  • G

    Gregory

    Asked on February 12th, 2024

    Does this tour include Zimbabwe AND Zambia? Or just Zimbabwe? Is it common for solo travelers to join? Or do people join in smaller groups? If I pick a room meant for 2 people as a single traveler, would you put another female in the room to share with me? (I am a female as well).
