My May 2022 trip

Zimbabwe between 4 May 2022 and 11 May 2022

Trip rating: Good
"Overall it was a wonderful experience.

Claire steered us well in picking Ilala and Davisons...we were welcomed everywhere, particularly after a tough couple of years. We heard from other travellers of their experiences at other areas, and certainly we would like to explore these in due course."

Ilala Lodge

Ilala Lodge

"A wonderful stay"

3 nights Arrived 4 May 2022
"Everything about Ilala was first rate, from the moment we arrived, to the service, the comfort, the food the ambience.

The fact that it is the closest hotel to Vic Falls was a bonus."

Ra-Ikane River Cruise

Ra-Ikane River Cruise

"Ra-Ikane River Cruise review"

5 May 2022 • Afternoon excursion

Very professional.

Our guide certainly knew his way along the river, and we were able to see a wide variety of wildlife while his colleague took care of the bar and snacks.

Capped with a gorgeous sunset, a wonderful way to spend an evening!!

Davison's Camp

Davison's Camp

"Davison's Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 7 May 2022
"Very comfortable, very professional. Excellent guide.

The waterhole experience was disappointing compared to other camps that we have visited...the large natural hole was too far away to see much, and there was a small concrete hole nearer which were visited by some elephants and baboons. The location of the camp meant a long bumpy drive just to get to an area where we could see wildlife, and often the pickings were rather slim. That said, we had a wonderful view of lions and their cubs, and even followed a leopard along the track.

Only comment about accommodation was the location of the toilet within the tent which afforded absolutely no privacy. There was a separate toilet location next to the main building, but of course one is restricted to one's tent during the dark hours."
