Nothing really prepared me for exactly how excellent this camp is.
The manager is superb and is involved with every aspect of the operation.
The location is divine and the camp itself is lovely, not super luxury, but exceedingly comfortable.
The food is delicious, one of the few places during a one month safari to very upmarket lodges where we were continually disappointed with the food.
Since most of our time was spent fishing, David was our primary guide and he was superb. He is an asset to the organization; he is charming, knowledgeable, and very kind and considerate.
I did a walking safari with another excellent guide (please forgive me that I cannot remember his name) who was also first class.
Game viewing will be greatly enhanced bu the introduction of animals by African Parks which was to commence the week after we left.
With that addition, this should be oil all traveler's lists who plan a safari in Zimbabwe.
Kudos to all of you and thank you for making our stay so memorable.
