My family (6 people total) stayed at Muchenje Safari Lodge, for 4 nights and 5 days. I never have, and probably never will again, experience the magic felt during our stay. Our transfer from Victoria Falls was easy, comfortable and we really appreciated the water available for the trip. We arrived at Muchenje, and were greeted with drinks on arrival, and a personal welcome by two of the lovely managers, Jost and Evelyn. From here, our stay unravelled into a beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime experience, leaving us wanting to stay for longer, and making promises to be back as soon as we could! The intimate experience evolves from the personal greetings at arrival, the dinners spent with other guests, guides, and managers, and the personal attention that each member of the staff gives to each guest, all day and every day. I truly don't know how they have the energy to give 110% at all times! We left feeling like the team was a family at Muchenje, and we really appreciated that they welcomed us into this family for a few days. Our guide, Tips, went above and beyond every day. From early morning drives, to sundown drinks, to close-up experiences with the animals - he made sure that we had a truly special experience. He answered every question without a skip of a beat, on all topics - birds, animals, plants, trees, animal tracks, culture, community. His deep understanding and respect for the animals truly amazed us. More importantly, the kindness, passion and support that he shows to his local community did not go unnoticed, and was appreciated by all of us. To name a few (there were so many!) - Special highlights include the chef taking time to prepare some local spinach that we purchased from the local village, the security guard (Jack) walking us a bit past our room to go look at a baby elephant, the impeccable service by the waitresses every night, the chat with Jost by the fire, Bryan and Mulah ensuring that we always had a Pina Colada in our hand, visiting the local village with Tips, and the personal touches left after our room was meticulously cleaned every day. Thank you for a wonderful and special time at Muchenje Safari Lodge. We will spread the word to all of our friends and family, and will be back one day!
