From Our Clients

"There were many highlights of the trip but we think the camp at Shinde was the best. We loved being there and thought it was a real privilege to have had Bilippe (not sure of spelling) the Bushman as our guide. He was fantastic and made the game drives a real excitement. We were also impressed with the management of Richard and Olivia at Shinde. Muchenje was also fabulous and we loved the game drives there. Got some great footage of three lion cubs there and these with the footage of a leopard that Bilippe tracked at Shinde were the best footage we got. We had a great time and met some great people and saw some great game - lions at Muchenje, leopard at Shinde and wild dogs at Lagoon. As is said Shinde was the most enjoyable. Once again many thanks for your assistance and we are already looking at next year."
