The Experience of Lifetime
5/5

My nine days with African Beast Safaris and its founder, Simon, were the most beautiful and profound travel experiences of my life. Simon is not only a very personable, friendly, and fun person to be with, but he’s also well-organized and quick in solving challenges and making well-informed decisions. His choices of local guides were perfect. All the men who took me through my nine-day journey were fantastic and knowledgeable. They knew the history of the land and the nature surrounding it well. Traveling as a single woman, I felt safe and well cared for.

Simon picked me up from the Victoria Falls airport. He took me to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, where I stayed for three nights. I took the sunset cruise on the Zambezi River while watching hippo families floating in the river and crocodiles resting on the banks. The following two days I spent on a safari and hiking along the impressive Victoria Falls. I also learned from my guide about the various rituals of the Tonga people who reside in the surroundings of the Falls. Three days later, Simon drove me with expertise through the expressway full of holes to Hwange National Park, where I stayed for two nights at Geango Heritage Resort. I spent two days on Safaris, seeing many animals, including elephants, hyenas, lions, painted dogs, giraffes, zebras, elephants, wildebeests, and many kinds of other antelopes, learning from my guides about the animals and their habits. The last three nights I spent at Matobo Hill, first at Big Cave Camp and Larer at Matobo Hill Lodge. . OMG, this landscape is not to be believed! The granite mountains were created 2 billion years ago, and since then, time has corroded them and turned them into beautiful abstract sculptures I have to say that nature is the most creative artist. The Bushmen living there in the past were artists, too. Many caves are filled with rock art that may be up to 18 thousand years old. I took hikes to two of them. On the way, we were fortunate to encounter white rhinos. We also stopped at small settlements and talked to the residents. My guides spoke all the local languages. The caves with the rock art are a spiritual experience that is almost impossible to describe in words. One has to be there to feel and experience the profound beauty of art and time.

Simon created an exquisite trip for me. The people I met on the way were kind, generous, and knowledgeable. I wish all my friends could book a journey guided by Simon and African Beast Safaris. It was that good!
