Facts about Zimbabwe

The scenic beauty of Zimbabwe lures many adventure vacationers and international travelers to this African destination. Tourists can enjoy the majestic mountains, forests, and savanna in this region. Wildlife enthusiasts are able to spot incredible specimens of rhinos, hippos, and baboons on the open plains. This country offers some of Africa’s most beautiful and iconic scenes. Visitors can see the breath-taking Victoria Falls in between taking in the local culture. Humanitarians packing for Zimbabwe can also find a number of non-profit groups in Africa. These African service projects accept charitable contributions and donations.

Many of the non-profit groups and service projects in Zimbabwe focus on improving the health and wellness of the under-served African communities. These groups include Abused and Battered Women and Children’s Home and The Disablement Association. Visitors can help many of these projects via donations. Other projects in this region work to support education in the local communities. Visitors who are interested in responsible tourism can donate school supplies, including books and writing utensils to help improve the primary schools in the area. Wildlife enthusiasts can also contribute to the CAMPFIRE program, which works to help communities surrounding marginal wildlife area. This project accepts donated camping equipment and other items.
