Wild Places of Zimbabwe

Wild Places of Zimbabwe by Dick Pitman is a beautifully written and richly illustrated exploration of Zimbabwe’s most remote and unspoiled landscapes. The book takes readers on a journey through the country’s diverse wilderness areas—from the vast, untamed bush of the Zambezi Valley to the ancient forests of the Eastern Highlands and the sweeping grasslands of the southern Lowveld.

Pitman blends natural history, conservation insight, and personal experience to paint vivid portraits of these wild regions. He brings to life the ecology, wildlife, and unique beauty of each area, while also reflecting on the challenges facing Zimbabwe’s natural heritage. The narrative is accompanied by striking photographs and detailed descriptions that highlight both the grandeur and the fragility of these environments.

More than just a travelogue, Wild Places of Zimbabwe is a passionate tribute to the land and its ecosystems. It serves as both an informative guide and an urgent call to preserve the country’s remaining wilderness. Ideal for nature lovers, conservationists, and anyone with an interest in southern Africa’s natural landscapes, this book offers a deep appreciation of the untamed spirit of Zimbabwe.
