vacation to Zimbabwe & South Africa
Lisa Thompson, 11th June 2025This was a trip of a lifetime! Every bit exceeded our expectations from start to finish - from the elegant Victoria Falls and Chundu Island, Stunning Atzaro in Cape Town to the amazing Chitwa Chitwa game lodge in the Kruger National Park - all coordinated to perfection by Mahlatini.
Accommodation Visited
Chundu Island
“Chundu Island is perfectly located for a combination of visiting Victoria Falls, as well as a game safari along the banks of the Zambezi River. The lodge is located on the small, private Chundu Island, in the Zambezi River, just a very short boat ride from the shore. The staff were extremely welcoming and couldn't do enough to ensure we enjoyed our 4-day stay at Chundu Island. The staff organised morning and evening safaris, a trip to the falls as well as a number of other activities such as fishing on the Zambezi!”
Atzaro Cape Town
“Atzaro is absolutely stunning! This very exclusive, modern boutique hotel is located at the base of Table Mountain, only a short taxi ride from the waterfront in Cape Town. The rooms are large and extremely well-appointed, and all of the facilities at Atzaro are first class. The staff are so friendly and professional and provide a wonderful service and quality of stay.”
Chitwa Chitwa Private Game Lodge
“Chitwa Chitwa Game Lodge exceeded all of our expectations by far!! Our suite was absolutely fabulous - large, comfortable and beautifully decorated. The general area and grounds of the lodge are stunning and the staff are exceptional. The quality of the food served is excellent and the service is impeccable. The lodge is located in the Sabi Sands game reserve in the Kruger National Park which is abundant with animals so that the early morning and late afternoon game drives are packed full of action!”
