Tyron Hurst
Tyron grew up outside Bulawayo city, Zimbabwe, in a rural area where he spent many days outdoors with his older brother, riding his bicycle, building forts and fishing. After serving as an apprentice guide for several years in the Hwange area, he began guiding professionally at 22. Since then, he has worked in the lower Zambezi valley, Hwange, and Matopos regions. Notably, Tyron developed his concern for protecting rhinos during his time in Matopos after becoming aware of the declining population, and began his conservationist efforts. He is based at Nehimba Lodge in northern Hwange National Park.
Ibahle Sibanda
Sibs - our Hwange head guide - has been guiding professionally for over 15 years. Zimbabwe has stringent guide licensing regulations and our pro-guides are widely recognized as some of the best in Africa. Sibs has a world of experience in the region, having worked for several outfitters and operators. He also spent a year in Botswana, working as a cultural guide with the San people of the Kalahari Desert. Sibs' passion and working knowledge of Western Zimbabwe's people, parks and ecosystems adds great value to each MT Sobek adventure in the region.
Harris Mupedzi
Harris started his career as a boat captain before becoming an assistant guide in Matusadona National Park. He has spent the past 11 years as lead guide in the Mashonaland West province, Matusadona National Park and much of northern Mozambique before taking on the additional role as the assistant manager to two of the area's most popular lodges: Ibo Lodge and Cabo Delgado.
Elephant encounters, game-watching, open-air rail safari, and hikes. Guided bush walks, meeting locals, and canoeing down the Zambezi River with picnics alfresco.
Landscape-inspired campsites, lodges and fly camps nestled in remote wilderness, with opportunities to sleep beneath the African sky.
The weather is pleasant throughout the year - warm/hot days and cooler nights. May to August can be chilly at night and in the early morning.
What is a typical day like on a safari?
There are usually two game drives or walks each day with one in the morning lasting around three to five hours and one in the late afternoon lasting about three hours.
Is it safe to travel in Zimbabwe?
Yes. Petty theft does happen in the cities so take care to not display any valuables and it's important to be sensible in wilderness areas around wildlife. While on safari, your guide is an expert on wildlife and takes your safety very seriously so you must follow their directions.
Do I need to worry about malaria or other health concerns?
We always recommend you speak to your doctor or a health professional about vaccinations and malaria tablets well in advance of your safari. At present, certain areas of Zimbabwe are affected by malaria.
What are the biking and walking conditions like?
The biking and walking will be on flat trails along inter-dune troughs.
What game can I expect to see on this trip?
The areas that you will visit are famous for large populations of elephants, cheetahs, lions and wild dogs. You may also encounter sables, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, hippos and a variety of birdlife.
Does this trip contribute to any local conservation efforts?
Yes! Each group has an opportunity to participate in a pump-run to help borehole water pump attendants. To date, this initiative's 19 boreholes inside Hwange National Park pump 700,000 liters of water and help sustain 20-25% of its wildlife.
"Great experience every time with some of the most knowledgeable guides in their fields. We always come home with wonderful memories of the people we meet and things we see."
