Zimbabwe is now the second most preferred destination for family oriented safaris after South Africa on the continent, according to a report released by global research firm, Euromonitor International.
South Africa remains the main destination for the family oriented safaris.
This is because the southern part of the country is free from malaria.
Other countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia are also coming up with the child-friendly options.
The report identified Zimbabwe as the second top destination for safari travellers in 2012, followed by Botswana.
Euromonitor International noted that tourism in Africa was now shifting from the dependency on the traditional markets of US and Europe.
