The trip was fantastic. All your recommendations were extremely good.
I will definitely do our next safari at Wilderness Safaris camps, everything was excellent, no complaints especially with our young children. Our guide at Makalolo was great with children, she had patience and knew how to keep the children occupied throughout.
Thank you for making this safari so enjoyable, we will definitely use Asia to Africa Safaris again!
- Charging lions, laughing hippos, elephant herds splashing happily at the water holes..
- lazy crocs grinning toothily (hungrily?) as we canoe past them, tracking the black rhino on foot (“don’t worry, just climb a tree if it charges!”),
- sundowners while watching stunning sunsets and picnic lunches in the wild (once even in the middle of the Zambezi!)
…the memories are endless and unforgettable
The Mana Canoe Trail in Zimbabwe is the most special safari one can do. Saw hundreds of elephants, buffalo, eland, waterbuck, kudu and eland from the canoe not to mention all the birdlife and of course the 1,500 hippos and loads of crocs on the Zambezi. Meal settings were awesome – under beautiful trees, on sandbanks in the middle of the Zambezi surrounded by hippos and at the temporary camps which were in these gorgeous areas on the riverbank. The walks were also great as Mana Pools is pumping with game in August.
The pictures remind us of a great time in our lives and this canoe trip is definitely engraved in our memories. We were very lucky to share it with you!
We have been thinking so many times of you and this wonderful time in Africa ... We really dream of the next trip you are planning to Botswana. JC is very occupied every evening following the growth of his seeds (there are little baobabs, marulas & African ebonies coming ahead!!!).
We are about to send Asia-to-Africa a BIG thank-you email for organizing such a fantastic safari for us. Each leg of the trip was not only amazing but each stop was better than the previous one, with Mana Pools definitely the big climax!
As cliche as it sounds this was the trip of a lifetime!
Hi Kevin, I thought you should know that the trip went exceptionally well. Could not really have been any better. Short to plan, but thoroughly well executed by you and your partners, Wilderness Safaris. We saw plenty of game, caught up with friends, made new ones and came away with a greater appreciation for the outstanding knowledge and professionalism of the Zim guides and the staff that manage the operations. Zim guides really should be the star attraction. Without them, the flora and fauna does not come alive and have no stories.
We can never have enough of a safari experience. The highlights of this trip were the underground blind, tracking and seeing a pangolin at 11pm, and following the hunting wild dogs at sundown. With each trip we discover something new which makes us keep going back for more!
Thanks a lot for your assistance and service throughout the entire planning journey till the very end of our trip. We really had the trip of a lifetime! Africa is really such a beautiful place and we miss it already.
Kevin has just been bloody amazing....if I am permitted to use slightly stronger language! He basically turned around a 14 night itinerary in less than 24 hrs. Must be a record for Asia to Africa....and basically I think we worked together so well to wrap up the trip in about 5 days.
I am so looking forward to going back and seeing some old friends in Harare plus all the safari, fishing and Vic Falls. Thanks again to you and the team at A&A. I am already thinking Namibia in 2016 and also S. America in the future!
