What camps and lodges are you staying at?
Hi Shaytay
In hwange we stay at the safari lodge, We would love to sit at the flood lit waterhole at night we did so in south africa with some great results
In matopos we are at a place called Imbila lodge It is self catering and our guide will be the chef
in Matusadona we are at rhino camp
In Victoria falls we stay at Vic falls safari lodge
in Okavango we have a mobile tented camp
Hwange Safari Lodge isn't actually IN Hwange and is basically just a big motel. If you can afford it, try for a camp within Hwange like Somalisa. While you're at Matopos, make sure you get to see some of the San rock art.
It must be just me, but that is one of the strangest itineraries I've seen yet. The transfers between camps make no sense. The order, even less.
It looks like a big circle in Zimbabwe, then over to Botswana. Going from Chobe to the Pans and back to Moremi does seem out of order, though.
I'm exhausted just reading it. Too much moving around for me.
I doubt any good travel agent would do this:
Mana Pools to>>
Two Nights Matusadona
1 night kariba town
1 night overnight on Kariba ferry
1 night vic falls
Why transfer back to Matusadona to stay in Kariba, so one can take the Kariba ferry, so they can sleep in a chair overnite. The cost to do this is more then just flying out of Matusadona to Vic Falls and saves at least 2 1/2 wasted days.
