Rhinos, rock paintings and the Cecil Rhodes grave site - Pick up was on time and the drive to Matobo NP took some 30 min. Straight away we saw two rhinos in the park and approached them, taking photos and video clips for my YouTube channel. We spent around 25 min with the rhinos and left them for the San rock paintings close by. The paintings are just like them in Brandberg, Namibia, but older. This was where my tour would have ended, but I added on the Matopos Hills monument part, where Cecil Rhodes grave is found, a historical site in Zimbabwe. I had an excellent day with plenty of really good footage!!

Unforgettable Rhino Tracking Adventure with Bushmen Travel Co. - We had an amazing trip tracking white rhinos with Bushmen Travel in Matobo National Park! The experience was both thrilling and humbling as we walked through the bush guided by Blessing, whose expertise and passion made it unforgettable. Getting so close to these majestic creatures in their natural habitat was truly magical. We also learned about the incredible efforts of the park rangers who protect these endangered animals, which gave us a deeper appreciation for conservation. The stunning landscapes and a beautiful sunset with sundowners made the day even more special. Highly recommend this unforgettable adventure!

Wonderful nature experience with a gifted and passionate guide! - We were part of a safari tour which included this half-day tour of a Rhino encounter and visiting the Matobo Hills (World's View) area. Blessing was our guide, and he was phantastic! He shared so much information with us and was obviously very, very experienced with the country and the animals. He gave us great instructions which allowed a wonderful time visiting and observing a rhino cow with its calf. Blessing's love for his country, for the animals, for the community there and for the area is so obvious and was contageous. He made it one of the absolute highlights of our 16-day tour. I would recommend a tour with him at any time!

Amazing trip to track white rhinos in Motobo National Park - I am the only guest for tracking white rhinos trip today, it was such a wonderful private tour and the tour guide Blessing took me to meet white rhinos for two times during the trip in Matobo National Park. Highly Recommended!

Once in a life time experience - Absolutely a must when in Bumlawayo.
Blessing brought us incredible close to the rhinos and is a walking library.
All was on time, well planned and operated.
Well worth doing.
We also did the best of Matopos and the Bulawayo town tour which was awesome as well.

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…
