Area in Focus

At over 5,000 square kilometres, Gonarezhou is the second largest national park in Zimbabwe, but is still largely undiscovered by the outside world. Aptly translating as ‘ Land of the Elephants’, in this remote corner of Zimbabwe, you’ll find some of the largest in the country.

Your Contribution

We work in some of the most ecologically and culturally sensitive parts of the world, so have always been conscious of operating in a way that has a positive impact on both the environment and the people.

When you travel with us, we will make a contribution on your behalf to one of the following charities: All About the Light Foundation in Africa, ABOUTAsia Travel & Schools in Cambodia, the Alalay Foundation in Bolivia and Scott Polar Research Institute in the Polar Regions.

If clients are interested, we are always keen to get them involved in local projects and conservation efforts. Whether it be whale counting in Antarctica or rhino relocation in Kenya, you will leave knowing your actions have made a difference.

Flights, Getting to + Navigating the Airport

Our service includes booking and managing all your international and domestic flights. However, you can also book your own international flights if you would prefer. We can also organise private charters and private jet travel for both international and domestic flights.

We have a fantastic VIP service in place to help you navigate the airport and make your journey as smooth and easy as possible. We can collect you from your home, take you to the airport and escort you through check-in and immigration to avoid any queues, straight through to the airport lounge before boarding your flight. The same service can be put in place on your return journey.

Flexibility

We understand that one of the most important factors to our clients is flexibility to give you as much assurance as possible when booking your next trip. We are extremely flexible and are on hand to discuss with you the latest updates on flexibility in any one of our destinations.

Insurance

We have excellent relationships with a handful of insurance companies who provide various forms of cover. Each one offers a different policy with varying terms and conditions, so we strongly recommend getting a series of quotes and discussing your personal requirements in detail with them in order to find the best one for you.

Protection

Booking and travelling with an accredited tour operator is more important than ever. cazenove+loyd is a bonded tour operator and is ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Our ATOL number is 3208. This means that the UK government guarantees all funds paid out to a bonded operator and is bound to pay in full if the bond holder is unable to deliver as contracted. This gives our clients peace of mind and full financial protection. Please see our booking conditions for further information.

Safety + Sanitation

We have put the relevant measures in place so that our destinations are ready to welcome you safely. In all of our destinations, sanitation and hygiene in our vehicles and the properties we work with are extensive, with cleaning protocols rigidly followed as well as other necessary safety requirements. We always arrange private vehicles and guides for our clients when travelling in a destination.

Pricing + Payments

The price of our service is dependent on the intricacies of the itinerary. No two trips are the same. Our philosophy is to make every detail tailored just to you.

Testimonials

Stories from Zimbabwe

We had a wonderful trip. A huge thank you for putting together a fabulous itinerary. We enjoyed each and every day and all went without a hitch. From the moment we arrived at our first camp, Old Drift Lodge, we were taken off on an afternoon safari. The camp was outstanding, showcasing glamping at its finest, with each tent overlooking the magnificent Zambezi River and just a few kilometres upstream from the breathtaking Victoria Falls. The wildlife was extensive, especially since the camp was at the water’s edge. The highlight experience for us, was a very close encounter with a herd of elephants making their way to the river for an evening drink, which coincidently was exactly what we were doing when they approached. Our guide quickly and quietly ushered us back to the safety of our vehicle, where we were then held captive for a few minutes by a large and very curious female elephant who was clearly feeling a little peckish – because she began eating all the nibbles our guide had so beautifully set out for us to have with our gin and tonics. Terrifying and hilarious all at the same time!

"I think my highlight was, overall, the quality of the people and the welcome and the intelligence/insight of the guides and the sense of being privileged to be in a place that's not in any way swamped. It's hard to pick a highlight. I loved Hwange for being in a world where elephants are in charge, and Mana Pools for the open landscape and the profusion of the wildlife, and Matetsi for the position of the camp and the lovely people who work there. Victoria Falls felt more mainstream by comparison though when we walked to the gorge at the end of the falls I felt very moved by the unbelievable beauty of the place. I cried twice in Zimbabwe - once watching elephants at very close quarters, so close I could hear them breathe and drink, and once in the place I just mentioned, listening to the gospel singing of some people on the Zambian side float across, and I am not easily moved to tears by such things!"
