A trip to Goliath Camp promises to be an exciting safari adventure for all, in one of Africa’s best wildlife locations. Not only that, but every effort is made by Stretch and his team to make your stay at camp as hospitable and comfortable as possible. Stretch is able to approach large game, such as elephant and lion, on foot because of his years of experience, which has given him the skill and knowledge on how to safely approach the animals. The photographic opportunities you will have on a walk with Stretch are second to none. Take a look at what you could expect on your next trip with us…

  • "How lucky are we to have been the only guests in camp for four days! Our third visit to Goliath was the best yet! Thank you Stretch, Paul, Reuben and all the team for so many wonderful Goliath moments. Elephant, wild dog, hyena, along with fabulous food, great company and special experiences never to be forgotten. For any guest, Goliath in Mana Pools must surely be heaven on earth!"

Thank you, Stretch, Megan and he team for looking after us so well. Memories for a lifetime have been created".

    Peta & Rodney – Brisbane, Australia

  • "Pure Magic with so many characters – 2 and 4 legged kinds! Perfect birthday present mixed with magic, indescribable moments with elephants and lions, stories and characters. Perfect level of comfort, location and food. Stretch, Alistair, Paul, Rueben & Canaan were all most welcoming and easy people. Thank you."

    Cathy Bell & Family – Adelaide, Australia

  • "What an amazing experience for our first safari in Africa. We can’t decide which part was our favourite… sitting so close to an elephant or being terrified by a lion! The painted dogs and the wonderful sunsets all were perfect. Thanks too for the friendliness and warmth from everyone. The food too was delicious. We are sad to be leaving and hope to come back soon! PS. Hyena encounters amazing!!!"

    Bridget & Adam Wilson, UK

  • “Okay guys, let’s get serious!” This safari was an adventure of a lifetime. Stretch is a legend. Our days were checkered with adrenaline-filled adventure, laughter, and passionate discourse on how to conserve these beautiful creatures that surround us. How many people can say they’ve been surrounded by hippos while tracking lions?! We will forever hold this magical experience in our hearts".
