Wild Zimbabwe

"This trip delivered an experience beyond my expectations. The guide, the lodges, meals, community school and village visits, transportation, and the wildlife in the park. Loved the train experience. It was nice to take a charter flight at the end so we spent less time driving."

"This was a really fantastic trip--the trip of a lifetime. I was very impressed with what they are trying to accomplish in reintroducing the white rhino, getting the local community involved to improve the quality of their lives and the opportunity to 'walk' with the rhino was unforgettable."

"Everyone in our travel group agreed that this was the BEST trip we've ever experienced! Sibs was an amazing guide—wonderful sense of humor, amazing depth of knowledge regarding all wildlife we encountered, uncanny ability to spot every type of wild creature well before we could even make them out! And a genuinely warm, welcoming host at meals, snacks, and sundowners! He became a friend, not just a guide. The lodges were gorgeous, the food, outstanding, and everyone was friendly and eager to meet our every need. I cannot praise our experience enough—I've become a WT ambassador!"

"Absolutely loved traveling on the Elephant Train, absolutely in awe every day of what we saw literally in the first few hours of each day! Absolutely blown away by our sundowner locations, every night a different theme and entirely different location! Absolutely in love with the lifestyle of incredibly hard-working people in Zimbabwe!"

"The itinerary was very well designed, the leadership on the ground was first rate, the accommodations were excellent, and the food was terrific. This trip will set the standard for every future adventure trip we take. As we travel the world, my hope is we can find trips that let us see the amazing nature and wildlife, interact with local people from different cultures and return much more knowledgeable than when we left."
