  Pamela from Zim was the best tour guide! We booked an 8 day excursion in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Everything was so well organized and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first safari!

  I can’t praise Africa Zim Travel & Tours more highly. They are a boutique tour operator that specialises in custom travel experiences. They built a tour itinerary around the dates my husband and I provided, and included all the stops and activities we wanted to include on our African safari adventure. Quite often along our adventure, we crossed paths with the big bus operators, and we were so pleased that we went with Africa Zim Travel & Tours, and did not have to share our safari with 30 other travelers. We opted for an all-tent experience, so that we could hear the sounds of Africa at night. But we could easily have upgraded to other accommodation if we had wanted. Initially we requested a range of accommodation options, all of which were great value for money, but we settled on tenting. We booked an 8-day tour from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to Maun in Botswana. We were met by our awesome host, Stanford, at Vic Falls airport. He was our trusty companion, driver, animal spotter and most gracious guide for the duration of our trip. Africa Zim Travel & Tours has a supportive and symbiotic relationship with other small local operators. We were seamlessly handed over to other expert guides for the specialist adventures we had requested, like a game viewing Zambezi river sunset cruise, a 2-night stay over in the heart of Chobe National Park and another 2-night stay over in the Okavango Delta. Stanford was always there, with his infectious smile and glowing personality, to collect us and take us on the next part of our adventure. One advantage we were extremely grateful for, because of going with Africa Zim Travel & Tours, unlike the other big tour options out there, our tent was always built and furnished before we arrived. No need to erect our own tent at each stop. The Africa Zim team are really professional. There is a solid team of back-office members, who always respond to emails within hours. They are supported by a team of highly experienced tour guides who take us lucky travelers around Africa and make dreams come true. Our experience was first class from beginning to end. Thank you to everyone at Africa Zim Travel & Tours, for making our holiday unforgettable.

  From booking the tour and coordinating with office staff with Africa Zim Travel everything went smoothly. They answered all our questions when we had them. Always a very timely response. Our driver Pamela met us at the airport when we arrived in Victoria Falls. We were taken to Bayette Lodge which was excellent and the food was great while we stayed there. Everyone at the lodge was polite, friendly and the service was great. Our first activity was the sunset cruise on the Zambezi River and it was wonderful, all the drinks you could have and yummy snacks! We saw lots of elephants, hippos, crocodiles and other wildlife. The next day we went to Victoria Falls where Mackson was our guide there. Very informative. The next day we went to Chobe National Park and stayed at the Chobe Safari Bush Lodge. The rooms were excellent, food was fantastic and we went on two game drives, saw lots of animals. Also went on a sunset Cruise which was my favorite of the whole trip. Saw so many Buffalo, hippos, elephants, Impala, water monitor, snakes, many birds and too many other animals to mention. After 2 days we went to Elephant Sands Reserve. I had read other reviews on TripAdvisor and had some concerns about the place being run down. But to my surprise it was very clean, the tents were roomy and the beds were comfortable. We saw lots of elephants up close. The next day we went to Maun and stayed at the Maun Lodge. Again, the accommodations were wonderful, clean and comfortable beds and excellent food and entertainment in the evenings. While there we did the Okavango Delta morocco tour. OT was our driver for the day. He did a great job driving us down some very wild roads, and waited for us while we did our boat tour. OT also packed a nice lunch for us to have while we were out for the day. He waited for us so when we were ready to go back we could do so. This was a nice paced trip and I would not change any of the places where we stayed. We did go to a Boma dinner one night in Victoria Falls. Our table was in a great location for the viewing of the show, but the food was mediocre and there was too much noise. But it did celebrate the African culture.

  What an amazing experience, we had the time of our lives We we're picked up in Victoria Falls by Andy, our lovely and knowledgeable driver/guide who taught us so much about this part of Africa and it's culture. We drove to Kasane and Chobe where we had two morning drives, an afternoon drive and a river cruise. There were elephants, giraffs, impalas, kudus, hippos and buffalos galore. There were a number of colourful birds and we got to see lions with cubs, lions playing with prey (a baboon) and even a leopard. The next stop was Elephant Sands were you can sit by the fire and watch the elphants up close. This was an amazi g experience although the smell could be quite interresting. And by the way, in winter, bring warm clothes. At night the temperature went down to about 5 degrees celsius and there is no heating in the tents. The last part of the trip was in Maun and the Okavango delta. On the way there, there were a lot of animals along the road, impalas and elephants and a large herd of zebras. When we got to Maun we had a land back afternoon and evening before going on a mokoro (canoo) trip in the delta combined with a walking safari. This was such a peaceful and different way of seeing the animals. The walking safari was maybe the only letdown on the whole trip. We did not see many animals except some zebras and wilderbeest from a distanse, but the mokoro trip made up for it. The accomodation on the trip was also very nice and the staff at the lodges were great. Thanks to Andy for making this trip such a wonderful experience and to Pamela for organizing everything. Thank you so much.

  We did the 8 day trip beginning in Victoria Falls ending in Maun. The comunication with Africa Zim was good, the tour was well organized. It was a wonderful experience, everything worked, the hotels are very good and confortable, the dinners were delicious, the car is very confortable and the best was our guide Muto. He made sure everything was ok and has so much knowledge about animals and culture. The safaris were amazing, Chobe is a especial place with so many animals and the Okavango Delta was incredible! We loved every second!

  We had an amazing tour, Pamela organizing and Stanford guiding, both have made our stay in Zimbabwe and Botswana incredible. Organization was perfect and exceeded our expectations, accomodations were really good and comfy & the food was great. Activities were perfectly planned and we still had some time to enjoy swimming pools and relax, perfect holidays! Would 100% recommend.

  Everything worked exactly as planned, thanks to the excellent disposition of COSMAS, our Guide, who in addition to complying with what was contracted, was essential in recovering a suitcase that the airline had lost. Pamela's attitude was also important, with whom we defined all the details of our tour by email. And the tour itself is highly recommended, because in a few days you visit two unique geographical phenomena such as Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta, Chobe Park with its abundant native fauna, and Elephant Sands, where you can see all the elephants. that one wants.

  Africa Zim has been a very serious company. She was willing to accept certain changes that were made to the initial offer. The hotel recommendations were very accurate. I would like to highlight the colossal and empathetic task of the guide who accompanied us...Cosmas took care of the transfers with punctuality and permanent joy. Not only did he do that, but he shouldered the task of recovering my suitcase lost on the flight. It took two days for it to appear... without the dedicated management of Cosmas it would not have been possible to recover it. Thanks Cosmas, thanks Pamela, Thanks Africa Zim =)

  

• 8 days Safari tour with great guide

  We made the 8 days tour together with our driver and guide Cosmas, a really professional guide, knowledgable about the different countries in southern Africa. He is an expert about the parks and the animals, his personality makes it easy even when you need to spend hours in the jeep. We started in Victoria Falls, local game drive and then Chobe river safaris and cruises. Then to Maun and Okawango delta via Elephant Sands. Even if we enjoyed a lot the programme, we suggest that the long transit to Okawango delta is improved. Too long time is spent in the car from Chobe to Maun just to spend very little time in the delta. Also we believe the activities in the Delta must be improved.
