  • Africa's Adventure Capital
    Go2Africa’s Guide To AFRICA’S ADVENTURE CAPITAL: VICTORIA FALLS We won’t show you the world; we’ll show you Africa, better than anyone else. GO2AFRICA’S GUIDE TO Victoria Falls is a picturesque town set on the banks of the Zambezi VICTORIA FALLS River overlooking its namesake, the world’s largest waterfall. The Falls belong to both Zambia and Zimbabwe, as the Zambezi marks their national boundary, but Victoria Falls Town is on the Zimbabwean side (Livingstone is on the Zambian side). Visitors have travelled here to see the Falls since 1905 and they’re a spectacular sight: the Zambezi thunders over a basalt ledge 1 708 metres (5 604 feet) wide and 108m (354ft) high. The local name Mosi-oa-Tunya (meaning ‘the smoke that thunders’) is perfectly apt as the roar of falling water can be heard 40 kilometres (25 miles) away while a 400m (1 312ft) column of mist floats above the drop. Water levels peak in April at about 500 million litres (over 13 million gallons), and drop to their lowest in October after the dry season. A visit to Victoria Falls is an easy add-on to a South Africa or Botswana safari and, since there is so much to do and see here, we recommend you spend at least three days having fun in Africa’s adventure capital. Go2Africa has been bringing travellers on safari since 1998. Our success is built on a simple promise: we’ll show you Africa, better than anyone else. We’ve explored every destination we sell and because we are 100% independent, we only recommend tried- and-tested hotels, lodges and activities.

  • The Natural Choice for Wildlife Holidays Welcome
    HOLIDAYS WITH 100% FINANCIAL PROTECTION The natural choice for wildlife holidays Welcome After spending considerable time and effort reflecting, questioning what we do and how we do it, and scrutinising the processes within our office and the systems we use for support, I am delighted to say that we are imbued with a new vigour, undiminished enthusiasm, and greater optimism than ever. My own determination to continue building on the solid foundation of twenty years of experience in wildlife tourism, since we started from very humble beginnings – to offer what is simply the finest selection of high quality, good value, tailor-made wildlife holidays – remains undaunted, and is very much at the core of all we do. A physical move to high-tech office premises in the attractive city of Winchester leaves us much better connected to, and more closely integrated with, the outside world, and thus better able to receive visitors. Our team is leaner, tighter, more widely travelled and more knowledgeable than ever before, allowing us to focus on terrestrial, marine and – along with Dive Worldwide – submarine life without distraction. In planning this brochure we deliberately set out to whet the appetite, and make no mention of either dates or prices. As the vast majority of trips are tailored to our clients’ exact requirements – whether in terms of itinerary, duration, standard of accommodation or price – the itineraries herein serve merely as indications of what is possible. Thereafter, you can refine these suggestions in discussion with one of our experienced consultants to pin down your precise needs and wants, so we can together create the wildlife holiday of your dreams.

    NATIONAL SUMMARY OF AERIAL CENSUS RESULTS FOR ELEPHANT IN ZIMBABWE: 2001 K.M. Dunham & C.S. Mackie WWF - SARPO Occasional Paper Number 1 June 2002 This census was carried out jointly by the Department of National Parks and Wild Life Management and WWF-SARPO (WWF Project No: ZW 0025). This report has also been published by the Department of National Parks and Wild Life Management. The 2001 aerial survey and this publication were made possible through support made available by the Office of USAID Harare under the terms of project 613-0241 and grant 690-0251-4-9001-00. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the view of USAID. This material has been produced by the authority of, and for the use of CAMPFIRE in Zimbabwe, for information purposes only. 1 SUMMARY The principal populations of elephants in Zimbabwe were surveyed from the air during the period July to October 2001. These populations are located in north-west Matabeleland, the Sebungwe region, the unflooded Middle Zambezi Valley and the south-east lowveld. The total area surveyed was 66 651 km2. This was the first time since 1998 that all these populations were studied during the same year. The surveys were sample counts and the methods followed those used during previous surveys. The Save Valley Conservancy was included in the national elephant survey for the first time. There were estimated to be 88 123 elephants (+/- 95 % confidence interval 8.0 %, or 7079 elephants) in the regions surveyed from the air. This was the highest and most precise estimate ever obtained for the total number of elephants in Zimbabwe’s principal populations.
