Dear Rob, we had a good time in Zimbabwe. I think it’s true to say that it exceeded our expectations given the problems the country has had and continues to have. With fuel shortages and empty shelves in the shops the camps still manage to provide all their clients need. Both of the camps were well-managed and very much orientated to provide their guests with the best experiences they could. The elephants in Hwange gave us the best sightings we have ever had: better than Chobe. Seeing literally hundreds of elephants come down to the water hole to drink as the sun set was a remarkable sight. We saw more kudu in Hwange than we have seen anywhere and we also saw sable which are such beautiful antelopes. No leopards in Hwange but we did see good cheetah and lion. It was a privilege to be guided by Nick in Mana Pools. We walked with the dogs which was amazing. We also saw the elephant which stands on its hind-legs to break branches (they call him Boswell after a circus ele which was taught to stand on its hind-legs) which is another amazing sight. We also saw more eland in Mana Pools than we have ever seen before. Pamela had a great 60th birthday including the presentation of an elephant dung cake. They went out of their way to make it a special day. I should also add one final point. We have travelled with you so many times we expect things to run smoothly and once again they did. We forget that in Africa things often go wrong and things don’t happen as and when they should. Everything you organised was exactly as it should have been which we sort of take for granted when it’s clear that often doesn’t happen. Thanks again.
