"My Aug 2023 trip"

I visited Zimbabwe between 25 Aug 2023 and 4 Sep 2023
"I loved Zimbabwe and we had a superb safari with great accommodation and animal viewings. Everything was seamless.

My son and I had the luxury of our own guide and jeep for most of our outings. We found the more experienced guides to be the best and most enthusiastic.

I have used Expert Africa for quite a few safari trips and each has been superb." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Zimbabwe July/August 2023"

I visited Zimbabwe between 24 Jul 2023 and 7 Aug 2023
"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." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari
