Zimbabwe Safari Operator Reviews
I had a wonderful time in Hwange! My tour guide Bothwell was fantastic and so kind. My accommodations at Gwango exceeded my expectations and my organizer Bronah was always available for any question I had. Finally, my driver Shakes was an expert navigator of the roads, in addition to being one the smartest people I’ve met. I was well looked after by Little Roz Tours and felt it was a great value. I appreciate their being able to accommodate me as a solo traveler!
