After several years of not offering Zimbabwe, we have decided to reintroduce it. The country is as beautiful as ever, the wildlife almost as rich, the people as welcoming, and many camps and lodges have a distinctly 'new' feel. Although they have seen few visitors over recent years. For anyone who knows Africa, the names Matusadona, Mana Pools and Matobo Hills conjure up images of fantastic wildlife, but which have become over the past few years both remote and little visited.

We are being highly selective about what we offer in Zimbabwe since, in our view, it is essential that those facilities we use provide benefits to the local economy and impoverished communities, and help generate employment at a grass-roots level. At present for obvious reasons, Zimbabwe feels like a brand new destination and has prices to match, but it's unlikely to remain like that for long.
