Zimbabwe: reviews from our travellers

"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

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at each venue, and felt that the set up was very much to our liking.

Would do it again in a minute!

"We waited a long time to do this trip and it turned out to be very nearly as good as we hoped.

As in life in general, there were ups and downs - Bumi Hills was a massive surprise in a good way and Nyamatusi/ Mana Pools was a disappointment.

Overall we enjoyed it hugely and it was really nice to be back in Africa again." 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!

"We had an excellent overall experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.

It really paid off going to a number of different lodges to give us experiences in different environments where the animal life was varied.

"It was a trip of a lifetime. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and have great memories.

It was a long time coming as we booked pre-Covid and wondered if we would ever get there.

Expert Africa was instrumental in delivering this from the moment we contacted them to the fantastic planning mainly from Megan. She kept us up to date during Covid to when things were eventually opening up. Everything ran smoothly with no problems, especially flights and transfers.

I cannot thank them enough and would definitely recommend.

"I would certainly recommend the split stay between a camp on the river and one away from the river given the totally different landscape. A visit to Stretch's is highly recommended." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Our first trip to Zimbabwe and we will return to Zimbabwe at some future point." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We initially booked this trip with Expert Africa in late February/early March, 2020. Then Covid hit and the world went into lockdown. Maruska was our contact person from the start, making the reservations and setting up the itinerary for us.

We went through many ups and downs over the course of these two years, never sure if indeed the trip would materialize. Initially we postponed the September, 2020 trip to 2021, but it still did not seem wise to go then, so we postponed it to August/September, 2022. If we could have gotten most of our deposit returned, we would have cancelled the entire trip, with all of the continued worries and anxiety that Covid was inflicting on the world.

As Expert Africa has a firm policy of not returning deposits, we postponed the trip again to 2022. We are so glad we did! It all turned out fabulous, and thankfully, we remained healthy.

Throughout this long postponement, with the changes involved, Maruska was always exceedingly polite, understanding, and respectful of our worries and concerns. She did an extraordinary job arranging our trip, which involved four different countries, multiple flights, and many different camps.

The organization was outstanding and everything was seamless.

Truly incredible attention to detail. Thank you.
