The scale is right, the place is delightful, the staff are great, the animals are abundant.
Everything about the Hide in Hwange works well. The rooms are comfortable without being unnecessarily opulent and are right for the location. The travel arrangements ( you are picked up from the Park Entrance) work really well, there is abundant game and a wide choice of excursions and drives. The staff, with whom you eat the exceptionally good food, are extremely knowledgeable and hard working. Its a rare destination and not to be missed.
Review about Zambezi National Park by jdlevrec
Lots of wildlife - birds, animals, plants, etc. A good amount of tourists, but not enough to be bothered by the amount of people!
Review about Namibia by Daniel Mac Alister
It is an amazing place, so varied in it's landscape.
Beautiful country, wildlife and culture
I didn't stay in Zimbabwe very long. We stayed right outside of Victoria Falls and the town was really interesting. It's completely different from anything you could ever imagine! The town was a poor area, but there was a lot of surrounding land that had incredible scenery and wildlife. The weather was hot, humid and rainy. We camped in tents, which was an adventure too with all the wildlife living around us (monkeys, bugs, etc). We went rafting down the Zambezi River which was a BLAST and also visited Victoria Falls of course. Our guide, named Pastor, was great. We had a blast with him. We traveled in a big passenger van, but there was only 4 of us including Pastor so we had a lot of room. The food was amazing. On our last night, we went a restaurant called The Boma. The food, dancing, and entertainment was incredible.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by DennisK
This is a must see destination! The view of the crater from above allows you to digest all the geological information you will read and that the guide will tell you. It is also a natural zoo, rich with water and vegetation that supports many wildlife.

Review about Serengeti National Park by DennisK
Serengeti - what a name, what a beautiful area and oh, so many animals. We went to Kenya a week later and saw the continuation of the Serengeti into their country. It was also beautiful, but very commercial. Hopefully Tanzania will not change their management philosophy.

Tanzania's gift to the world is it's park system of undeveloped nature and undisturbed wildlife.
Tanzania has a park system that is commercially undisturbed. Although, some areas are not lush, the absence of any human remodeling allows you to see it's beauty. When you see animals, there is no zoo like atmosphere. Their Hotels blend into the local landscape; they are are quiet; their staff are warm and the food excellent.
Review about Mana Pools National Park by Zimfreak
the river explains it all.
A place to visit as often as possible
Wildlife - still one of the best in Africa, a huge biodiversity and geological variety, still a good place to be for the self catering enthusiast, some very experienced safari outfits offer various tours by car or on foot, good value for money!

An excellent weekend in the bush to take refuge from the 21st century
On arrival at the main lodge, we were welcomed by the friendly yet professional staff. The park was very active with wildlife including lions, elephants, hundreds of different bird species, baboons, leopards, cheetah and much more! The waterholes were amazing in the evening for those of us patient enough to wait.
Hwange is an excellent place for people of any level of interest in game to really get to grips with the animals in their large natural habitat and is so much more rewarding than seeing crowded animals in small reserves.
