"Excellent trip all round"
I visited Zimbabwe between 24 Sep 2019 and 6 Oct 2019
"The trip was very well organised. All the transfers worked seamlessly and there was plenty of time to do everything we wanted to. It was supposed to be a wild, adventurous, luxurious safari and trip to the falls and that is what we got."

"Vic Falls, Hwange and Motobos Sept 19"
I visited Zimbabwe between 18 Sep 2019 and 1 Oct 2019
"Truly a holiday of a lifetime. Excellent programme put together by Freddie Sutton and Tom Morris, with a range of experiences from colonial splendour in the Vic Falls Hotel, to the ultimate bush camp experience at Hwange Bush Camp and the startling architectural wonder in a stunning location at Amalinda in the Motobos.
Expert Africa are very much the experts - highly recommended." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Zimbabwe trip"
I visited Zimbabwe between 16 Sep 2019 and 30 Sep 2019
"Everything worked out well. We started with the simplest accommodation and worked our way up as far as comfort and luxury of the camps were concerned.
Only Imvelo camps don't yet use refillable water bottles which you can either take home or return at the end of your stay.
Malcolm Lodge in Harare is also a lovely place to stay and very up to date - they knew about a flight problem we had before we did.
The transfer from Hwange Main Camp to Vic Falls arrived 30 minutes late - he was 'delayed' but we suspect the delay was visiting his home village on the way to collect us, which meant that the 2 guides who had brought us there from Somalisa had and extra wait."

"My Sep 2019 trip"
I visited Zimbabwe between 6 Sep 2019 and 22 Sep 2019
"It was an excellent trip. We were more interested in behaviours and walking than in counting animals, so sorry for not filling in those details.
Amalinda promised a lot, but fell short on delivery. Verneys has too many elephants fighting for not much water, but the camp design and massive family tents were impressive.
Vundu is a class act with beautiful surroundings and a very well run camp." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zimbabwe safari

"August 2019 - exceeded all expectations"
I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 29 Aug 2019 and 16 Sep 2019
"We loved ever second of our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe.
The game viewing in both countries vastly exceeded all expectations, with Chobe providing some very special highlights, while Hwange gave us a real sense of the space, variety and beauty Zimbabwe has to offer. The Matopos were also a great way to finish, giving us time to relax and really enjoy a beautiful landscape. We couldn't be happier with the schedule you suggested - just perfect!
Many thanks for all your guidance, support and help - so very much appreciated!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari
