Reliable and great custom planning
Brighton custom-built our 11-day itinerary day-by-day for Zimbabwe and Botswana, tailored specifically to our family with three teenagers. The result was a brilliantly organized, well-budgeted trip filled with varied, eye-opening experiences that captured the true natural beauty of both countries.
Gerry, who accompanied us the entire way, was wonderful: kind, attentive, and completely professional whenever we had to make a few schedule adjustments. One of those pivot moments led us to Elephant Haven in Maun, an elephant rehabilitation and release sanctuary. Getting to interact with these gentle giants was deeply moving and easily the most special surprise of the trip.
Elephants followed us everywhere: right at breakfast outside our lodge in Hwange, under the starlit skies at Elephant Sands, watching mothers guide their little ones across the Chobe waters, and even having them politely block our path on the roads more than once.
Moments like these—made possible by Brighton and his team—will stay etched in our family's memory forever.
We wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for authentic, soul-stirring wildlife and nature journeys off the beaten path.
