Victoria Falls 4x4 RentalZimbabwe is the ideal destination for a Self-Drive Safari Self-drive camping in the Zambezi National Park
What Can I see in Zimbabwe?Zimbabwe's three most well-known National Parks - Hwange, Mana Pools and Gonarezhou are amongst some of the best game parks in Africa, whilst others such as Matobo Hills, Chimanimani, Matusadona, Chizarira, Kazuma and Zambezi national park are hidden gems that only a few international travellers know about and get to go to. Lake Kariba, once the largest man-made lake in the world, to the north. Victoria Falls, the world's largest curtain of falling water and a natural wonder of the world, to the west and Great Zimbabwe ruins in the south, which is the largest ancient structure south of the Sahara are all worthy of inclusion in an itinerary.
Wildlife, culture, history and unsurpassed natural beauty makes Zimbabwe a fantastic choice for a self-drive safari. Zimbabwe's National Parks are far less crowded than some neighbouring countries, so you can often find yourself in remote locations without another soul around, which is rather appealing to the traveller seeking wild places. The roads on the whole are not in bad condition and fuel is readily available. The country is safe to travel around, and Zimbabweans have a well-deserved reputation for being very friendly and helpful people. At one stage Zimbabwe had a reputation for terrible roadblocks, manned by abusive policemen. Those days are gone, long ago but the bad reputation sadly is hard to shake off. Self-drive camping safaris are very popular in Southern Africa, particularly in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia, where you see fully kitted camping 4x4 vehicles and trailers everywhere. Bushlore, Gecko and Britz are some of the leading self-drive vehicle hire companies, although there are several smaller ones as well. However, none of these companies have opened offices in Zimbabwe or have vehicles for hire within the country, so it has been quite a struggle for the self-drive enthusiast who just wants to travel around Zimbabwe to find a fully kitted out camping vehicle to hire.

Suggested Routes for 4x4 Rental in ZimbabweTo be honest, you could create a whole website dedicated to self-drive routes around Zimbabwe and maybe we will do that one day. There are so many permutations of iconic destinations, degrees of difficulty, personal preferences, and lengths of stay, it's impossible to do them any justice by discussing them in brief here. Once you know the length of your trip and have ideas of what you want to see and experience, then you would be best to discuss this with us or one of the 4x4 rental companies to come up with a route that suits you specifically.
