Trip to Zimbabwe June 2014

Zimbabwe between 23 Jun 2014 and 7 Jul 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"Everything worked seamlessly.

One problem:

The telephone numbers we were given in Harare to contact the air charter to check flight time were either "no incoming calls answered" or unobtainable. Our cousin knew a private lodge operator in Mana, contacted his business partner in Harare who knew the air charter person whom we contacted. She took our details and in fact contacted the lodge to ask them to convey an earlier flight time to us which they did by sending a vehicle to find us and tell us."

A trip of a lifetime

Tanzania between 15 Sep 2013 and 25 Sep 2013

Trip rating: Excellent
"The trip was executed exactly as planned, with no hitches or delays so that we had nothing to worry about as the days went by.

It was extremely well organised and we enjoyed it immensely"

Impala Camp

Impala Camp

"Selous Impala Camp on foot, river boat or veh"

4 nights Arrived 16 Sep 2013
"The high professionalism of the staff & the ability to cater to all our needs made our stay in this camp first class. All the staff made every effort to make us feel special.

Our guide Dennis & our waiter David adapted themselves to our wildlife special interests and mealtime needs. Barbara and her camp managers organize the camp superbly in a very subtle way.

The camp strikes a balance between over luxurious and basic bush camp in a harmonious way."

Mdonya Old River Camp

Mdonya Old River Camp

"Mdonya Old River Camp; a flavor of the past"

3 nights Arrived 20 Sep 2013
"This camp is located in the heart of the bush, has an open aspect which enables you to watch animals from your open tent deck. It has the feel of a bush camp from times past, but with modern touches: solar panel hot water, electric fan, flush toilet and battery charging in the office. The food is excellent, all seated together at a long table. The camp is a pleasure to experience.

The best game drives are up to 2 hours away along the Ruaha River when you are out all day with lunch provided. This may well happen immediately after arrival at the airport, which is in the same location. If this happens you may get back to the camp on your first day as darkness falls, making it difficult to settle in, lit by hurricane lamp, candles and torch, like the good old days. We were not fully informed at the outset about this plan, which gradually emerged, giving us little choice. This camp is in a National Park, so no bush walks allowed.

Our guide Fadhili and driver Ayubu were absolutely excellent, enabling us to enjoy every aspect of the environment especially our interest in birds. Nothing was too much trouble for them."

Ras Kutani

Ras Kutani

"Ras Kutani: perfect paradise"

2 nights Arrived 23 Sep 2013
"This gorgeous place situated along the beach front, next to a fresh water lagoon separated from the ocean by a sand bar, is just the place to relax and refresh after days in the bush.

The decor is most attractive, the food and facilities excellent, and we found it the perfect paradise. The service is friendly and first class, and the manager and assistants delightful."
