ZIMBABWE

HOME OF THE GREAT ZIMBABWE, KHAMI RUINS & THE MIGHTY VICTORIA FALLS

Touted as the adventure capital of Africa, Zimbabwe is one of those places on earth you simply have to experience for yourself. A culturally diverse country, with 16 official languages, the natural beauty to be found here is as varied as its people. The spectacular Victoria Falls, aptly known as the “Smoke that thunders” and a natural Wonder of the World, are truly impressive at 1.7kms wide and 100 metres high. Action enthusiasts will delight in wild activities including white water rafting, gorge swings, bungee jumping, canoeing, river boarding, and helicopter or microlight flights.

In stark contrast to the hive of activity found in the charming town of Vic Falls, the remoteness and tranquillity spanning the rest of the country is simply blissful. Lake Kariba, one of the largest manmade lakes in the world, is a great fishing destination where house boats are the way to unwind. The game rich Mana Pools National Park is something special, and is best discovered on a walking or canoeing safari – switching off and getting back to nature is the vibe here. Hwange National Park, the largest natural reserve in Zimbabwe, is home to a massive elephant population (in excess of 30,000) and also to an elusive predators – the endangered African Wild dog (estimated at 150 in Hwange). The Big Five can be found here, as well as over 400 bird species and abundant plains game.

Less visited but equally intriguing are the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the fascinating granite landforms of Matobo Hills (with prehistoric rock paintings) and Gonarezhou National Park with its spectacular Chilojo Cliffs.

When it comes to natural splendour and wonder, Zimbabwe has it all.

Our guide for the first part of the tour, Joseph Mutebi, was outstanding. In addition to being a very safe driver, he was very attentive to our needs and made us feel most welcome in Uganda from the first moment we stepped out of the airport arrivals hall. He has an exceptionally sharp eye for spotting birds (and other wildlife), and a keen ear for bird calls as well. He was very patient and proficient in helping us to locate and see what he had spotted, and he could identify the birds as quickly and accurately as the local guides (even with their specialized local knowledge). We had a nice birding rhythm and a great tour with Joseph, and we were very sorry when we had to say goodbye to him midway through our tour. We have travelled extensively in southern and eastern Africa, and we can honestly say that Joseph is one of the finest guides we have encountered.

I’m just back from a great trip to Botswana. We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were first class, the transports were seamless, and we saw a lot of animals. Thank you for all your work putting the itinerary together and making the reservations.

We want to thank you for the wonderful itinerary that you developed for us last week in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
We enjoyed each area and all that they had to offer. But, we had to admit that our favorite was Moremi Crossing. The people, food, accomodations and activities were delightful, personable and relaxing.
Again, many thanks for making our African experience so memorable.
Sincerely

Hi I just wanted to tell you that we stayed at your Serengeti Wilderness Camp, and it was just terrific. It was a great blend of simple and rustic, but still comfortable. Mostly, I wanted to compliment the staff. They were all very professional and saw to our every need. And highest marks must go to your amazing chef. I wish we could have stayed long enough to try every menu. If he opened a restaurant in Los Angeles, people would flock to it! So thank you so much! I have relatives planning to come to Tanzania in the fall- do you have your rates for that time set? It would be two couples in two separate tents.
Thanks so much!

It was nothing short of amazing. There was sooooooo much about the trip and country that amazed us, we were totally impressed. The serengeti lived up to it’s reputation for viewing and the crater – “WOW”!! – at one stage I turned to Syd and said “I think this is what the garden of Eden was like” it is definately one thing that should go on everyone’s bucket list.

Thank you for following up. We had a wonderful time on our safari! Our guide, John Lantara was excellent, the accommodations were great, and generally the food was quite good. They gave us far too much food, we were stuffed by the end. I’m surprised our flight from Serengeti could get off the ground 🙂
Best regards,
