Explore the Zambezi River and the game parks of Zimbabwe. Starting in 1989 Bio Bio co owners Marc and Laurence, spent three seasons working as full time guides on the Zambezi River and have more than 150 descents of the river! We forged life long friendships and partnerships with many of the locals Since then we have returned almost every year with our groups and our welcoming is like a warm homecoming. .
There is no other river on the plant with whitewater as big and fun as the Zambezi. The warm water makes for even more-enjoyable rafting. August - October are the best months to see game and experience the Zambezi. It is the end of the dry season and all of the animals come down to the banks of the river to drink, swim and frolic in the shallows. The bush has been either eaten or has died down, so seeing the animals is much easier. (In the wet season there is so much fresh green foliage that the animals hide in the thicket or scatter to drinking holes hidden away).
Zimbabwe has all the infrastructure of a modern country and has a highly developed and protected national park system. This has allowed the wildlife to thrive and the elephant herds of Botswana and Zimbabwe are among the largest and most protected of Africa. The game viewing in Zimbabwe is simply the best, and you will not be over run by the herds of tourists often found in East Africa. We look forward to sharing this spectacular adventure with you.
Hi Marc Fantastic trip! Jane and I had a great time, experienced some very fun and positive things we had not experienced before and made some great friends. ( I am not sure what we were thinking getting strapped on the gorge swing!) The Zambezi and Victoria Falls is something everyone should enjoy at least once in their lifetime. Attempting to boogie board a class IV rapid was a fun but humbling experience. The people and especially the guides we encountered were all very friendly and concerned with keeping us safe while still having fun. Good brief from Brent prior to departure on river portion. Hwange National Park was beautiful. The Somalisa lodge was not to be missed and great service to boot. Wildlife was up close and personal. A feeding elephant actually bumped the support lines for the tent one night and shook the tent. What a thrill! We very much enjoyed the character and charm of the Vic Falls Hotel and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this trip to anyone whether they have ever picked up a paddle or not.
