Cameron Harvey Safaris is owned and run by a brother/sister team.....Ian and Louisa Harvey. We have a passion for Zimbabwe and strive to ensure you have a unique and relaxing holiday, by offering high levels of service and a variety of activities .
An EXCLUSIVE SAFARI is one that is designed between the Tour Operator and the holidaymaker. They are not scheduled trips...each one is unique and EXCLUSIVE to you in terms of accommodation, duration, activities and budget.
The way we run safaris: We believe that a friendly welcome is a universally good start to a holiday. But that's where our fixed schedule ends! 90% of our safaris are tailor made, because every enquiry is different.....We all have different ideas about what constitutes a great holiday. Some people like wildlife, some like adventure. Some people want to relax with a gin and tonic, some want to party the night away. So please don't ask us for our safari rates, because each safari has its own price. All we need from you is some information on who, how many, when and how much. We can then give you some suitable options. If you're happy with our first suggestions there's no more thinking required from you. If there's something you don't like, we'll change it until you're happy.
First decision.....How much time can we spare and what is our budget? We can't decide this for you but when you email us we can give advice on costs and how much you can realistically do in a certain time frame.
Second decision.....How should we get around and what sort of holiday do we want: In an expanse such as Zimbabwe, charter flights are a popular method of traveling between destinations and provide a unique and top of the range safari. However, we appreciate that they are a luxury which is outside some budgets so we also offer 4x4 self drive safaris which provide a more leisurely pace and holidays to suit everyone's pocket. For nervous first timers to Africa or for those who want to be totally pampered and spoilt we also offer the above as ESCORTED safaris.....so any uncertainties, African quirks, decisions AND the washing up, can be passed over to your guide.
Third decision....where do we want to stay: Accommodation within Zimbabwe is generally superb and often unique. The choices range from Public Campsites, Bush Camps and Self Catering Cottages to Luxury Private Camps/Lodges and 5 Star Hotels. The lodges and camps where we might suggest that you stay are chosen for various reasons:- their location, their value for money and their care for the environment. Utmost on our list are the staff which, at our preferred lodges, are renowned for their friendliness and hospitality.
If you're not wanting a scheduled safari, these decisions will direct you towards one of two types of safari. So....
What sort of safari are you looking for?

Imagine sitting on top of the world, the hills bronzing to a setting sun, dust
clouds rising as zebra drift down to the waterhole for a last drink.......These
dreams become reality at Zimbabwe’s most exclusive lodges.
Cameron Harvey Safaris invites you to sample the splendours of Zimbabwe in ultimate luxury and with total indulgence. Let us take the heat out of your planning and put the warmth into your holiday by providing you with a safari designed specifically for you. If you need to justify spoiling yourself, be assured that we can supply a plethora of convincing reasons!
Wherever you are in the world, we will discuss with you, directly, all your plans, dreams and reservations....can we stay on an island? Can we take a balloon flight over Victoria Falls? Do lions walk down the high streets? (yes, yes, no!). Every lodge, hotel or camp we choose is carefully selected for its surroundings, cuisine, activities and hospitality. Each has its own unique attractions which, when combined with Zimbabwe's scenery and wildlife, offer you a holiday of distinction.
