Wonderful experience of African nature and wildlife with an excellent guide! - This was an absolutely amazing experience! We were taken in to the area where the
Rhinos are by a guide called Blessing Masenga, who was extremely familiar with the area, the animals, their behaviour etc. So much was explained to us, and we received excellent instructions so that our visit would not bring any harm to the animals nor include any risk for us. It was certainly one of my highlights during the 3 weeks in Africa!

Matobo National park and excellent encounters - A Rhino encounter in Matobo national park, wonderful lookout and geography, Cecil Rhodes grave and history.
Bushmen travel and Bongani and Blessing made it a most memorable day for us.It was indeed a tour par excellence. Great to see white Rhino in close proximity. Wonderful scenery around the look out points, then Cecil Rhodes grave and Zimbabwe history. A totally satisfying day. Thanks Blessing and Bongani

Up Close - This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, we rode and walked through some spectacular scenery, got a good close view of the rhinos, carried on to see cave paintings and worlds view. Our guide Blessing was very knowledgeable and gave us a very personal experience that is not often provided by the larger concerns.
We would highly recommend using Bushmen in the future.

Exciting rhino trek, fascinating cave paintings, plenty of time to take in the stupendous views! - We really enjoyed our day out in the Matobo Hills with Blessing as our guide. He was friendly, professional and flexible and we never felt rushed. We really enjoyed tracking rhinos on foot and saw a 6 day old baby rhino as well as the parents!
We loved the cave paintings and the view and walk around Rhodes grave. Blessing was full of information and stories about the area and we learnt a lot. We also saw baboons, zebras, clip springers and a black eagle.
We would definitely recommend this tour!

Matopos tour and Rhinos tracking! - We couldn't have chosen a better guide than Blessing. He truly lived up to his name!
He was very, very knowledgeable and passionate about Matopos and, moreover, the people and animals within it!
He made it really special for us, and we are so grateful for the memories. We were lucky to experience a full day of activities, which included tracking rhinos!!! finished off with a delicious hot meal, vegetarian or vegan options were no problem! We hope to go back and will definitely be booking Blessing again. Don't walk, run... I promise you won't regret it!

The most amazing experience with very knowledgeable guide Blessings - It’s been already three years since we went on this day trip with Blessings and my family still memorises it with warm thoughts, the highlight of our Zimbabwe trip. The day was truly a special experience with us, thanks to Blessings. He took so good care of us, cooked amazing food, drove us anywhere we needed even the day before our day trip, and most importantly his hospitality and knowledge was amazing, he could rekk everything about the animals, nature and area. Highly recommend this activity with Blessings!

Rhinos, rock paintings and the Cecil Rhodes grave site - Pick up was on time and the drive to Matobo NP took some 30 min. Straight away we saw two rhinos in the park and approached them, taking photos and video clips for my YouTube channel. We spent around 25 min with the rhinos and left them for the San rock paintings close by. The paintings are just like them in Brandberg, Namibia, but older. This was where my tour would have ended, but I added on the Matopos Hills monument part, where Cecil Rhodes grave is found, a historical site in Zimbabwe. I had an excellent day with plenty of really good footage!!

Unforgettable Rhino Tracking Adventure with Bushmen Travel Co. - We had an amazing trip tracking white rhinos with Bushmen Travel in Matobo National Park! The experience was both thrilling and humbling as we walked through the bush guided by Blessing, whose expertise and passion made it unforgettable. Getting so close to these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was truly magical. We also learned about the incredible efforts of the park rangers who protect these endangered animals, which gave us a deeper appreciation for conservation. The stunning landscapes and a beautiful sunset with sundowners made the day even more special. Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!

Wonderful nature experience with a gifted and passionate guide! - We were part of a safari tour which included this half-day tour of a Rhino encounter and visiting the Matobo Hills (World's View) area. Blessing was our guide, and he was phantastic! He shared so much information with us and was obviously very, very experienced with the country and the animals. He gave us great instructions which allowed a wonderful time visiting and observing a rhino cow with its calf. Blessing's love for his country, for the animals, for the community there and for the area is so obvious and was contageous. He made it one of the absolute highlights of our 16-day tour. I would recommend a tour with him at any time!
