“How lucky for so many that Tim chose the beautiful MV Matusadona and put her into service on Lake Kariba; and how lucky for John and me that our lives were presented an opportunity to be carried by her in the most lovely way, through the most serene scenery of Zimbabwe, with the most perfect weather.

We are very fortunate to have been so kindly and exemplarily cared for by Wilson, William and Naison, and by our brilliant naturalist guide and fishing instructor, Carl. We ate well, relaxed and rested well, and learned a "boatload"!

As difficult as it is to leave, we go with happy and nourished souls, and with the hope to be able to return one day.

Our sincere and warm thanks to each of you, and best wishes to you all, always.” - Guest Review
