Title: Rediscovering Zimbabwe
Speaker: John Berry & Chris Worden
Company: The Zambezi Safari & Travel Co. Ltd

Zambezi Safaris offer a simplified approach to planning an African Safari depending on whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveller.  John and Chris look at East and Southern Africa and cover the “Where, why and when for first-timers” with suggestions on the best choices at different times of year. 

• In East Africa a general overview of Tanzania and Kenya is presented.  The annual wildebeest migration is explained briefly with some advice on best timing and how to combine a migration safari with other wildlife spots and the East African coast. 

• Southern Africa has great diversity, excellent wildlife with a broad range of safari options to suit all tastes and budgets.  An overview of the seasons, main destinations with highlights from Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique is presented.

The discussion continues with suggestions and tips on how seasoned travellers might satisfy specific interests in birding, primates, big game, history and culture and more.  So whether you’re looking for something active or sedate, mainstream or unusual anywhere in Africa this is a presentation not to be missed.
