Zimbabwe: reviews from our travellers
Original reviews written by our most recent travellers to Zimbabwe
"Zimbabwe Aug 2024 trip"
"My Jul 2024 trip"
We complained at the time to Jay from Amalinda as they have very nice mini buses which would have made the journey more tolerable. Also, we were flexible with the dates of our trip so if flights had been available, we would have much preferred them." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari
"My Jul 2024 trip"
Tom from expert Africa was absolutely brilliant.
I have recommended him and the company to a few friends and would def use again.
Just need to have the opportunity to go to Africa again!!
I can't rave enough about my holiday. Once in a lifetime and I loved every single second." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zimbabwe safari
"Unforgettable July 2024 trip"
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Converting NZD to USD to pay for the trip was daunting - felt hugely expensive. Yes, we requested and planned a high end experience and were aware of the costs, but we definitely felt a big hit to the wallet. When you factor in that we were also giving healthy tips (as suggested, and we felt like with the great service we should do at least the "minimum") on top of the high room rate at each camp ... we felt it even more. Next time we might consider a mix of high vs medium range camps to save some money. Again, not to take away from an incredible trip planned together with Maruska ... thanks" Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
"My Jun 2024 trip"
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." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari
"My Jun 2024 trip"
Two different camp experiences but both fantastic and happy we experienced both. We were well cared for the entire trip and really there was nothing for us to do but enjoy ourselves.
Thank you to Tracy for her expertise in planning a fantastic trip of a lifetime!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

I would not return to the lodges that we stayed in in Zimbabwe, we didn't have a great experience there. There was a mix up with Khulu Bush Camp and our departure time was moved back and we were never told, that ended up being a very long day and we would have preferred to fly. Two of our travel days were very long and we never got to eat lunch, it was not clear from the itinerary how long they would be. Our Mack Air flights ended up having multiple stops that we weren't aware of, it would have been nice to have more information about those flights."

"Our amazing trip - WOW!"
We had the best holiday ever, everything about it from the booking, the flights and pick ups, the accommodations, food, animal experiences and staff - we cannot fault anything or anyone - just perfect.

"My Jun 2024 trip"
We did not encounter any difficulties before or during the trip, the information that was provided to us in advance was very useful.

We felt that what makes the experience really memorable are the guides working at camps.
Don't know if it's possible to have more details on this somewhere (could be also just the name/surname?)" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zimbabwe safari
"Trip of a lifetime was all we dreamed of!"
We had an unfortunate experience at one camp - perhaps it was just bad luck - and have delivered our feedback on this separately, for which Anton really listened to and understood our concerns.
Setting this camp side, our overall safari was incredibly good value for money, with all of our rooms extremely comfortable / luxurious, well fed and watered, and most importantly all of the wildlife sightings that we hoped to see. It will be a lot of fun going through our 1,500+ photos!! We will continue to rave in particular about Mma Dinare for years to come - cheetahs, leopard, hyena cubs, wild dogs, lions galore - amazing guide/tracker - just WOW!
Please do consider Expert Africa for your safari needs. They clearly have strong relationships with the camps we visited and we felt well looked after from our first enquiry through to detailed follow-up on our return home.
I am sure that we will be return clients for our next Africa adventures!

Not a suggestion but just an additional thank you to Anton. So grateful for all his support - all enquiries, big and small, were met with expertise and willingness to help.
Highly recommend him to anyone considering a Botswana safari!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
