My Jun 2024 trip

Zimbabwe and 2 other countries between 21 Jun 2024 and 4 Jul 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"Lucy was a great resource and very helpful in providing detailed information on the different parks and areas. We had a couple of zoom session and we worked together on setting up an itinerary.

Excellent trip from start to finish. Everything went like clockwork with no issues. We had our best sightings on this trip and managed to see wild dogs which was a lot of fun.

Very happy with the experience."

Mma Dinare

Mma Dinare

"Mma Dinare review"

3 nights Arrived 21 Jun 2024
"Very enjoyable stay at Mma Dinare. Staff was top notch from arrival to departure.

Great location on the delta as we watched the water come in and start flooding the area.

Edwin was a terrific tracker and we had some amazing wildlife sightings while there.

Most memorable sightings were 4 cheetah brothers who took down an impala on our first drive at the camp and seeing a pack of painted dogs with their cubs

Would happily go back"

Chobe Princesses

Chobe Princesses

"Chobe Princesses review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jun 2024
"Wonderful 2 nights on the Princess 2.

With 5 rooms on the houseboat, you'll easily get acquainted with everyone there. All the sightseeing is done by the tender and the houseboat is tied up most of the time. This will allow you to get very close to the animals and enjoy the scenery.

Seeing them from the water gives you a different perspective compared to the drives.

Meals are communal and are same for the group, portions were more than adequate. If you have any dietary requirements, it's imperative to make them know.

Friendly and attentive staff."

"The Hide review"

3 nights Arrived 26 Jun 2024
"Hwange is a fantastic park and the Hide was one of the best camps we've been to.

The camp has a resident hippo at their waterhole and at night you can get an excellent view of the elephants drinking at the waterhole. Room was very spacious with outdoor shower and a great view from the deck.

Meals were well prepared with excellent presentation. Dinners are communal where you have opportunity to chat with other guests."

Changa Safari Camp

Changa Safari Camp

"Changa Safari Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 29 Jun 2024
"Changa was a refreshing change for us with Lake Kariba in the background.

We opted to take advantage of the lake and did water safaris exploring the lake and the gorge.

In addition, we also did a nature walk with our guides and these activities were much more interesting and different from than the traditional game drives. Sunsets at Lake Kariba never got old.

Our rooms was large with both an indoor and outdoor shower and outdoor soaking tub.

Staff brought us morning tea/coffee to our room for wake-up call. Breakfast and lunch were in the dining area while dinner was usually set up in various areas by the beach, pool, or dinning area."

"Pioneers review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Jul 2024
"Excellent place to unwind after a long safari holiday.

Pioneer had lots of places where one can just relax and unwind, 2 pools, outdoor and indoor seating areas along with the outdoor restaurant. Loved the resident ducks there.

Good selection and food at breakfast although we weren't impressed with lunch at the bar.

Very attentive and helpful staff, especially the front desk."
