“A Dream Come True”

“I went with my dad to do the Great Zambezi 9 day River Safari. It was spectacular!! It is impossible to put the feelings in writing, you just have to experience yourself. Our whole adventure was as perfect as it could possible be. Anthony organised everything for us, he is definitely the guy you want to contact if you thinking about discovering the Zambezi.”
