The company is hopeful UK travellers will show renewed interest in the destination following the resignation of the country’s president Robert Mugabe in November.
Many have since rushed to highlight the nascent tourism industry but Alexander Mavros – one of the four sons of Patrick Mavros, founder of the silverware business – said Mavros Safaris would be “the world’s only specialist by a mile”.
Fifth-generation Zimbabwean Alexander oversees the operation from the company’s UK office, and an Atol has been applied for. Mavros Safaris also has an experienced on-the-ground team in Zimbabwe.
