The core of Africa
One of the best destination in Africa for the nature, people around Zimbabwe are really friendly with you and they can only share a smile; the weather in Africa is really good between November and March, I was there in January and the weather was simply perfect everyday.
The accomodation was really basic but was good, you can try there a typical local food and some african animal meats (if you like meat), the english tour guide was excellent and really nice person.

A wonderful safari full of unexpected and breathtaking sights from beginning to end.
I visited Chobe whilst working as a volunteer on the Book Bus project in Livingstone, Zambia. The crossing from Zambia to Botswana was very straightforward and the trip began with morning coffee at Kalahari Tours’ office followed by a boat safari on the Chobe River.
The wide river channels and lush green islands were an oasis amidst the dry thorn scrub. Not surprisingly, they were rich in bird life including fish eagles, pied kingfishers and white-fronted bee-eaters. It was fantastic to see everything from a different perspective, be on a level with the hippos in the water and get a close-up view of basking crocodiles.
After a delicious buffet lunch we headed into the park for a game drive. I was amazed to see so many elephants of all ages – a huge herd making its way to the water to drink and bathe. It was unexpected and wonderful. The rest of the drive did not disappoint with sightings of warthog, giraffe, impala, kudu, puku, buffalo and more. In the beautiful evening light we watched as elephants, including a two-week-old baby, crossed the river from the islands where they had been grazing and flocks of whistling, white-faced ducks took to the air. The sunset was breathtaking.
I had decided on the camping option for my overnight stay. The comfortable tents were set up in a clearing around a roaring campfire, which was welcome in the chill evening air, and we were very well fed and comfortable. It was great to be immersed in the bush with all the night sounds and amazing, starlit sky. Up for breakfast before sunrise, I was treated to the magical sight of a family of elephants passing quietly by the camp in the half-light of dawn.
All the guides/drivers were friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and happy to answer questions but frequent changeovers made tipping a bit of an issue. I would recommend staying at least one night as it added so much to the experience.
My visit to Chobe was over too quickly and I have every intention of returning.

Canoeing the Zambezi is a dream fulfilled.
We paddled the Zambezi on an 8 day 7 night canoe safari. The wildlife sightings are non-stop as you constantly pass through areas rich in hippos, crocodiles, rich bird life and elephants. Giraffes, lions, baboons, kudu, and more were spotted also during our trip, which we shall treasure a lifetime.
The roads, accommodations and guide service are all excellent in Zambia. Travelling from Lusaka to the area of the park is straightforward and easy.
Our guides on the trip were incredibly familiar with the area and were gracious hosts and ambassadors to their park. Zambia will greet you with a smile, and you will have a smile on your face when you depart as well.
