Kosher guests focus their time on. The key attraction is the famous Victoria Falls.
Victoria Falls lies in the far western corner of the country, and remains a popular fly-in and out location for tourists.
The many hotels deliver a great 2 to 3-day experience with sunset boat cruises, “flight of angels” helicopter flips over the falls, guided 4 x 4 trips into the neighbouring national parks, and excellent cultural village and African market experiences, within proximity to the falls.
The simplest way to do a luxury Kosher safari in this region is either premade meals if you are a couple, or family travelling, or opt for Parev meals made on site. Meat imports can be challenging, and the resultant limitations at the border, mean it is safest to avoid meat imports altogether, and go without Fleischik for 48 hours.
Direct flights from Johannesburg International Airport, means this attraction combines well with a trip to/from Cape Town, Johannesburg and even options via Kruger National Park.
Just south of Victoria Falls lies Hwange National Park, which is a 2-3 hour drive or a short 20 – 30 minutes charter flight to some of the better-known luxury kosher safari lodges in Zimbabwe. This area is famous for large elephant herds, with an estimated total population of over 40 000. This makes it one of the largest elephant populations in the world and the largest concentration in Zimbabwe.
Wildlife that congregate around the waterholes make for great game viewing.
Popular areas in Zimbabwe include: Hwange National Park, Lake Kariba, Mana Pools, Southern Zimbabwe, Matopos Hills and Malilangwe.
