Jennifer_W, Nov 2025

This was a brilliant trip and a brilliant itinerary. Bonisa Excursions organised all of the logistics very smoothly, and it all worked seamlessly, and felt professional and safe. We were in contact prior to the trip to organise the pick up time, and then hit the road to head to Great Zimbabwe. The UNESCO world heritage site certainly delivered and was amazing to see and hear more about the rich history and culture of the region, and Zimbabwe more generally. Then we headed to beautiful view points of Lake Kyle in the early evening before picking up some dinner and then heading to the accommodation. The accommodation was comfortable, and offered a hearty breakfast. And then on the second day we visited the Kyle Recreational Park, which was delightfully not-busy, and while the animals were initially slow to come out, by the end we'd seen lots with particular highlights being a group of White Rhinos plus a Rhino mother with her young! Obviously, you don't know what you're going to see on these, but the wild life was brilliant and it felt like there was enough there that you should see something of interest, but definitely beneficial to bring binoculars if you have them. We also found a fantastic look out which gave a beautiful view of the lake. It was really nice that Lesley was flexible with timing and didn't rush the experience when viewing all of the amazing wildlife. Overall, it was a great way to see a cross-section of the country, and combine both the history of the people of Zimbabwe, with the natural environment in just 2 days, without feeling too rushed. I'd definitely recommend the 2 day experience if you have the time, even if slightly more costly, so that you can get the full experience at a relaxed pace. Also, grateful to Lesley for his excellent guiding, and knowledgeable and insightful conversation! Thank you to Lesley and the team at Bonisa Excursions
