Save this post for next time you’re wondering what questions to ask before booking accommodation in Africa!
We loved our time in Hwange National Park - and we knew how to set our expectations.
I saw a great post recently which said that safari lodges should not be compared to hotels - the expectations should be different.
This is very true.

From the early days of his career, Sir David Attenborough has showcased Zimbabwe's wonders and wildlife to the world. Thank you, Sir, and happy 100th birthday!
Particularly, he was filmed in Victoria Falls, Mana Pools National Park, and Great Zimbabwe Monument in the following series:
Zambezi (1965): Ep. 2 The Ancient Highway. BBC.
Dynasties (2018): Ep. 4 Painted Wolf. BBC.
Zimbabwe is shown in many more of his shows though, including Africa (2013), Plante Earth (2006), and Seven Worlds (2019).
If you have BBC iPlayer, you can catch up on his gems!
