Yotam one of our Zimbabwean guides has just returned from a SAa17 & CVa21 and experienced Makuwa Safari Lodge. He has the following to share with you. 

What an upgrade on the famous Johannesburg to Cape Town accommodated tour known as "Rainbow Route SAa17"!

I have done this tour a few months back but the change of accommodation on the first day of the tour is an absolute first class upgrade. Makuwa Safari Lodge is an excellent two nights stay on this wildlife packed tour. The lodge is owned by Sunway Safaris and located in the Timbavati conservancy which is close to the greater Kruger giving the first comers (guests) a feel of the good they will see and hear on the tour.

Sfiso and I (Steff) just returned from a very successful South Africa Rainbow Route where clients got to see some incredible sightings. The first park that we visit on this tour is famous Kruger National Park and expectations are obviously high. But we never make any promises as the park is massive and animals roam free. The fact that it is winter and trees are without much foliage allows for a better view into the bush, however the grass is now yellow, just like the fur of the big cats!! So coming to spot animals at this time of the year has advantages and disadvantages.

We spent two nights in a camp in Kruger Park and had time to explore the area in the south, hoping to spot some of the big game as well as small game which to me are just as interesting and beautiful! It was however two sightings that I won’t forget that made the trip to Kruger for me!

Patrick one of our more experienced Zimbabwe guides has been on the road with various operators for many years and now at Sunway Safaris for 3 years. Being a master of the road he has the following to share. No matter how many trips I've made into the Okavango Delta I am still amazed by its vastness & beauty.

Having been to Victoria Falls a few times I have seldom seen any large animals in the town its self. Carina and Farai had an experience on a recent trip that stayed in Vic falls and have the following to share.

A day in the life of people living in National Parks is often not seen, but today we saw it in Victoria Falls. After we did 12 days of our 14 day Botswana tour, we entered Zimbabwe and headed to Victoria Falls, the town is situated in a National Park and part of the briefing when visiting this town is to warn people to be careful of the animals in the town.
