Luxury in the bush

IMAGINE AFRICA

Planning a trip

WHERE IN AFRICA

Planning a trip to Africa can feel overwhelming, but we are here to guide. In our initial conversation, the right country typically unveils itself after uncovering your vision, passions and comfort levels.

Each country has it’s own color – culture, landscape, lodges, wildlife, history, experiences, formality / informality, comforts, services…

Our advice is usually to commit to one country, as each has so much to offer, and save other endeavors for the future. At times, an ‘add on’ to the beach, to Cape Town, or Victoria Falls at the end of a safari offers the perfect compliment.

Explore Africa

My family and I traveled with Mavros Safaris and experienced places we never could have found on our own. Our lodges were private with amazing guiding. The staff were are always willing to go the extra mile. We saw so many animals and the kids just loved the up close experiences with the wildlife. Genevieve Burns Kenya, July 2021

It was only in November 1855 that he set off down the Zambezi River to find for himself 'The Smoke That Thunders' – Mosi oa Tunya 💦 He travelled down the Zambezi River on foot and spent the night on Kalai Island a few kilometres upstream of the Falls. The next morning he set off in a dug out canoe guided by the locals who knew the river well. As they approached the falls they could see the columns of spray appearing in the sky and could hear the roar of the waterfall. This indeed appeared exactly like smoke rising from the ground." - 💬 Victoria Falls Guide. Travellers and visitors to Victoria Falls are able to visit the Falls on foot on both the Zimbabwean and Zambian side, as well as Livingstone Island. Even better, there are helicopter flights that soar above the falls which really gives visitors a feel for the sheer magnificence of the waterfall. 🎥 @iwillgotravel #mavrossafaris #victoriafalls #davidlivingstone #africanhistory #zimbabwe #zambia #victoriafallszimbabwe #whywelovenature #naturalworldwonder #safaridreaming #thisisafrica$
