Review about Gonarezhou National Park by Luke Brown
Gonarezhou is a place for the true bush lover. The wilderness here is seriously untouched and as such remains the Africa of old. It is in a remote corner of the country and was neglected by visitors for a period as a result, but in recent times it has received big investments from international donors. This support along with the fact that it is now part of a transfrontier park, that stretches into South Africa and Mozambique, means that it is Zimbabwe's awakening safari giant. Game sightings here may not be as good as Mana Pools or Hwange right now, but they are improving all the time and will be on a par with those parks very soon.

Beyond any expectations.
The trip to the Serengeti National Park was exceptionally nice. Our tour operator Lion King Adventures created a very nice itinerary for us and our guide, Peter, was very knowledgeable and persistent in finding all the interesting animal sightings. The tented camps were extraordinary in providing comfort and good food. The service was exceptional.
Unfortunately, there was one unpleasant moment when my husband was cheated while buying a souvenir in a Masaai village.
Otherwise, the trip was beyond our wildest expectations.
Thank you , Lion King Adventures and Peter.
A fantastic destination for your safari.
Just got back from 2 weeks in this fantastic country. Had a week on safari in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and a week at the beach in Diani
The safari was all we could have wished for. Jockey Tours provided us with a fantastic trip. We saw every animal there was to see here even though the Black Rhino was proving to be a little elusive we eventually found it.
After the safari we got a flight and headed to the beach. Was a lovely unspoilt beach. Beautiful soft white sand. Not too much hassle on the beach. After a friendly chat you could buy something or not whatever you wanted to do.
I will definitely be returning to Kenya. A fantastic destination and such friendly people.

Mana Magic!
Mana Pools is one Africa's most magical wilderness areas. It is a United Nations World Heritage Site for good reason. Here the Zambezi river gives life to an incredible diversity of flora and fauna, all of which rely on one another to maintain a healthy and diverse ecosystem. The tall Acacia albida trees that line the river provide much needed shade from the hot sun and their apple ring shaped pods, rich in protein, are highly sought after by elephants, who will even stand on their hind legs to reach them, a truly amazing site to behold! Wild dogs exist here in large packs, lions and leopards are abundant as are big herds of buffalo. The river is home to an incredible density of hippos that create a cacophony of sound, which lulls you to sleep at night a midst the haunting laugh of the spotted hyenas. Mana Pools is typically only accessible during the dry months of the year i.e. April to October. It is possible to get in by air, road and also on the river. Zimbabwean air charter companies have light aircraft that can access Mana Main, Dandawa or Chikwenya airstrips all within the vicinity of the national park. There is a dirt road into Mana Pools from the main Makuti-Chirundu tar road. Depending on whether this has been graded or not will determine how long this section takes. If it has not been graded for a while then the trip can take up to 4 hours due to severe corrugations. It is advisable to travel this road in a 4x4. There are only one or two companies that offer road transfers. Most people that drive in are self drivers. It is possible to canoe the river with a reputable canoeing company. Trips range from a few days up to nearly two weeks and this is determined by the stretch of river you run between Kariba dam wall and Kanyemba. A popular stretch is the 4 day, 3 night canoe trip from Chirundu to Mana Pools. Mana Pools is in a remote area of the country, which has meant that it has remained pristine, adding to its already renowned fame for excellent game viewing. A visit to this park is a must for any African wildlife lover.

Well organized . Our wishes are realized. The book was incredibly convenient and a nice souvenir afterwards.

Wonderful for the whole family
We want to take this time and say thank you to Selous Exploerer for helping us create wonderful memories with our children in Tanzania. Our guide and driver Hassan was wonderful and very patient with our children. He was also a very careful and diligent driver. Our kids enjoyed his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and the nature surrounding the national park. As well as a story underneath the baobab tree.

The Tsavo experience indeed!!
This was a really thrilling trip for us. We had been to the Masai Mara before which was really exciting. We wanted a change, but was a little worried that Tsavo wouldn't live up to the Masai experience. How wrong we were! We had four of us in a jeep with a driver called Sam. He was a friendly chap and so knowledgable like most of these drivers are. They are in radio contact with other drivers as well, so even more eyes to help when an interesting sighting occurs. It was a real jeep safari just as you would expect. We drove alongside all of the usual animals and really felt part of them, we were that close. The weather was fabulous, very warm and clear blue sky with breathtaking scenery. Having said that, wet weather would not have put us off going. We have had some really exciting safaris charging through mud puddles in pursuit of rhino! Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer but we met wonderful people and we left with wonderful photographs, wonderful video and wonderful memories.

fantastic tailormade trip
We stayed in Moremi crossing, Pom Pom Camp, Chobe safari Lodge and the Waterfront in Vic falls in Zambia. We had a great trip and enjoyed the little camps in the Okavango Delta. Professional teams and excellent service, and very impressed by the knowledge of the guides. Chobe maybe a little to big for us but enjoyed the view from our room and the boat cruise was stunning. The Gondwana team were very quick in responding to any queries and prepared this tailor made trip very quick. Their excellent knowledge of Botswana and the camps is unique.
I recommend using Gondwana Tours & Safaris!
