Africa Wildlife Safari Zambia Zimbabwe 2013

I've been working on putting together a trip to return to two places I really enjoy but aren't typical destinations--Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe and the Busanga Plains in Zambia with an interlude to see Victoria Falls. Since the game in Hwange varies by season and the Busanga plains are only traversable for a few months a year I'm looking way out to October 2013 for what promises to be an amazing trip. Zambia is well on the way to becoming "the next Botswana" with world class game and a lot less tourists. And Hwange has some of the world's largest concentrations of game around its watering holes at the end of the dry season in October. So we're in for a treat on both fronts.

Our Operating Partners:

Journeys Unforgettable handles our local arrangements and planning extensions for our clients. Steve & Brennan have years of experience in organizing and leading trips to Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. They are both avid photographers, and have been helping organize and lead my trips with me since 2005.

Wilderness Safaris is without question the very best camp operator in Southern Africa. They own and operate many camps which are used by very high end tour operators like Kerr & Downey -- where you'd pay more and get a lot less of the photo extras we are providing for this trip. Wilderness has been working with us from the beginning on our Digital Photo safaris and always support us above and beyond the call of duty. There policy of not allowing hunting on any of their concessions also helps greatly with our access to unstressed animals. They also provide a portion of all of their revenue to local non-profit development efforts through the Wilderness Trust and Children in the Wilderness.
