The BBC published an article today — a rather silly one at that — on who in their right mind would go on holiday to Zimbabwe. Certainly times are difficult in the country once the richest in all of Africa, and both the US and the UK governements advise staying out of Zimbabwe at all costs. But don’t remove it from your list of places to go just yet.

Timothy George, of British-based tour company African Sunset, believes visitors will return to Zimbabwe because the country still has what tourists are looking for and this will, in turn, help the country get back on its feet.

“Yes, there is political strife and things that are not right in terms of what the government is doing, but the country is really something to behold. People go on holiday to have an experience and that place has that ability…it has the wow factor.”

There’s no question Zimbabwe is one of the most stunningly-beautiful places on Earth. Trust me. And if you’re a hunter or looking for a fabulous safari, call my brother-in-law at Charlton-McCallum Safaris in Harare.
