The safest and most effective way to view big game is on daily drives which are conducted in open 4wd vehicles that have been specially adapted for safari use with comfy seats, pockets to stow your gear and bean bags to steady your camera for those all-important photos.
Sundowners follow a late afternoon drive, and once the sun has set, night drives commence.
Filtered spotlights, which do not interfere with the wellbeing and behaviour of the animals, and easier on your eyes too, provide opportunities to see nocturnal creatures such as civet, porcupine, genet, and also some of the larger predators on the move.
Bush walks are essentially a "micro-safari." An armed ranger with your qualified and experienced pro guide will direct you through the wilderness, interpreting spoor, identifying the various flora and fauna, and highlighting conservation issues.
However, elephants and buffalo are seen on most walks and sometimes the big cats, so you can expect anything at any time. The pace is leisurely and the duration is determined by your requirements.
River safaris are offered by virtue of Old Mondoro being on the Zambezi River. Cruises in custom built, motorized pontoons explore numerous channels, viewing hippo, buffalo, elephant and prolific bird life.
Although the Zambezi offers many activities, perhaps it is best known for canoeing. Six meter long Canadian canoes are used and these trips may last anywhere from 1 hour to 1 day.
Safety is always a priority, so all guides have recurrent advanced first aid training and all boats and vehicles, canoe trips and walks carry comprehensive first aid kits and are linked to the camp by VHF radio network.
