Travel reviews by Mr T & Mr L - New York

Great trip. Pretty much faultless

On this trip, I visited Zimbabwe between 29-May-2012 and 4-Jun-2012 and I travelled with 4 other people.

Loved the trip. Reminded me how much I like Hwange which was looking great and almost empty of other people (which was lovely for us but not so good for the Zimbabwe economy). Loved the flexibility and guiding at Camp Hwange and plan to return and perhaps do some more walking too.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Keep on doing what you're doing.

Great Trip

On this trip, I visited Zambia between 15-Aug-2011 and 27-Aug-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.

we were in the bush for 12 days and wondered whether this was too long. It wasn't!

The combination of bush walking (Zebra Plains), vehicle based (Tafika) and water based (Old Mondoro worked really well and we saw some great game. It did seem that some of the game denisty had dropped since our last visit to Zambia in 2003 but we were glad to be back.

As usual Maruska was a star; patient and helpful in knitting together a perfect trip at short (4 weeks) notice.

We loved it

On this trip, I visited Botswana & Zimbabwe between 28-Jun-2010 and 9-Jul-2010 and I travelled with 1 other person.

We had an amazing trip; we've been to Southern Africa many times before and this was one of the best trips we've made.

We took in some football and then fled the vuvuzelas (which we actually quite liked) for Botswana and Zimbabwe. Maruska was outstanding and as usual Chris knew his stuff!
