Quality Hwange Experience for the Gorman Family - Stayed at Gwango Heritage Lodge and Gwango Elephant Lodge for 4days as recommended by Simon. They didnt fail to disappoint...we had great accomodation, food and staff were very attentive and friendly. NYE was a great party for the family and other guests and they even made a birthday cake for my birthday. Game drives with Blessing were of a very high standard and we got to see most of the game in the park. Recommended big time.

Great experience - A great place to see wildlife. The tour was long but well worthwhile. The driver who drove us to the park was punctual and friendly, as were the ranger and driver in the park itself (see my review for Chobe as we did both tours.) I can recommend doing this tour.

Hwange National Park Full Day Trip - Had a great trip to Hwange with everything included. Driver from Vic Falls to Hwange national park was an excellent driver considering road conditions and wild animals in the way. Tour guide was great to chat with, very knowledgeable, and took us to some great spots to see the animals. He also put on a great lunch! Will happily recommend to all.

Wonderful day trip to an interesting national park - We arranged a full program of excursions and experiences with African Beast Safaris, including a full day visit to Hwange National Park. The drive from Victoria Falls is interesting with varied scenery and a few bumpy roads. When we arrived at the park, our safari vehicle was waiting. It was clean, with drinks available. Our driver guide Ethan, was a joy to spend time with, and shared much knowledge during our time with him. The animals were plentiful and our picnic lunch was excellent. Overall an incredible experience. Thank you to all involved.

Fabulous Full Day Safari - Brilliant day safari. Collected by driver at 0600 from our Vic falls hotel. A long drive of 3 hours, but interesting scenery on the way and an excellent driver Liberty, very knowledgeable and good company. Saw many animals, hippo, elephant, zebra, lion, giraffe and very fortunate to be the only group who spotted and watched a leopard. Very good hot lunch provided plus soft drinks. Guides very thorough. Back in Vic Falls by 8 p.m, only slightly late as Liberty took us via the Painted Fog rehab centre where we were able to have 20 minutes viewing two dogs they had there, recovering from a lion attack. A really worthwhile day trip.

Fantastic Experience at Vic Falls and Beyond! - If you're planning a trip to Victoria Falls I highly recommend Simon and Africa Beast Safaris. We had originally just booked a Hwange day tour with Africa Beast, but Simon offered to provide transport to and from the airport and helped us book activities for the rest of the trip as well. We enjoyed a sunset cruise on the Zambezi, the Gorge Swing, a Helicopter Ride, White Water rafting, and of course the Hwange Safari, all of which Simon coordinated for us and each was an incredible experience in and of itself. Each excursion is operated by a different provider, but Simon arranged everything for us to fit with our schedule. In addition to being a great local guide, Simon was consistently punctual and professional and a huge help with making the most of our trip to Vic falls. Can't recommend enough!!!

Hwange June 2022 - Very good tour and would recommend it to others. Our main guide along with the guide specifically for Hwange were both very friendly and knowledgeable. My only recommendation would be that it should be mentioned on the booking site of the $50 fee if being picked up in Zambia.

A beautiful day - An intense day at HWANGE that gives an overview of this magnificent reserve keeping in mind that it takes 1 week to really discover Hwange. The excursion is well organized with pick-up at the hotel. Note that it takes 3 hours to reach the park by taking stoned roads, and obviously as much to return at night... At the arrival at the entrance of the park, we change vehicles for a 4x4. The ranger is top, he spoke English only but adapted so that we understand as much as possible. The meal picnic very well in a beautiful place in the middle of the savannah. A beautiful day! Note, the squabbles at the level of reservations on VIATOR. The service provider cancels the booking and asks you to pay directly with him to get paid faster than on the booking platforms. Surprising as a step especially as we have no choice otherwise the excursion does not take place. Not normal but apparently it is commonplace...

scammed - this was terrible. I booked through Simon a in April. I asked him if he would offer me the same refund of cancellation (24 hours ahead). He said he would honor it. My flight got cancelled and I emailed him 5 days before to cancel my trip. He told me at first I wasn't entitled to a refund. When I showed him our email exchange, he said he would get me the money as soon as he could get it. He just needed one other person to book the trip. Two months later and multiple emails he still hasn't gotten my money back (even though other people have booked his tour, one even wrote a review after I was supposed to take my trip). I had to reverse the credit card charge. Simon is a fraud and is not to be trusted.
