Unforgettable experience in a country so far unspoilt by mass tourism
In the south of the country, near the border with Zimbabwe, lies Mosi-oa-Tunga National Park, near to Zambia's biggest tourist attraction, the Victoria Falls. The wildlife includes giraffes, zebra, warthogs, elephants, antelope and a variety of smaller animals. At the time of our party's visit (mid-July) it was a relatively dry season with temperatures in the mid-20s), making the park's environment and ambiance exactly as one would picture a safari park - parched scrubland and bright blue skies. The park is not necessarily hugely extensive, yet the animals within its limits are something definitely worth seeing, especially the birds on the banks of the Zambezi River which flows through the park. However, the most unforgettable experience of visiting this beautiful area was an opportunity to see the last remaining white rhino in Zambia, the only one having not been poached in the country.
After a fantastic day in the park, we stopped on our journey back towards our accommodation to see a herd of elephants, outside the park underneath a road bridge. The impression which we were left with was that it was not only the park which offered a host of wildlife watching opportunities, but the wider area was a simply fantastic place to immerse oneself in a safari environment. I would say it is imperative to visit Mosi-oa-Tunga because tourism revenue will encourage conservation efforts in the area and further improve the safari experience, providing money does not go to spoil the unspoilt and genuine atmosphere which makes this area so wonderful.

Review about Uganda by John Morse
Uganda was a pleasant surprise. I was there for 2 weeks and it was amazing. It is definitely in the top 5 places I have been in the world with it's beautiful layout in Kampala (the view of the city from one of the many hills is incredible), to the wildlife of the Nile.
Review about Skeleton Coast National Park by Goulu
A dramatic place where you feel alone in the world.
Review about Etosha National Park by Goulu
Fantastic place full of wildlife, except lions (we didn't see any in 3 days). It's a place where lots of visitors drive their own car, so no "bush vibe". Halali Camp would definitely deserve a better service
Review about Namib-Naukluft National Park by Goulu
Scenery is breathtaking almost everywhere.
Rhinos and Hippos at Wabi Lodge
We stayed at Wabi Lodge. Their website contains a lot of useful information about the region and its progressive shift from game to eco tourism and wildlife conservation. Rooms are large and nicely furnished, with some reminders of the game period. (Cold) swimming.pool, good meals.
Safari with a very friendly and interesting local black chauffeur and guide, one of our very few constacts with black people in Namibia. He brings some food for the rhinos at the water hole, where we have a close encounter with a family of rhinos and two hippos, the only we saw in Namibia.
Review about Matobo National Park by milla.deet
I greatly enjoyed my stay but don't have much to compare it to
Zimbabwe is a fabulous adventure location with wonderful locals and wildlife.
I loved my safari experience in Zimbabwe. I visited Zim on a missions trip and at the end of our 3 week stay we went to a safari camp. Not only was it beautiful but the weather was perfect, cool at night, sunny and dry during the day. The food was incredible. A little something for everyone. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful country!
