We had a marvellous trip to Kariba, Matusadona and Hwange. Our stay at Changa was so luxurious, especially the food! The Hide was fabulous - we do enjoyed the game drives. Thank you, Travel Portfolio!

Thank you so much Ruvimbo for organising our trip to Victoria Falls – we had a lovely time at both Victoria Falls Safari Suites and Old Drift, and thank you Hayley for all your advice, contacts and assistance with the wedding planning. We could not fault any part of our trip and can't thank you both enough.

Just had the most amazing weekend at Kavinga, a special place and incredible game viewing. Our highlight was the big herd of buffalo drinking at the waterhole while we were in the Hide as well as the fright we got to find two male lions waiting for us outside! Hayley Idensohn - thank you so much for organising it for us!

A huge thank you to Hayley and the Travel Portfolio team. We had an amazing, long-awaited vacation. For a trip that was first planned for June of 2020, their patient juggling of dates and places in the midst of the ever-changing restrictions and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic along with their responsiveness to our wishes and budget requirements, made it all come together perfectly- a true feat in these challenging times. The final trip, spent at Elephant Camp and Old Drift in Victoria Falls could not have been nicer. Both camps provide absolute luxury while maintaining the feel of the bush. Across the board, staff were friendly, warm and extremely responsive and accommodating. Elephant Camp gave us the incredible experience of interacting with elephants, while Old Drift had the plus of being right on the bank of the Zambezi river- providing gorgeous views as well as a river game drive complete with hippos, waterbuck, crocodiles, and an array of unusual and beautiful birds. If you're planning a vacation in this part of the world, I can't recommend Travel Portfolio highly enough.
Delighted that your extension trip all came together after the main group decided to cancel and your extension dates had to defer / change repeatedly due to covid challenges impacting travel. Thank you for your kind words and so pleased that you so enjoyed your trip.Look forward to working with you and your colleagues in the future. Best wishes.Hayley

I had to book short notice for half term break for myself and my two young kids to Victoria falls. Hayley and Tracy managed to book return flights for us and also a lovely hotel stay at the exclusive Old Drift Lodge inside Zambezi national park and right on the banks of the Zambezi River. They also booked our hotel transfers to and from the airport.... all of this in a matter of hours!
Our stay in Victoria falls at Old Drift was a wonderful experience packed with many activities and awesome memories. I highly recommend Travel Portfolio. Five stars for helping us create such great memories.
Thank you for the lovely review and delighted you and your twins had such a lovely time in Victoria Falls on your trip back to Zimbabwe. Thank you for all the action-packed photos! We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Team Travel Portfolio

After booking at the last minute, thank you Travel Portfolio for arranging and helping us choose a magical honeymoon destination. We experienced a hiccup with our halaal meat. Hayley from Travel Portfolio sorted it out smoothly and ensured the trip of our dreams. We arrived at Caribbea Bay Marineland an hour late for our boat transfer to Changa Safari Camp. (Hayley from Travel Portfolio kindly arranged with Avoca Marine to wait for us/ to delay the departure time for us after puncturing a tyre en route). After a 45min boat transfer we arrived at Changa and were collected by the camp tour guide Greg and taken by jeep to the camp entrance. We were greeted by the Camp's Manager Cher and given a talk about the camp/our stay along with a temperature check. The camp was a beautifully designed rustic getaway which has been built in a way that is considerate of the ecology and minimises the environmental impact on the flora & fauna of the camp. With soft, biodegradable fixtures and furnishings....wooden boardwalks leading to all tents, it is literally a hotel in the bush. The attention to detail by the camp and its catering staff was second to none. Chef Tanaka's 3 course lunch and dinner menus were exceptional and made meal times dining by candlelight in the wild a unique experience. The camp also offers a number of tours at additional cost including Fishing tours on the Sanyati River, Safaris and The River Gorge sunset boat cruise. We opted for the River Gorge cruise which was very relaxing and gave us views of Hippo's, Crocodiles, Fish Eagles and a beautiful Kariba Sunset. My wife and I also utilised the camp's spa services and had 2 very relaxing massages from Peta. I can't recommend Changa Safari Camp highly enough for its quality of service, friendly & professional staff and the wow factor it delivers across all areas in providing a relaxing, romantic, back to nature getaway.

50th birthday treat with Stretch Ferreira Safaris in Mana Pools. We had the most amazing time. Very special time with family. I just can't find the right words to explain our trip. It definitely will be a life-long memory which we will treasure. The family were very sad to leave Stretch's camp. Thank you so much for organising the trip for us. We will tell you more about our awesome adventure when we see you next. Besides the time at the camp on the Zambezi River, our day trip to Chitake was incredible – as well as witnessing approximately 300 buffalo coming to drink. Thank you so much for including this special birthday extra for us!

Excellent trip thanks Hayley. One of the best wild life experiences I have had in a long time. Kavinga Safari Camp is highly recommended. Thank you to Travel Portfolio for organising our trip.
I saw Nancy and she confirmed the sightings of cats was incredible. Cats and a whole lot more!!! Delighted to hear and a pleasure. Look forward to working with you again in the future! Team Travel Portfolio

We had the most amazing time at Spurwing. They are amazing and so accommodating to families with young children ... staff are so friendly and helpful. It does help having your own boat ... didn't realize how easy it was and how jacked they are for individuals having their own boat. I am so very grateful to Travel Portfolio for working with us and ensuring our holiday was exactly what we wanted. You definitely go the extra mile and give thorough advice, thank you!! Last minute changes were accommodated and no matter the time you were always there to assist.

I would like to express our thanks and gratitude in your company's organising of our holiday within Zimbabwe.
The booking process experience was great as you gave us a lot of information allowing us to make the necessary decisions on what we wanted to do.
We were also impressed with the proposed itinerary that you provided us with links to the relevant areas, which enabled us to capture the essence of our trip, before doing it, and, confirmed that what we were planning, indeed, was what we wanted.
As you know we had many different destinations and activities planned at each destination.
Everything went smoothly and, as a result, we had a great time.
Thank you again - we look forward to planning our next trip through you.

Took a family of 4 from the US on a 12 day safari. Heyley handled all the arrangements without a hitch!!!!!This included 2 different camps and 3 bush pilots. She communicates swiftly and clearly. I highly recommend her. Zimbabwe is a safe and wonderful place regardless of the transition it is experiencing. Go visit, its future is bright!!!!
