An adventure of a lifetime
7 day safari moremi-chobe Explorer
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with the moonstroll safari team. Dylos is an amazing guide with such a wealth of knowledge about the animals and how to find them. He was always happy to answer any questions about the animal and their habitats, as well as about the history and culture of the areas. His knowledge of the parks was also very impressive, there are so many winding roads and pathways, and he always seemed to know where they led and how they all linked together.
We also had three porters with us who shadowed us in a backup vehicle. They put the tents up and cooked our meals, and made sure we were always catered for. The food was fantastic, especially considering how remote we were at the time.
Our trip as a whole was incredibly successful although we did face some challenges along the way. We managed to see almost every animal you could imagine: cheetahs, lions, wild dogs, leopards, hyenas and much more, all within the first couple days.
We did have some car problems that we couldn't fully resolve until Kasane but this just demonstrated how incredibly resourceful Dylos and his team were in keeping the vehicles running.
All in all, I would say that this sort of trip is not for those who are faint of heart, but for those who want a real adventure and relish a challenge.
Not we were expecting
Overall the accommodation was excellent throughout our week safari. We were extremely disappointed with the lack of time actually spent out on game drives. Started well during our first two days in Masai Mara, but then went down hill from there as we were constantly changed from one jeep group to another. We spent hours waiting for the groups to arrive once we had been changed. The drivers were constantly apologising for us being messed about. One of the jeeps broke down twice and we were late arriving at our accommodation. When we went to Amboselli the guide was very late picking us up so did not spend a full day in the park as had been arranged and when we eventually got in the park it was to hot to see the animals. The Fifth guide seemed disinterested in wanting to show us animals that we were keen to see and just wanted to show us elephants and drive very slowly around the park to pass time.

Worried about the time
Theodore has taken us the first day to the Kroger safari, the first day is many hours by car, but we have seen very beautiful parts of the natural park.

Wonderful Safari tour with a cheerful and caring tour operator!
I had a wonderful time with the tour members, and our tour guide Laurence.
Thanks to Laurence, we could see many different animals with delicious food everyday.

Our booked activities with Fuhara were carried out with reliability and professionality
1) Devil's Pool (Zim side) awesome!
This part was carried out by two very professional, knowledgeable (part. Ross!) and "obliging" guides, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the falls from this perspective and felt absolutely safe at all times - a big thank you to Jamee and Ross! :-)
2) Falls Nat.Park walk - good; this could be'spiced up' with more information on the trees (flora in general), birds, etc, but was still informative and interesting, and our pleasant guide Casper - who very professionally had put the whole tour together and accompanied it throughout - did his best to prevent us from sleeping (midday&very hot!) with informative and witty anecdotes - big thank you to Casper! :-)
3) Flying Fox: absolutely amazing! Hard to put into words the feeling when 'taking off' from the ramp into ....nothing but clear air above the gorge!!! Even tho one is doubly and trebly secured by harness and ropes - a small fear remains, but what a thrill! Thank you guys from ? company, sorry but too many of them to remember all their names (T.K., Bright,...)
I would definitely recommend all 3 activities (and have done so, already) and a special thanks to Ross and T.K. for taking such phantastic footage!!

Ineffable sums it all up for me.
I enjoyed the hospitality, went with a group of friends and we left with smiles. Simply amazing and a recommendation.

Highly recommend
Booking the game safari was easy and well organized from start to finish. Communication was clear, the team was responsive, and all details (pick-up, accommodation, meals, game drives) were exactly as promised. The safari itself was unforgettable amazing wildlife sightings such as a lion, a knowledgeable guide, and stunning landscapes. Highly recommend this experience!l

Fantastic accommodation choices
We booked our honeymoon trip about 6 weeks in advance, which we appreciate is pretty late. We decided to use Off2Africa as they were able to give a more detailed itinerary, they worked with our budget and advised use how to make the most out of it. Originally we enquired about Botswana, but due to the late booking & limited availability they advised we’d get a lot more for our money by going to Zimbabwe. They also sought out some of the best honeymoon deals.
The accomodation we went to was incredible! At Neimba lodge we saw hundreds of elephants as we ate our dinner and was really remote & we barely saw other safari trucks.
Old Lodge in Vic Falls was the most honeymoon style accommodation you could get - wish we had stayed longer!
The only reason I’ve dropped a star is because we didn’t hear from the company at all during our trip, which we thought was a little odd. We were unable to check into our flight one day, so reached out to the contact, but they were on leave. It was all fine, just a little surprising they didn’t reach out during the trip and ask how it was going etc.
