Right from when I started researching the trip in November last year, Bryony has been an absolute... star. Nothing was ever too much hassle, especially with the rigours of trying to effect payment then!

Then the houseboat in Kariba! What an amazing trip we had on the Ponty, and once again Bryony organised transfers and things on the spot, awesome and a big thank you to you and Char, the Ponty was the highlight of our Zim Epic!

I cannot recommend Bryony and Heartveld Adventures enough, was so good to meet you at Charara,

Cheers and thanks again

When planning our trip to Zimbabwe we came across Bryony by chance using google. Boy were we lucky.... We wanted a houseboat on Kariba and gave the task to Bryony. We’d already got flights from Harare to Kariba booked which she kindly offered to arrange as well. Anyway, from the moment we arrived in Kariba Airport we were in looked after. Transport was arrange to collect our party of 5 and bring us to the Big 5 Lodge for one night. The advice we got was to get on the houseboat early so we had a look around Kariba ready for an early start the next day. We got a lift from the lodge manager to the dam and he gave us a tour of it which was informative and interesting. The Big 5 Lodge was a great suggestion and we had dinner there as well. Up early the next day we were collected and brought to our boat, the Somabhula. We were introduced to our captain Joe, cook Dominic and crew member Witness. These lads were excellent, professional and made our trip stress free. They cooked fabulous food and taught us how to fish. They knew all the good places to go game spotting. We had morning expeditions and evening sundowners and if you’ve never been on a houseboat in Kariba put it top of your to-do/wishlist. When we returned to Kariba Bryony had transportation ready to take us to the airport for our onward trip to Victoria Falls. All this was made possible by Bryony who arranged absolutely everything. This was done by email and Whatsapp from Ireland. Having confidence in a travel agent is imperative and if you need anything arranged in Zimbabwe you won’t find better than Bryony at Heartveld Adventures.read more

From the minute we started our plan to go on a houseboat for a family and friends reunion (post... Covid ) we were put onto Bryony to arrange. She gave us unbridled 5 star service from booking the boat Vunduful and all transfers to and from Harare to Kariba return.
Everything was great and our guests came from 3 different continents to get aboard the Vunduful who had a great crew too.
We had some amazing close up viewings and a fair few bream were caught daily.
Thank you all from the Upton family and friends.

Bryony at Heartveld Adventures recently organised the holiday of a lifetime in Kariba for my fiancé... and I.

We visited Bumi Hills Safari Lodge and Spa which is positioned on remote hills overlooking Lake Kariba. We reached the hotel via a small aeroplane and a short 20 minute flight which was brilliant. The scenery flying over Kariba and experience was amazing.

We had a magical stay and after a very warm welcome by the staff we were shown around... WOW! Such an absolutely beautiful place in a stunning setting. The staff there couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.

Bumi is a small hotel with only 10 rooms, therefore it has a very intimate feel and so much attention to detail. A must to visit for a romantic, relaxing and yet exciting break away.

The range of activities is outstanding we stayed for 4 nights and went on game drives, game walks, sunset cruises, night time drives, evening sun downers to watch the sunset over the lake and visited the local Tonga village. Our guide ‘Little Max’ was fantastic, very knowledgable and made every effort to ensure we did everything we wanted.

It was often just my Fiancé and I doing the activities, so it was a very personal experience. We were even lucky enough to meet the resident lion pride and to take part in a valiant effort to rescue an elephant stuck along the edge of Lake Kariba. Quite an adventure!

Both my Fiancé and I would like to say a HUGE thank you to Bryony at Heartveld Adventures, who organised this trip for us. We live in the UK and our stay at Bumi was a small but very memorable part of our overall holiday to Zimbabwe where we were visiting family.

Bryony organised every last detail of our trip and ensured that it was completely stress free from start to finish.read more

Based on a very positive suggestion from a friend of ours, we booked a week at the Kariba Safari... lodge through this amazing team. ��The service and response we received was beyond excellent and deserves a 5-star recognition.

Bryony was extremely helpful, diligent and experienced and helped us plan an amazing family holiday which included several children. Several accommodations were made for our personal comforts and we were blown away by the fast and friendly service.

There really are no words other than to recommend them for any of your travel plans.

Thank you again for an amazing holiday and we are looking forward to the trip you are currently planning for us ☺️read more

Just want to say a big thank you to Bryony and Heartveld Adventures for the booking of Philipa... Houseboat. We really enjoyed our stay and the staff were excellent with outstanding meals and effort in everything they do. The houseboat was also very economical on fuel and being 100% solar made a big difference as we could run fans etc through the night. It is also very child friendly. Would highly recommend them and we will definitely be back again. Thank you again to Bryony and Bev.read more
