Has anyone out there come in on the nine pm flight from Joberg and spent the night in Harare before chartering to the Zambezi Valley?

a great option is gecko gardens thats who we use and they are great , they will meet you at the airport then take you to the charter plane in the morning ...

Same bloke owns the Amanzi Bar down the road.
Flashest bar in ZIM.Favourite haunt of government ministers,foreign embassy set.
Closest thing to Rics Bar from Casablanca I have ever seen.

Gunny,

I stayed at The Amanzi Lodge last year and it is quite nice.

I would agree on the Gecko Gardens -- very comfy and secure -- very nice people to deal with.

Try Pangolin or,my favorite, Meikles. meikles will pick you up at the airport.

Thanks guys I liked to stay at Afton House but the gun permit fiasco has gotten out of hand. Seems that it will be easier to just go straight through. Russ Broom said they will meet me which they did once in the old days but since then I stayed over in Joberg.

Last Jul I stayed at the Meikles. No complaints.

Chifuti has us set up for Gecko Gardens this June. The brochure makes it look very nice. A bit pricey at $250.00 for the night (arriving at 9 p.m. and leaving early in the morning), but the security and lack of worry are worth it in my book.

I stayed at the Gecko last sping (March 2007) and it was very nice.

$250 Pagolin is $70. Security is first rate - so's the breakfast

pangolin@mweb.co.zw or phone 263-4-860758/9

Ganyana, Thanks for the information. Does Pagolin pick up and deliver to the airport? I could maybe get Chifuti to do something about it.

A safe place to sleep and a good breakfast for 70 bucks sounds good to me.

Bwana - sadly no - it would be really convienient if they did,
