Travel Testimonials

“I have to say that that there is much more to Zimbabwe than Victoria Falls. I took this journey and discovered the beauty and wildlife of Zimbabwe’s Zambezi National Park. The lodges were luxurious, which made this trip even better. Victoria Falls was so incredible to see and the abundant wildlife in the Hwange National Park was impressive. Of course, the sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi River is not to be missed. You haven’t been to Africa if you haven’t enjoyed traditional African “sundowners” - drinks as the sun sets in the bush and dined under the African sky.”
