Our Visit To Palm River Hotel In Victoria Falls

On our latest trip to the resort town of Victoria Falls, we had the pleasure of visiting the recently opened Palm River Hotel. Palm River is a 4-star facility that is a sister property to Ilala Lodge. We were completely impressed by the hotel itself and the experience as a whole. The hotel is a beautiful piece of architecture that uses a lot of local elements to come up with a property of world-class standards. There is a stunning walkway that leads to the entrance. The replica of the Victoria Falls Bridge is quite remarkable. The landscaping around the property is really top-notch as well. All the main areas have evocative artwork or statement pieces as foyer furniture.

Our Visit To Matopo National Park

It was 5 pm and we were headed toward the Whovi Wild Area exit and back to the campsite, we were to sleep in. Whovi is part of the Matopo Hills National Park in Zimbabwe’s Matebeleland province. There, in a slashed fire-break with the golds of those perfect last hours of daylight flashing liquid-white on their black backs were a calf and cow. White rhino. Casey who had spotted the pair laughed, “well here we go again, more of that picture book stuff”

Our Unforgettable Experience At The Elephant Camp

What an amazing weekend we experienced at the Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls. The moment we landed at the Vic Falls International airport, the safari adventure began. An Elephant Camp shuttle was already waiting for us, a very friendly driver called Ben dropped us at the camp. Upon arrival at the camp, our bags were whisked away to our rooms and we were greeted with some delicious iced tea and drawn to the verandah with its stunning views of the African bush. We were treated like royalty by The Elephant Camp staff (led by Irene and Hamil), from the time we arrived until the time we left.

Our Weekend Getaway To Sian Simba River Lodge In Victoria Falls

Our trip began at Harare Domestic Airport, where we boarded the Kuva Air Flight to Victoria Falls. The flight took approx. 1hr 15 mins, was comfortable and we were served a light pastry snack accompanied by a soft drink. On arrival at Victoria Falls airport, we were met by the Sian Simba team who had 3 open safari vehicles waiting for us to transport us to the lodge which was approx. 35kms from Victoria Falls Town.

Self Drive Adventures 2024

This incredible 42 day circuit of Zimbabwe starts and ends in Johannesburg. We head into Zimbabwe from the south and travel in a clockwise direction. From our recent experience, on this route most of the national parks (other than at Victoria Falls and Hwange) do not have much tourism at present.

Exploring Kazuma Pan National Park

Black smudges of black shapes. Brilliant black coats, a white proud blaze ever so slightly standing out from the burnt black woodland. It is fire season and the antelope is Sable. A group of around 7, 8, and 9 females was sitting under the shade. A bull was standing sentry a short way apart, the gatekeeper to Kazuma Pan. “I’ve never seen anything like it before, it’s like something out of a book!” Casey gasped as we drove away from the Sable, sentinel and unmoving from the precious shade, away from the last groves of Mopane and into the depression. As Alec, Kazuma’s Senior Ranger had promised us at the park’s reception, “it's not that big but I can assure you, it’s very rich.” It is. Very, very rich. Scan the flat, shimmering horizon and you’ll watch the sloping tsessebe, Africa’s fastest antelopes, herds of zebra in numbers unlike I’ve seen elsewhere - 40, 50, 60? - oribi, endemic to the Kazuma Depression, roan, giraffe, gemsbok, reedbuck, and eland
