Unforgettable and fantastic trip - better than everything we could ever have imagined!
We've participated in a 12-Day Hwange and Mana Pools Parks safari trip with Mike Scott and his partner Bernard. We’ve spent 12 absolutely amazing and outstanding days in Hwange and Mana Pools: Tent camping (with camp cots, mattresses, duvets and pillows) with all imaginable amenities (from Birchermüesli and Nutella to excellently constructed bush shower/toilet) at really remote camping sites - particularly Chitake Spring Camp 3 and Croton Camp in Mana Pools were in complete wilderness; the first Mandavu picnic site camp in Hwange to a lesser degree - with only very few people but lots of game…! The mix of walking safaris and drive safaris was adjusted to the guests wish. To get an idea for interested visitors – here is the link for a video a former guest has uploaded: http://youtu.be/sfvT23_t7J8.
Mike Scott, a licensed tour operator, and Bernard who speaks various local languages including Ndebele, Shona and Chitonga were an excellent, super-friendly and very competent team. If inquiries are done in time, one can tailor one’s safari (duration, parks, remoteness etc.) completely.
We can absolutely recommend Khangela Safari to everybody wishing to visit beautiful Zimbabwe and to observe (and to walk into...) impalas, elephants, birds, hippos, leopards, giraffes, lions etc. The unique landscape combined with this fantastic team is an unforgettable experience in all respects.
We're already looking forward to coming back, not only but also for watching the spectacular sunsets while enjoying a cool lion beer under a majestic baobab :-)
Thank you, ngiyabonga, merci vylmol/vöumau!

Fantastic walking safari trip
In June we had a trip with a Mike. He is very friendly and wants to do everything for his guests. We stayed 6 nights camping in Hwange, 4 nights in Mana Pools and 2 nights in Matopos. Apart from the wildlife it was a very relaxed experience. We just did the walks and game drives and everything else was done by the guide, the tracker and the cook.
Our tracker was superb. He found lions on several occasions. We could watch them from a close distance during walking safaris.

Zimbabwe! 2 weeks, 3 parks: lizards, lions, camping, walking, learning, laughing!
My 3rd time in Zim with Mike & Bernard of Khangela Safaris. These guys never disappoint! Nobody can find a lion like Bernard can! Between the driving, the walking, the cooking and the tracking of animals, every trip with Khangela brings me back to life when I have had too much of the modern world. I sleep better in those tents and on those mattresses than anywhere else. The food was fabulous (and I am a vegan), the company was great fun and we saw giraffes, ground horn bills, lions and more lions, cave paintings, elephants all over the place, and buffalo (on cue). My personal highlight?: I had a wonderful hike over the summit of a lichen-covered whale-back at sunset in the boulder-filled splendor of Matopos park which I will never forget! Bernard works magic, Mike is organized and tirelessly funny. A creative, functional low-impact camp set-up which is a joy to wake up in and return back to daily. I'll be back.

Unforgettable
Totally tailored to what we wanted, brilliant trip- we don't have a single negative comment except we wish it could have gone on for longer! An absolute trip of a lifetime, would recommend Khangela Safaris to everyone looking to have a unique African Safari.

A wunderful experience: less luxury, more nature.
The tour guide is a very experienced man. Hes still accompained from his colleague since many years. The two men are very motivated to let the guest see and know everything which is possible: "reading" the nature and animals, explaining background, changements, developments. They have a lot of patiences, can specially for those who love wait, who have enough time, who like to search and to oserve the animals for more than just a few minutes. With Kangela Safaris there is no rushing around in the bush: there is Quality instead of quantity. Khangela Safaris is a Partner for People who like to come very close to nature and animals by all their senses, for people who like to walk. We loved the comfortable Camping in the bush right next to the waterwhole with the lovely selfmade meals on the fire, the beautiful evenings with storytelling... and linstening to the Sound of the animal.
