Mozambique, Kruger and Gonarezhou 2023 - E4: Wild 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!

Might have to put that on the list. Enjoyed that.

You should! It’s amazing!

What was the average consumption on that raptor for the trip?

[@EpicAfrica]

Over the 3000km we travelled from home and back the avg was 22L/100km (it was to high for our liking) so we are in a Wildtrak V6 Diesel now

[@coadyg]

Another great video series 👏

[@EpicAfrica]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@coadyg]

He's got a bush lapa, that's why he dont have a beer in hand. Get a stealth cub, and you will have a beer in hand in 5 minutes 😉

[@EpicAfrica]

Bushlapa folk drink brandy! 🥃
