We had a great time in...

5.00We had a great time in Matopos. The landscape is breathtaking and we had an awesome rhino sighting. We also enjoyed the delicious lunch at Matobo Hills Lodge (veggie options available). The pick-up service was perfect, since we were picked-up at our hotel, that wasn't originally a pick-up point.

5.00TK was the absolute best! I got to see not one but two groups of rhinos up close and it was an amazing experience. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes due to the tall grass, I realized upon arrival my birks were not a good choice, but TK went above and beyond making sure I got through the vegetation ok.
A must-do while in Bulawayo!

5.00I enjoyed every bit of this excursion! Our guide, TK, was very knowledgeable and provided thought-provoking information and conversation. It was super fun seeing the rhinos, but my favorite part was definitely the balancing rocks. The view was incredible! I was truly awe-struck. Lunch back at the lodge was delicious, too. Definitely recommend this excursion!
