“IMMERSIVE, THRILLING & COMPLETELY UNFORGETTABLE”
Guided Safaris in Hwange National Park & Mana Pools, Zimbabwe
Go where few guides will – walking with the wild, up close in Zimbabwe’s wilderness
Great Guide Safaris and professional safari guide, Kaz Dube – take you deep into the untouched wilderness of Hwange National Park and Mana Pools where you stay in one of our semi-permanent Fly Camps, set up exclusively for your safari.
Meet Your Safari Guide
Kaz Dube’s deep understanding of animal behavior and his gift for storytelling have earned him a legendary status in safari circles. Recognized as Safari Guide of the Year in 2010, Kaz’s passion for conservation and encyclopedic knowledge of the wild make for an unrivalled African bush experience in Zimbabwe.
“Kaz Dube and his team bring you closer to Africa's nature like never before.”
The Great Guide Safaris Experience
A safari for true enthusiasts, where expert guiding and a simple stay bring you closer to nature.
Free from the trappings of luxury lodges, the real richness of the ‘Great Guide Safaris’ experience lies in the thrill of unscripted adventure: rare encounters and intimate moments in the wild – as if you were exploring the bush on your own. Most importantly, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for Zimbabwe’s untamed beauty and extraordinary biodiversity.
The Destinations
Hwange National Park and Mana Pools offer two of Zimbabwe’s most rewarding wildlife regions: Hwange with its wide plains, Kalahari sandveld and busy waterholes that attract big game in large numbers, and Mana Pools with its open floodplains, river edges and high concentrations of wildlife along the Zambezi corridor.
Our semi-permanent Fly Camps are set up exclusively for your stay in either destination, giving you access to both ecosystems on foot or by vehicle, guided by Kaz.

The Wildlife Experience
While leisurely game drives are part of a Great Guide Safaris experience, our true focus lies in guided bush walks. On foot, the wilderness comes alive – every rustle, track, and scent tells a story. With Kaz as your guide, each step reveals fascinating insights. Moving at a slower pace, you’ll uncover details that safari drives might miss.
Where You’ll Stay
Our semi-permanent Fly Camps offer an “Out of Africa” style experience that prioritizes simple luxury and great guiding over expensive extras. The Fly Camp allows our clients to experience the soul of safari as wildlife wanders past the tents. This is the original, authentic safari experience!
Your Impact
Great Guide Safaris supports Kaz’s vision to offer magical safari experiences that fund vital wildlife programs and uplift local communities. Your visit helps build a lasting legacy, ensuring the protection and preservation of nature’s abundant gifts.

“Kaz Dube is the best guide my wife and I have experienced during several safaris in Africa! His in-depth knowledge of both flora and fauna is exceptional! My wife and I plan to use his services again, we wouldn’t choose anyone else!”
Joseph Williams USA
“In my many years of safaris, I have never had such an experienced and knowledgeable guide. His deep understanding of animal behavior enabled us to get within 20 meters of a pack of wild dogs with curious puppies, and when surrounded by elephants, his calm guidance inspires complete confidence.”
Peter Marley, Kent, England
