Namibia and Zimbabwe Tours and Trips

This tour is full on, early mornings, a lot of travelling, not much exercise and lots of good food. We had a lovely group of fellow travellers and great tour guide. The country is beautiful, an ever changing landscape as you drive. The game drives were my highlight but others in the group said the sand dunes or the activity at Walvis Bay. Not relaxing but a brilliant holiday seeing a completely different county in landscape and culture.

This was an amazing experience and its memories will live with us for years to come. Very well looked after by the the team whose care, passion and professionalism contributed to the complete success of the trip from Chobe to Okavango Delta, from Matopos to Hwange and finally to the majestic Victoria Falls

This trip could not have been better. Everything was meticulously planned and flawlessly implemented, the lodgings were beautiful, and the itinerary was just what I wanted: wildlife-centered. The safari guides were truly super-human in their ability to track and find the animals. They seemed to communicate with them and read their moods, all the while talking quietly to us about the animals' diet, behavior, habits, and lifespans. Because we covered some long distances, we were able to see a lot of the countryside of Botswana and Zimbabwe, and we got to go to places that I couldn't have gotten to on my own. It was a all-around superb trip.

This was a fascinating trip with a carefully planned itinerary and a very knowledgeable guide. The Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park provided marvellous wildlife viewing and we saw, amongst others, leopard, lions, elephants, painted dogs, zebra, crocs, hippos, many types of antelope and a big range of birds. The accommodation was excellent in variety, character and quality. We were always skillfully looked after by our guide Phenyo. His skill in finding and tracking wildlife was really impressive.

*The good: - Trip manager was great and planned the schedule well - with sufficient time given at the attractions/ sites. - Add-ons such as game drives, rafting, swing was highlight for me personally. - Cape town had the best accoms (don't set expectations too high based on the first nights) But otherwise the rest of the nights were generally good/ comfortable. - Loved the trip overall! *The to-note (personal views/ just for reference): - Be prepared for no proper toilet facilities in chobe special stay. No proper toilet. No electricity. No shower facilities. - There are many activities which require add-on costs, and need to budget quite a lot for them. That said, if you choose not to do the add-on activity, you’re pretty much wasting the time as there is usually nothing much else to do in the area, and will be waiting for the others to complete those activities. Charges for the activities were in ZAR, rather than USD. So there were some price discrepancies. - Personally felt that vineyard wines were not great (but then u’ll be sitting at the vineyard anyway); while the traditional african feast dinner in kruger and penguin experience in boulder’s were not worth it. - Depending on the season, you may end up visiting 4 countries (incl Zambia) instead of 3. Check in advance if u should get insurance/ data for the country (or prep extra $ for VISA entry to Zimbabwe - since there’ll additional entry back to Zim). - Some places are sandy to walk in/ requires quite a big hike - prep proper hiking shoes/ sandles. - Many (very) early mornings.

The whole trip was fantastic! the first 2 weeks with *personal info removed by Feefo* were great! super knowledgeable about the animals and overall a fun guy. Often in Namibia was wonderful and very personable with our small group!
