"This was an amazing trip, delivering everything we asked for and more. Each camp we stayed at was brilliant, the staff in each camp made it for us.
The guides at each of the camps were very knowledgeable about the local area, it's history and the wildlife. We visited a school, orphanage and a homestead whilst staying in the Matobo National Park which was very humbling and joined the anti poaching team at Hwange.
Lots of thoughtful touches at each of the camps. The organisation of the trip was seamless.
Just a big thank you for making this so special and we will be back."

"Fantastic location right in front of the waterhole. We saw 250+ elephant on our first afternoon there.
The hide and the viewing platform allow you to while away the hours watching an ever changing landscape."

"Beautiful tented camp. Every facility that you could need.
The elephants visited us every night. No fences allow the animals to get up close.
Staff were lovely and couldn't have been more helpful."
