Zimbabwe

With more than a passing resemblance to a National Geographic best-of issue, Zimbabwe is a beautiful and usually safe country to visit. It boasts the majestic Victoria Falls, magnificent wildlife preserves and the medieval ruins of Great Zimbabwe, as well as the bustling city of Harare. Whether you’re lying in a tent listening to hippos snuffle in the river nearby or shaking your booty at an all-night percussion jam, there’s more than enough elbow room to raise a bucket of chibuku to your lips and toast this fascinating country.
