My Mar 2025 trip

Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 2 Mar 2025 and 26 Mar 2025

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our trip was special. Everything exceeded expectations, travel was seamless and very well organized.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really. One thing we would have taken had we known was our gators for the walking safaris as `stuff` really gets into your shoes and socks."

Camp Hwange

Camp Hwange

"Camp Hwange review"

3 nights Arrived 17 Mar 2025
"Camp Hwange has a private concession within Hwange NP. This is secluded, we did not see other vehicles which was a bonus. Guiding was top notch (Rob); pro guides in Zimbabwe the best trained in Africa. We especially enjoyed the walking safari. Camp staff also excellent & responsive to our every need, lovely special `sundowner` on our last day. Food very good and huge portions. Tents well appointed and comfortable. Many elephants, special first day walking `approach` thanks Rob! Large jackal population, also variety of antelope and many different birds; ticked off the Secretary bird from our list."

"Karangoma review"

4 nights Arrived 20 Mar 2025
"Spectacular new secluded camp in the NE Delta. The helicopter in and out a special treat. Attention to detail here excellent, top notch finishes in the rooms, food quality presentation and selection could not be better. Guiding very good (Lets), his range of knowledge amazing especially identifying and replicating bird calls. Camp staff are superb, loved the welcome singing and so attentive to anything we might need. Enjoyed the boat safari and Mokoro, also did walking safari. Many elephants, hippo and different antelope. Also ostrich, many birds & frogs."

Great African adventure with Expert Africa.

Tanzania between 23 Jan 2012 and 11 Feb 2012

Trip rating: Excellent
"With hindsight would have cut out Impala & added extra time to Manze & especially Kwihala.
Really pleased we finished up at Pole Pole as it was very good & relaxing.

But really no regretts, we had a fabulous time - many thanks.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Paypal please for Noth American travellers.

Paying for alcohol & juice is annoying/inconvenient - when you are getting up early & going `till late, is anyone really going to abuse the bar? So, offer the option to prepay/include drinks.

Re: Impala, we met another group there who were at Manze & their thoughts were similar."

Lake Manze Adventure Camp

Lake Manze Adventure Camp

"Great atmosphere & experience at Lake Manze"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jan 2012
"Really enjoyed our Lake Manze time, a great way to start our trip. Good, friendly guiding, great management(Sarah) & food. Liked the communal atmosphere, very relaxed & friendly - our kind of place.

Think the Safari boats would benefit with 4 stroke outboards - quieter & cleaner. By the way our boat guide, think it was Mbao, he was very good.

The guys went out of their way on the transfer to Impala to give us a great drive Safari.
Also would like the option of prepaying for drinks."

Impala Camp

Impala Camp

"More show than substance."

3 nights Arrived 26 Jan 2012
"Very well appointed camp, tents & facilities. Guiding & service also good. Staff service at times seemed forced rather that genuine.
Food bland, but presented & served with much panache. Overall the place a little `stuffy` for our taste.
Better game viewing from Lake Manze.

Like Lake Manze Camp, boats would benefit from 4 stroke motors & prepaid drink option would be good.
Enjoyed Andrea`s knowledge & fireside chats on the constellations.
The `bush breakfast` was a nice option."
