Best Zimbabwe bush trip with Manapools.com
You cannot make a mistake going with Manapools - for knowledge, detailed planning, vehicle maintenance, hosting and agility. These guys know what they do. Our family group of 6 had a great time on safari with knowledgeable guide cum driver and camp assistant Bevan. This is about authentic safari's in Africa for real. The linkup with Sailing with Elephants on Lake Kariba is an innovative diversion in the trip, making for great diversity of experiences.
Knowledgable and Professional Operators!
Thanks to Ant and his well trained to team for putting together a trip to Mana Pools for the three of us-the adventure of a lifetime! From start to finish the guys made us feel at home at their Sunbird Guesthouse. Ant and his teams service was superb, groceries puchased before our arrival, our vehicle was packed and ready to rumble early the following day. The vehicle was well kitted and in good working order for the challenging roads and conditions. All-in-all great value for money and left us eager to return as soon as we can!
The guys are very friendly and professionals
We went on zim for 2 weeks, mixing lodges and campsites in mana pools, hwange and Kazuma pan, sailing in kariba lake. Everything was perfectly planned by Ant from manapools.com, only good surprises.
An excellent, well - organised business
Ant was extremely helpful in tayloring our itinerary to fit in with what we requested. He replied promptly to any queries we had and was happy to discuss any requirements.
The tour was very good value for money, the vehicle comfortable and well-kitted out.
Beavan, our driver/camp manager/chef, deserves special mention as he was always cheerful, helpful and happy to go above and beyond.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend this company and will use them again without hesitation
Professional, thorough, safe, and gave us the holiday of a lifetime.
Very impressed with the service we received from Ant in advance of the trip. Organising an itinerary that suited our timescales and requirements over WhatsApp, email, phone and facetime was all done with a minimum of fuss.
Upon arrival in Harare, we received a detailed briefing from him and Beaven in advance of departure. Because one of our party had been held up due to a cancelled flight, we had to re-jig the schedule and, again, this was done in a heartbeat and without any anxiety.
The trip itself was fantastic. Beaven was magnificent and negotiated the dreadful Zim roads like the pro that he is. At the sites we stayed, erecting the tents and sorting out the facilities became second nature and we were made to feel like family. The food was great (including one of our number who was vegan) and nothing was too much trouble. We visited Mana Pools, Chitake and Chizarira national parks - all of which had their own differing appeal which meant that we all had different favourites! There's not enough space to talk of the amazing experiences at each of the camps and sailing on Lake Kariba. All magnificent!
At every stage, Beaven's expertise and knowledge shone through. He looked after us and we felt we made a friend for life. There were some early starts and by the end, some of the teenagers were less than enamoured with getting up at 0600, but we saw it through and came back to the UK with memories that will last a lifetime, all thanks to the Mane Pools Tourism Services. 10 out out 10, guys!
