My Sep 2019 trip
Zimbabwe between 6 Sep 2019 and 22 Sep 2019
"It was an excellent trip. We were more interested in behaviours and walking than in counting animals, so sorry for not filling in those details.
Amalinda promised a lot, but fell short on delivery. Verneys has too many elephants fighting for not much water, but the camp design and massive family tents were impressive.
Vundu is a class act with beautiful surroundings and a very well run camp."

"Very good service at camp.
Walking safari opportunity was poor due to the huge number of elephants. Extremely noisy at night with a 100 elephants outside."

"An authentic experience. Des was a wonderful hostess and Mitchell Riley an absolutely excellent guide.
The wild dog experience is in danger of being over hyped, as they are not easy to see even close to the den.
But there is plenty of other wildlife and great area for walking. Scenically beautiful."

"Not an ideal trip due to extensive fires in the park, meaning we could not safely visit the caves.
Seeing rhino is dependant on finding the rangers who know where they are.
We wasted time while the guide disappeared looking for them to no avail - this was not atypical of having a well meaning guide, but who did not listen properly to our wishes."
