SPLENDID VIEWS OVER THE COUNTRYSIDE

From here to serenity, you think as you survey majestic elephants cruising slowly across the endless bush. But on safari in Chilo Gorge you’ll find life is also wild.

The wildlife of Chilo Gorge is not used to the click of camera shutters and the whirr of motor drives. Here people are amongst the rarest of creatures and big game abounds. The largest – elephants – number over eight thousand. Huge buffalo are also plentiful, especially round watering holes. Big cats prowl through the red sandstone and thorny scrub on the trail of painted impala, whilst hippos gape impressively as they take cooling mud baths.

Talking of which; after following the wildlife it’s a refreshing experience to plunge into Chilo’s swimming pool and emulate the local hippos. Or have a sundowner before a hearty dinner and then swap safari stories around the campfire. More great reasons for putting Chilo Gorge on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Zimbabwe.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91ºÚÁÏÍø gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate†really is “91ºÚÁÏÍøâ€!

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91ºÚÁÏÍø stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
