I made 'last minute' reservations September 2016 thru Mckenzie 4x4. They gave me extremely inexpensive rates from 1/2 dozen top camps. Not much they could do about the flights. I noticed there was no single supplement for most of…

I booked several days in the Delta through Maun Self Drive 4x4 at huge discounts in Sept. There were others at the camp that were paying over $1100/day more then I was(high season). Worth investigating if you are…

At Chirundu end of Sept., live bait was the only thing working.

Weekend of Full moon in Sept. Off the top of my head, about Sept 12th.

N1 Hotel in Harare has secure parking. Just recently opened.

Possibly a mobile safari operator can take you into the Kalahari for those days.

There is a very nice 4 bedroom house in a quiet area, adjacent to the Thamalakane River that may be available, and in the same rate range as the Thamalakane River Lodge. Has only a housekeeper and a couple of…

I just got another call about this and several emails. I already acknowledged there was a mistake. Where the misinformation came from, I am not sure. However, I understand Mark is very mad. Over several years I have promoted the…

The owner has been emailing me with some updates for the new camp. A couple days ago, a pack of wild dogs, approximately 15, ran through Zikomo Safari Camp and out onto the flood plain. They were in hot pursuit…

The information on the Zimparks page may help you.

Do not mistake lack of active enforcement of the River Bank Route restrictions for suspension. I haven't been told this, but I imagine the reason the DWNP is not enforcing the restrictions currently is that this is low season…

Have you contacted The Real Mokoro ? It is a community run operation.

The South Park, south of the Rufiji River is nearly all hunting concessions. Without prior arrangements, you will not be able to enter that part of the Selous. Campsites in Tanzania are generally not as numerous as in Southern Africa…
