Charlie and his team made this safari experience feel truly special. Dressed up in our best khaki fever, Charlie would bring us to amazing spots in Hwange. He found all the animals (lions were requested, lions were found), while making sure everyone always enjoyed a glass of their favorite drink. Charlie is a professional guide and an excellent entertainer. We had so much fun! Charlie's camp is clean and comfy, but you shouldnt forget that you are in the middle of the wilderness. A hyena visited the camp at night and stole my shoe. If you are looking for some adventure and excitement, Taylors Africa Mobile Safaris is the right choice.

Simon took my money and hung up. After accusing me of fraud forging his quote. Highly recommend not to contact him, he is probably a cheater. I asked him that if someone impersonated him and corresponded through his firm's email, then he should take care of it and also help me get my money back but he did not respond (apparently he is to blame). you have been warned! I have all the correspondence with him by email and WhatsApp so all the evidence is there for those who need it.

Prior to being established as a National Park in 1929, it served as royal hunting grounds for the Ndebele kings in the early 19th century.

TLDR; this is a tremendous experience for the adventurous traveler; if you have an open mindset about meeting new people, enjoy hiking and the outdoors, and don't mind an occasionally rough ride, this is an incredible trip and well worth your time. Having never traveled outside the US, I wanted to go big on my first solo trip with the 62-day excursion from Pretoria to Nairobi. Since it was such an extensive trip, I was looking for the most value for my time, based on price, activities, and safety. I backpack often, so beyond basic comfort was not a priority for me, which turned out to be a good mindset to adopt since we camped nearly the entire trip, & rode in a truck with no AC (Namibia gets hot!). Tip - be ready to retrieve the rain fly for your tent during unexpected 3 AM rain showers! However, nearly all of the sites we stayed at had the option to upgrade from camping to comfortable indoor accommodations, which was a nice option to take advantage of occasionally. Once we reached our site for the night, we began our daily rotating duties, which included helping to cook, clean the truck, and do dishes, which I think added to the experience and helped bond our fellow tourists. Traveling solo, I felt safe at all times with our guides, drivers, and locations. My trip was split between two guides, Crispen, then Pete, and they were great company that looked out for us and kept us safe and informed about everything around us. Our guides were familiar with the paths and knew everyone at our destinations. Nothing surprised them. Our drivers were impressive as well, with Harmony and Francis keeping us safe on the often-tumultuous African roads. Navigating both urban and off-road environments in our trucks was no easy task, and Francis even proved his mechanic skills during the occasional break-down. The variety of locations we stayed at were simply incredible. From Cape Town to the deserts of Namibia, the Okavango Delta to Zanzibar Island, the mixture of urban and remote landscapes couldn't have been better. We saw every animal you can imagine. On a trip like this, an open mindset is key. Traveling for two months with strangers can go any number of ways, but due to this trip, I now have lifelong friends scattered across the globe that I can't wait to visit. This wasn't just a vacation, it was a lasting, eye-opening experience that I believe everyone should try if possible. I can't recommend this trip enough. I wish I could go back to January and do it all over again.

What a fabulous wee trip. Picked up at our villa we drove out to local helicopter landing site where our hosts set up. Our guide was very knowledgeable informative about all this celestial. Unfortunately for us the moon was resplendent in all its glory so no dark sky. However we saw many constellations and heard many stories of battles and gods. We now need to do the same at home????. The only thing we might suggest is that folding chairs may be a help for folks necks. We really enjoyed the evening however and learned loads. Every blessing on the future of your business.
