A new tour operator, the Zimbabwe Safari Collective, has been launched to stimulate tourism to a selection of five camps and lodges owned and operated by Zimbabwean citizens.
The properties promoted by the group are located in Mana Pools and Hwange National Park, and at Lake Kariba. Camps include Chitembe Main Camp and Chitembe Tented Camp in Mana Pools, Malindi Station Camp in Hwange, Makuti Mountain Camp in the remote Hurungwe Safari Area, and Cutty Sark Hotel at Lake Kariba.
The collective offers a variety of standard, specialist and expedition safari packages ranging from three to nine nights, and self-drive safaris of between six and 13 nights.
Activities in the packages range from game drives and bush walks to boat cruises, fishing, para-sailing and water skiing, along with cultural and conservation experiences.
The initiative highlights its commitment to:
- Local ownership: Ensuring revenues remain in Zimbabwean communities.
- Authentic experiences: Offering grounded and personal safari stays.
- Affordable luxury: Providing high-quality experiences at competitive rates.
