Reviews of safaris to Matobo National Park

"This was an amazing trip, delivering everything we asked for and more. Each camp we stayed at was brilliant, the staff in each camp made it for us.

The guides at each of the camps were very knowledgeable about the local area, it's history and the wildlife. We visited a school, orphanage and a homestead whilst staying in the Matobo National Park which was very humbling and joined the anti poaching team at Hwange.

Lots of thoughtful touches at each of the camps. The organisation of the trip was seamless.

Just a big thank you for making this so special and we will be back." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"At last after 2 years of cancellations and delays we made it!
Wonderful trip for 6 close friends, thank you Tom for all the arrangements and advice.
Great decision to have 2 game lodges with a slightly different experience separating them.
We loved Zimbabwe and felt totally safe travelling there." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"This was a trip of a lifetime, made possible by careful and thoughtful planning by Tom.
We would have not experienced something like this if Tom had not made my wife and I extremely confident about the expertise of Expert Africa, and they exceeded our expectations beyond imagination.
Tom and Expert Africa would be my first choice for any trip like this in the future." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"This was a wonderful trip and delighted we went. We had no concerns at any point about safety. We were greeted with such appreciation from everyone we met and all went out of their way to make our stay as memorable as possible.

I am especially grateful to Megan who pulled the trip together at relatively short notice!

No, everything was very efficiently organised and happened as we had been informed." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We decided to go to Africa a little late in the day, to be honest, which limited our options somewhat. But I called Expert Africa at the recommendation of a friend who had travelled with them and immediately felt that Tom was realistic yet optimistic that we could make a great holiday.

I knew pretty much where we wanted to go but he pieced it all together beautifully and when we got Zimbabwe, everything worked like clockwork. I couldn't fault any of the process, from first conversation, through our holiday and back home.

Zimbabwe was wonderful; varied, fascinating and so full of smiling, enthusiastic locals. There is so much to do here in such contrasting landscapes, it makes for a great holiday, especially with kids who don't want to drive around looking for animals for too many days at a time. Vic Falls is stunning and has ample opportunity to scare and delight,

Matobo is beautiful, especially with the evening sun on the rocks, and Hwange is a great safari destination that feels somehow quite intimate without the hoards of safari vehicles you get in other parks. All in all an amazing holiday!

Thank you!

You were great! Especially since Tom went off on a trip just as we were tying things up, but others jumped in and sorted the final bits so I felt well supported. And good to talk to Tom on his return too!

Many thanks." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"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

"A fantastic 2 week trip.

Hardly another vehicle to be seen whilst on safari, great wildlife sightings, excellent accommodation and superb guides." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zimbabwe safari

"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

"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; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We have been to Africa before with Expert Africa and we knew what we wanted to see this time.

We then spent a long time with Richard Trillo and his team discussing options and then left it to him to put together an extended trip to hopefully tick all the boxes on our wish list.

ALL BOXES TICKED, this was a fantastic journey through 5 African countries, we have seen and experienced so much, so a VERY BIG THANK YOU to Expert Africa for arranging this for us.

No, just carry on doing what you're doing now - it would be very hard to improve what you're already doing so well." Read full review: 44 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari
