Hi everyone. We will be at the Safari Show at Parklands in Harare on the 29th of November and look forward to meeting old and new friends there. Will be showcasing our incredible Birding as well as our lovely relaxing self catering cottages. See you there! Regards, Ken and Sue Worsley.

This wonderful review was received from recent guests!

Seldom Seen Birding
Debbie and I have just spent 2 days at this Birding paradise!
It is such a delight to see so many birds, and such a lovely forest / montane variety of species in one place... that your head spins to try and catch all the delightful little characters flitting around you in that beautiful patch of Vumba forest! The dawn chorus is awesome... a bird walk with Bulwesi is a must... he has his forest birds on tap , including their nests, with a keen ear and sharp eye for the furtive species that are vocal but hard to see.... on a late walk in the forest he picked up the presence of a precocious little Swynnertons Robin that was investigating us within only a meter or two in the dense, dark, tangeled growth... like a little mouse on the forest floor, giving us only an occasional glimpse of his beautiful front..
Ken and Sue Worsley have done a great job of care taking & managing that patch of beautiful forest (and beyond it too), and making it accessible with a network of well sited, environmentally sensitive and maintained pathways... making it a sheer delight to explore.

Hi everyone! Due to the changes in the Zimbabwe Company Tax Regulations we have been forced to register Seldomseen for VAT and therefore have had to increase our prices by the regulated 15%. We very much regret having to do this but do hope you will all continue to support us!! With kind regards, Ken and Sue.

For $30 per person per night and only 4 hours from Harare in the Bvumba Mountains, this could be just what you need from a weekend to reset after the start of a new year 🫶🌍
