During a cold and rainy evening in Europe we came to the idea to travel to Africa. "A 'once in a lifetime experience' with the entire family". Plans came together and a year later we took the plane to set off to South Africa. All kind of expectations but no one really knows what to expect... Immediately we felt at home with Ritchard and Robbie, our guide buddies during the trip.
They did all they could do to make this the trip of our life. Travelling with Imagina Africa Safaris was luxurious, relaxing, beautifull, adventurous and fun all together. Seeying wild dogs hunt in front of the 4x4, snorkeling half a meter away from a whale sharks, driving with quad bikes through the villages, get…

Just a quick note to let you know that everything for our trip to Zimbabwe was perfectly organised – thank you so much!!
We had a great time and even caught some reasonably big tiger fish at Chikwenya (see pictures) – the biggest was 6.5kg!
Both of the lodges were very nice and we will tell you all about it when we are in Hoedspruit again in December (22 – 30 December).
Keep well, cold and foggy regards from Uster

Katima Mulilo, a fast developing centre, is the administrative centre of the Caprivi region as well as the area's main settlement. The Lozi name means 'to quench the fire' and is probably a reference to burning embers carried by travellers, which were often extinguished by the river crossing at Mbova Rapids. The town lies on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, which forms the boundary with Zambia. The town ok Katima was established in 1935 by the British Colonial force to replace the previous German colonial regional capital at Schuckmannsburg.
The wide, slow-flowing Zambezi River is edged with tall, lush trees, tropical birds and monkeys, with lolling hippo and crocs reminding everyone who's in charge of the waters. Elephants are frequent visitors the river banks for a drink and a bath, and ornithologists of all levels only have to take a short walk along the river's banks to tick-off a wide variety of species.
