Have the total safari experience
Everyone takes something different away from a safari to Africa, even those on exactly the same safari. So being open to new experiences and being able to enjoy whatever the day brings with no pre-determined expectations will certainly enhance your adventure and make each day more exciting than the last. You never know what is around the next corner, expect the unexpected when you are out on safari. Remember that even the smallest of creatures can influence a whole habitat that allows the big creatures to survive in that area, so take it all in and you will get much more bang for your buck.
Taylor-made safaris
Understanding what you are hoping to get from your safari is a good starting point in designing the right itinerary to suit you. This may be a specific species or type of safari activity that you are wanting to do – if walking in the bush with your guide is important to you then we will get you to the right areas where this is possible – the cookie cutter safari plan is not our style. We want to design the right safari for you and create lifelong memories.
Who are you travelling with?
In designing a safari understanding the answer to this question is crucial. Is it a solo adventure to climb one of Africa’s peaks, a honeymoon safari or a full family getaway with multiple generations? Knowing this will make sure everyone gets what they hope for from the adventure.
Generations on Safari
Taking your family on safari will be a memory that you will all never forget, but be prepared to be doing this more times than you thought. I often get asked is it safe for kids to come on safari or will they appreciate it. I can assure you that virtually without exception the kids I have taken on safari have absorbed and taken more from the experience than the parents and as long as your kids are okay with following some basic rules they will be perfectly safe, I would suggest that any time from 5 years old and up is good for you to consider a family safari and a great adventure for you all to remember.
When you go, go safely!
People have some pre-conceived ideas of what travel in Africa is like, not helped by virtually the only coverage seen in Western media of Africa is all about war and chaos. When you get here you will see a different side to Africa that is welcoming and people that are genuinely concerned with making sure you have a safe and enjoyable time in their country. The companies that we work with are professional at what they do so making sure you get to the right place safely is a top priority for us and them.
Let us take care of it
Making sure that all the moving parts of your safari are done properly and at the right time is a key element for us in making sure you have a carefree safari experience, so while you focus on the wildlife and scenery, we will be looking out for the details behind the scenes.
Accomodation
Luxury Lodges
Luxury Lodges are generally constructed using bricks and have either thatch or metal roofs and would have a main central dining room and bar with a pool area, probably a spa/gym facility. The rooms in most cases would be separate buildings away from the main complex and typically have private views with their own balconies. They would be air conditioned and have bath, shower and toilet en-suite and sometimes this is duplicated outside the room for that private bath under the stars. The catering is of a very high standard and most diets will be catered for if notice is given of this.

No, you cannot, this is only available in designated areas within Mana Pools National Park after paying for a special permit and signing a disclaimer. We do not recommend doing this, you will have a much better experience being accompanied by a trained professional safari guide familiar with the area. Licensed professional guides working for a registered operator are allowed to take you for walks anywhere within the National Parks. What currency is used in Zimbabwe? The currency in Zimbabwe is the Zimbabwean Dollar. In tourist areas most transactions are quoted and done in US Dollars with South African Rand also possible. What time zone is Zimbabwe in?

Yes, but only really in the main cities or tourist areas like Victoria Falls with Visa and Mastercard the most widely accepted. To buy curios or paying for camp extras like National Parks Fees it is better to have actual cash. What power sockets are used in Zimbabwe? In the cities and safari camps Zimbabwe uses 220V power points in the camps mostly using Type G plugs. If you have an item that runs on 110V, please bring a converter. It is also advisable to bring additional universal travel adaptors and extra batteries.
