Wonderful to see the white rhinos - We booked this tour specifically to see the white rhinos which we did do, accompanied by the armed rangers who guard the animals. For many people this was enough and all they wanted. I wonder if any tour company will offer this short sighting on its own for those people? I think it would be very popular. We however happily continued on the rest of the safari and enjoyed it with a stop for a small picnic. Our guide Bright was very good, very cheerful and knowledgeable,but animal wise possibly not the best quality compared to other parks? We really enjoyed having the opportunity to spend time watching the rhinos however. Regarding the tour operator, they were very good, arranging for our transport to the Zambia border where we were collected. We decided to spend the afternoon in Zambia and visit The Royal Livingstone for lunch, such an amazing setting and then we took very short taxi ride to the Zambian side of the falls. We walked to the border and our driver from the morning changed plans and came to take us back to our hotel at 6 p.m, much appreciated.

Whole package! - Blessing was awesome! So knowledgeable and kind. Was able to give us a great experience with the rhinos while keeping us safe. Love all the history he was able to provide at the cave painting sites and at Rhodes’ grave. Our elderly grandfather was able to join for the drive and sat in the cab. Blessing was so courteous and thoughtful in his interactions.

Rhinos - This was one of our favorites..Blessing informed us where we were going, how far we would have to walk, how to be when we would see the rhinos..and how not to be. He met with two men that had seen the rhinos earlier that day and they came along with us, protecting us and keeping us company. Seeing the rhinos in their own environment was surreal…being in their environment was equally as surreal…

Excellent and Unique Experience in Matobo National Park - I did the rhino encounter tour at Matobo NP with Blessing as my guide and it was excellent. We was able to safely get close to a group of 5 rhino and also saw some great examples of bushmen rock paintings as well as a nice view of the park from the worlds view area. Blessing was a top guy and I very much enjoyed my afternoon with him. Thanks mate for a great trip!

A memorable experience - This tour became an unforgettable day that I enjoyed very much.
It began with the walk tracking the Rhinos, we found two groups of them, in one of the groups there was even a calf, we learned a lot about these animals and how to find them and approach them safely, the guide made sure to explain everything to us and guided us step by step in this adventure in a very safe way.
Then the tour through Matobo park, it is a place with an amazing landscape, out of the ordinary, we climbed a hill to see the landscape and visited a cave with rock painting.
I finish the tour with food and drinks.
Highly recommended both the tour and the service of the guide who at all times made sure that we had a good experience.

Amazing tours with a knowledgeable and passionate guide - Blessing, our tour guide is vey passionate and knowledgeable on all things Zimbabwe. He took us on a tour of the park and we had a close encounter with 5 white rhinos. He later prepared an amazing bbq lunch in the picnic area to top off an incredible day. Our tour was so incredible that we took the Bolawayo city and township tour with him the next day. Another memorable experience!

Must do experience - This is definitely the experience of a lifetime. To be so close to the wild rhinos, and to be guided by such an experienced team of trackers is well worth the cost and effort. Blessings is an excellent guide and host and takes time to explain the process of tracking, and has lots of information about the flora and fauna you pass. At the end of the trip we shared an excellent quality plate of snacks and cold drinks with the guides. Brilliant day by any standards.
