Mozambique, Kruger and Gonarezhou 2023 - E3: Into Zimbabwe

We are so excited to share another EPIC family adventure with you!
On this trip, we had to pack for the beach and the bush, staying in both luxurious villa accommodation in Mozambique, rustic tents in the Kruger Park, and wild camping in Gonarezhou National Park of Zimbabwe!
Our adventure started in KZN, and below is the list of places we stayed along the way:
1. Blue Waves @ Aloha, Ponta Mamoli, Mozambique - rented exclusively, this villa sleeps 14 people in 5 bedrooms. See rates and book at www.alohabluewaves.com
2. Royal Marlothi, Marloth Park, outside Kruger National Park in South Africa. Will stay elsewhere next time.
3. Tamboti Camp, Kruger National Park - various tents available, loved this spot! Booking on www.sanparks.org
4. Was meant to be Dumela Wilderness Safaris outside of Pafuri in Mozambique but we missed the border time! So we stayed at Punda Maria Camp in Kruger. Booking on www.sanparks.org
5. Gorwe Pan in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe - we booked with Ultimate Routes (www.ultimateroutes.co.za) who assisted us with choosing camps etc. We enjoyed the isolation of this camp but there was a lack of shade.
6. Chinguli Camp in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe - we booked with Ultimate Routes (www.ultimateroutes.co.za). One of the developed camps, we really enjoyed it here, facing natural rocks and a small gorge of the Runde River!
7. Chiljo Cliff, Campsite 1 in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe - we booked with Ultimate Routes (www.ultimateroutes.co.za) - wow guys, its right at the top of our list for best campsites we have ever stayed at!
8. Chipinda Pools Camp in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe - we booked with Ultimate Routes (www.ultimateroutes.co.za). One of the developed camps, we really enjoyed it here too, right in the Rune River!

Glad you also enjoyed Gonarezhou. Wow awesome seeing the lions. We saw no predators there at all in the 8 days we were there . Got the truck properly stuck on that river bed at Fishans 😂👏

Send the pics if possible. Thanks

[@EpicAfrica]

Thanks for the comment! We were very luck but I think over time they will get used to more cars being around and the sightings will improve. My mate Edward Bath saw Wild Dog on his trip there this year.

Awosame bro

[@lianduplessis5214]

Hi Epic Africa family, thanks again for a lekker video...in that heat without shade I guess there is a high probability that you might get thirstier than the Raptor 🤣 Always enjoy your videos, thank you - safe travels 🍻

[@EpicAfrica]

Thanks very much! Yea both the raptor and us were very thirsty LOL

[@jordanbarber6486]

Great video, Can you fly a drone in Zim parks?

[@ncubesays]

I live just outside Matobo National Park and technically no you can't but from my experience have had no issues. As in most countries, your drone needs to be registered to fly in general.

[@EpicAfrica]

Thanks so much for the comment! We used drone content that a friend of mine took as he got the go ahead from the parks reception for scenic/landscape shots.

[@LSGTVSA]

Didn't you say you've sold your raptor or is this an old video that was only released today?

[@ToxxicMafia]

this was October 2023

[@EpicAfrica]

Yes sorry this was in Oct 2023 and we slod the raptor in Dec 2023. We just way late on getting our content out lol
