Wonderful day, Blessing is the best!

5.00Blessing picked us up on time having kept in contact a few times over the days before, very reassuring. After introductions we were seated and given a large woollen blanket which we gratefully accepted for the 40 minute drive to Matobo national park. Blessing made no promises but within 30 minutes of entering the park we stopped de-bussed and he climbed some rocks to get a view over the scrub he soon rejoined us at the same time as a rhino ranger came and join us we had a safety brief before setting off in single file, within 10 minutes we were within 15m of a White rhino and her calf a thrilling memory which will stay with our group of four for life. This fantastic experience was repeated after another short walk through the scrub to where another rhino with a two year old they were relaxed with our presence, the youngster even taking the chance to suckle. Lots of photos taken Blessing guiding us all the time to the best positions. Blessings confident and reassuring control of the situation made us all feel perfectly safe. We moved on to the Livingston memorial where we were given an extremely well delivered history of Livingstone's time in Africa, on the hill where he is now buried. I've said enough, there is more, it's all good, book a trip and find out for yourselves.
Take this Tour!!!

5.00We booked The Best of Matopos tour with Bushmen Travel and had Blessing as our guide. We had an unforgettable tour tracking white rhinos on foot in the bush. Our experience was very exciting and thrilling, not to mention a total adrenaline rush when we were mock charged by a male rhino. Blessing was an excellent guide, and always put safety first! His passion and expertise made the tour even more enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the rhinos and everything related to Matopos National Park! We were also very awe struck by the amazing views at Worldsview! I would highly recommend doing The Best of Matopos tour with Blessing at Bushmen Travels!
Highly recommended
