Itineraries

Zimanga which means “miracle” in Zulu is exactly that for photography enthusiasts, whether your passion is the big five or birds. The wildlife is abundant and the hides are ...well, I’m not sure the hides exist anywhere else in the world. A picture says a thousand words...so here are just a few I took on my iphone... Oh, and the lodge is 5 star by normal standards. By bush standards I rate them 500 stars. The staff, simply exceptional and super friendly beyond any expectation. - christinaanywhere April 2019

Unparalleled Photo Safari Experience

This reserve is such a special place. Completely geared towards wildlife photography. I am a novice and after a week here with two professional wildlife photographers, Steve and Ann Toon, I was taking the most incredible photos, which I am extremely proud of. The animals are respected and plentiful. The accommodation is luxury, beautiful place to stay. The food is endless and delicious, such a great. Our guide Hendri was knowledgeable and a talented tracker. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. I will definitely be returning... I can't recommend highly enough - Grrranville June 2019

Most amazing trip of my life

I have visited Zimanga on two occasions now and each time I have been awestruck by the facilities, guides, catering, accommodation and most of all the amazing opportunity to take unique photographs of all manner of African animals in the wild. The facilities and accessibility are world class -Tadman2, Huddersfield UK, June 2018

Probably the most remarkable venue for seeing and photographing African wildlife and enjoying the ultimate hospitality

This year was our third visit and won't be our last. Zimanga gives a whole new dimension to wildlife photography and is available to all who visit. To maximise the opportunities a 7 day package is a must as there is ample time to experience all the photographic hides and get those' once in a lifetime spectacular images'. Southern African wildlife 'up close and personal' like you cannot imagine. We love this place! - BongoBickford Auckland, New Zealand. Oct 2019

A Wildlife Photographers Dream Come True!

The very reason why photographers visit Zimanga- the hides. Everything in the hide is as depicted on their website. Shooting pictures was never more exciting than in any of the hides. We spent 4 nights staying at Zimanga and we returned with a hard drive filled with shots I would want to print. - swayam92 Mumbai, India. Dec 2019
