Let your guide lead you through the wild to spot insects, plants, and bird species such as the greater flamingo and Goliath heron.
Hop into a mokoro, a traditional dugout canoe, and drift along the calm waters to get closer to elephant, hippos and waterbirds.
Visit the local village, Matabe, for a guided tour around two local schools, a church, nutritional garden and cattle dip.
After sunset, venture out into the private concession to seek out nocturnal species such as the elusive leopard and aardvark.
Jen & George
We were bundled into a vehicle and dashed off to see a leopard within the first 30 minutes of arriving; it was an AWESOME start. Our guide completely made the entire experience. He was an exceptional birder and his best party trick was to point out the bird and then tell us the exact page we could find it in our book. We combined Zimbabwe with Mozambique, and our beach hotel felt like a complete hidden gem. The sand is like ‘moon dust’ and the hospitality and food were fantastic.
