"The regions that are of renewed interest," says Mark, "are Ruaha and Selous national parks in Tanzania. An area of new interest is Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe." "Folks want to stay longer and stay 'remoter'," Alison adds. "In Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park you can spend a full week with one of the best safari guides in all of southern Africa, Nick Murray. Daily game drives, canoeing along the quiet channels and islands of the Zambezi River, river sunset cruises, walking safaris to see giant bull elephants and painted (wild) dogs. Another week stay could be in the Matobo Hills where guests can explore with Paul Hubbard the history and anthropology of the ancient rock art in caves."
