Return to Eden Houseboat Trip & Lake Harvest Kariba Half Marathon Weekend
Gosh … where has the time gone? It seems like just the other day we were all getting ready for the Lake Harvest Half Marathon weekend in Kariba and then it was suddenly upon us. I promised myself I’d sit down and write my blog about it right after, but here we are in October, […]
Getting to know Mana Pools – Mwinilunga & Kavinga
Woody and I recently got to know the Mana Pools area a little better when we were invited on a couple of Familiarisation trips to Mwinlilunga and Kavinga Safari Camps. These 2 lodges are situated in different areas of the Mana Pools National Park, and therefore offer a perfect opportunity for a combination package tour, […]
A Warm Welcome to Iganyana Tented Camp
I met Terry and Sheona through a mutual travel partner, who recommended them and their new luxury tented camp in Hwange. Iganyana gets its name from the local dialect meaning Wild Dog, which is very appropriate, considering the African Painted Dog Conservation Centre is literally a ten minute drive away. When Sheona and Terry very […]
Road Trip to Econet VF Marathon & The Baobab Hotel
“Why? Oh WHY, did I ever think deciding to run a full 42.4km marathon was a good idea?” I ask myself, as Woody and I head off at sparrows to tackle the long drive from Kariba to Victoria Falls. I mean honestly, I had lived my entire life not running and been perfectly fine? So […]

Tuskers Campsite
Tuskers Campsite is the budget accommodation on offer from the Amalinda Collection. It is located on the same private concession as Ivory Lodge, Khulu Bush Camp and Khulu’s Retreat. It is only a few kilometres off the main Bulawayo to Victoria Falls road. Although not actually in the Hwange National Park, it is a 40 […]
Khulu’s Retreat
Just a stone’s throw away from Khulu Bush Camp and Ivory Lodge, is the luxury private villa, aptly named Khulu’s Retreat. Although, it over looks the same waterhole as Khulu Bush Camp, Khulu’s Retreat has been very cleverly built into the bush so that it offers the guests complete privacy and a feeling of being […]
Changa Safari Camp
A couple of months ago a group of Zimbabwean agents were invited on a familiarisation trip to Changa Safari Camp – a very brave undertaking by the camp, knowing that the majority of the agents were women. Lesser companies would have immediately cancelled when the tally of ladies came to 12, with only 2 men […]
