Amazing.
From the moment we made a booking the service was at an amazing high level.
Daniel and his team a professionals in the African safari industry but at the same time they make it feel as if your traveling with some good old friends.
We saw the big 5 ......twice in four days! Amazing how the guys feel what the best spot would be. I highly recommend lilac for your safari trips.

Camping on the Salt Flats in Makgadikgadi
We stayed at Planet Baobab lodge near Gweta. Funky place, with great people. It's hard to believe that it is owned by the same group that owns Jack's Camp a few miles away. The best thing about camping on the salt pans is the TOTAL isolation. We never saw another person during the 30 hours we spent on the pans. And as the sun set, our shadows just kept getting longer.

Review about Zambezi National Park by Luke Brown
The Zambezi National Park lies upstream from Victoria Falls and runs in linear fashion along the edge of the Zambezi river for some 30-40km. It is a beautiful park and is home to elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and more. You will typically have a softer safari experience here than you would in Hwange, Gonarezhou or Mana Pools, but because it is close to Victoria Falls it is a popular spot for a game drive or boat cruise. Birding is also good here.

Review about Hwange National Park by Luke Brown
Hwange is Zimbabwe's biggest National Park and also its premier safari destination. It's proximity to Victoria Falls makes it accessible and popular to the international safari seeker. Hwange is home to all of the big five and sightings of large herds of elephant and buffalo are common, as are good viewings of lion, leopard and wild dogs. It is also a great place to see the amazing Sable antelope in some of their biggest numbers. The park has many waterholes that the wildlife likes to congregate around, especially during the afternoon heat. Hwange is largely flat country interspersed with grassland, teak and mopane tree forest. This park is not as spectacular in terms of scenic beauty as Gonarezhou, Matusadona and Mana Pools, but the abundance of game and birdlife more than make up for this.

Review about Victoria Falls by Luke Brown
Victoria Falls is Zimbabwe's and Africa's adventure capital and of course a natural world wonder. When you travel to southern Africa you simply have to see Victoria Falls. They are the largest continuously falling curtain of water in the world. To see them is incredible and you cannot help, but stop and stare at them for hours. There is plenty of flora and fauna in the rain forest area. Look out for the Trumpeter Hornbills flying overhead. In the nearby Zambezi National park you can see wild buffalo, elephants, hippos and more.

Review about Great Zimbabwe by Luke Brown
Great Zimbabwe is a United Nations Cultural World Heritage Site and has significant resonance with Zimbabwe's heritage. It is an amazing site to behold, being the largest ruined city in Africa, south of the pyramids. It is definitely worth a visit. Lake Mutirikwi National Park is close by, but this area is not a strong safari destination. The scenery is beautiful and the ruins are spectacular however.

Review about Nyanga National Park by Luke Brown
Nyanga National Park is situated in Zimbabwe's Eastern Highlands. It has amazing scenic beauty with rolling grassland, rocky outcrops, large forests and rushing, clear-water streams. It is not a big game destination, but is home to kudu, waterbuck, impala and other plains game.

Review about Matusadona National Park by Luke Brown
Matusadona lies along the shores of Lake Kariba, and as such the expansive inland water body is an added element to the incredible scenic beauty of the area. Lions, Elephant, Buffalo and many more species of animal exist here, but are not as frequently seen as in Hwange and Mana Pools. The area is very well known for its diversity of bird life, with about 400 species recorded here. The lake is home to the tiger fish, which is one of the best fighting fresh water fish in the world.

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.
