Why ZimTravellers

Other operators research Zimbabwe.
We were raised by it.

Our founder was carried into a tented camp in Hwange at one week old. His father, Alan Elliott — founder of Touch the Wild and creator of the Presidential Elephants programme — was one of Zimbabwe's most legendary safari guides. That heritage shapes every journey we build.

When you book with ZimTravellers, your itinerary isn't pulled from a database. It's built from 150 years of family roots in this land — guides hand-picked by someone who's walked with every one of them, lodges chosen because we know them from the inside, and routes that don't exist on any other website.

What Our Travellers Say

Josh Elliott — ZimTravellers founder
Your Journey Starts Here

Tell me when you want to travel. I'll handle the rest.

I'm Josh. I was born in Zimbabwe, raised in its bush, and I've spent my life building relationships with the finest guides, lodges, and communities across this country. Every itinerary I create is personal — built from decades of local knowledge, not a database.

Share your dates and how you want to feel. I'll design a journey you couldn't find on any other website — because it doesn't exist until I build it for you.

Peak season is May–October. The best lodges and guides book out 6 months ahead.
