Yes, it’s true…. there are (or at least, there once were….hundreds of millions of years ago) dinosaurs in the Zambezi Valley. It is located in the remote southern part of the World Heritage Site that comprises Mana Pools National Park and the Sapi and Chewore Safari Areas.
Well… to be clear, there are no dinosaurs but only their tracks, fossilized in ancient mud deposits which have emerged out of an eroded modern-day river bed.
Have a look at this Jenman Safaris review – this review comes from a couple who recently traveled on our Northern Experience safari (Cape Town to Victoria Falls safari). In this blog we have included all the comments as well Garth Jenman’s (managing director of Jenman Safaris) responses:
On the recommendation of a neighbor, we booked a 3 week safari with Jenman. We also booked an extra week to visit Johannesburg and Cape Town. This was in July which is the dry season in the region. This means fewer bugs and mosquitoes and the animals congregate around the water holes making them easier to see. Read the rest of this entry »

Recently Garth Jenman, Managing Director of Jenman Safaris, and his operations manager Wayne Powell went off to Zimbabwe to rediscover the area…
“With all the negativity we hear about I was not sure what to expect before heading up on a fact finding trip at the end of June this year. We were in for a pleasant surprise. Zimbabwe was as magnificent as it always has been and in my opinion has as much to offer, the area is complete with lush vegetation, magnificent wildlife and most of the safari areas and accommodation is still in great condition.
Our reporter Tim Healy journeyed to the north-western part of Madagascar to catch a glimpse of the breeding season for Green Turtles on a small remote tropical island called Nosy Sakatia. As this species prefers to arrive on the sandy shores at night and during high tide, Tim, accompanied by Mr Robert a local community conservationist and Giselle Bakary, Marine Biologist, had to wait until 2am in anticipation of a meeting with this incredible creature.

He munches on treats from human hands, and nuzzles his keepers like a dog. He loves a rough tickle under his chin. But Tatenda is in grave danger. He is just 22 months old, but may not live to see his second birthday. His horns are growing rapidly – and that means a man known as ‘Ngwenya’, The Crocodile, may soon come to call.
