Awesome guide, great tours & bird watching
In early March, we scheduled 3 activities with Savannah Southern Safaris: two half-day bird watching walks, and a half-day nature walk into Mosi-oa-Tunya with the possibility of seeing white rhinos (which we did - take the afternoon walk, since they know where the rhinos are from the morning!). Our guide, Chiinga, was perhaps the best guide we had during our 3 weeks in Africa. What made him so special was a deep passion for nature that went beyond his job - this guy is for real. He loves birds with his heart, and loves sharing and showing. He was funny, fun, and possesses an unusual balance of being relaxed yet intensely engaged with the wildlife. As a birdwatcher, I felt it was more like being out in the field with an expert friend than being on a guided activity. If you go birding with Chiinga, DO NOT MISS the Livingstone sewage treatment ponds. Doesn't sound like much, but it's a twitcher's paradise with species I never saw anywhere else. The only reason Savannah Southern doesn't get 5 ***** is the difficulty paying for the trip - their credit card reader doesn't work well, and we left Africa owing them $$ which we are still trying to figure out how to pay. You may need to pay cash for your trip. In our experience, it is well worth the effort.

Different perspective.
Savannah Southern Safaris provides a relaxed and informative walking tour through the eastern section of the Mosi-au-Tunya National Park in Zambia. Although the park is small we were able to view Impala, Buffalo and Rhino on foot and therefore a more natural perspective. The guides provided a well presented feast of information on the local vegetation, birdlife, the wildlife encountered and the spoor trails they leave. This Safari is well worth it for anyone who likes to experience the landscape on foot and learn about it along the way.
