Easy, relaxed, packed full of animals
5/5

Summary: Just finished an 8 day tour with Zambezi, starting in Victoria Falls and ending in Maun. I was a solo female traveller.

Company: This company was very easy to work with and we communicated via email and by whatsapp. Response was fast and informative. I recommend at least one person in your group has whatsapp if you're like me and like to double check pick up times or any other details. Silence and Nomvula were great at responding to any little queries I had throughout the trip and even changing parts at the last minute.

Arrival: I arrived a day before my safari and Nomvula helped me organise something to do on my spare day. I ended up going to Hwange which was spectacular. I was picked up at the VF airport by Nkasi who also detoured to help me and the other passengers get some sim cards in town.

Victoria Falls: I did the sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi River with Francis, who is very witty and friendly. And finally in VF of course the safari included a tour of the falls themselves. Mr B was a great guide and I got lucky as it was just the two of us so we had a really great chat and stopped at all the animals to take photos.

Elephant Sands: was a great place to spend the night as you can eat your meals just 20m away from where the elephants are hanging out. I also found a gecko and some cool bugs out at night while walking back to my chalet. This is a good place to facetime your family so they can watch the elephants with you 😀

Chobe: In Botswana most of the time was spent at Chobe National Park. There were two days with a boat ride and a game drive each day, but Zambezi helped me swap one of the boat drives to a game drive as I think I liked them better. Chobe is very packed with animals you will definitely see lots there. I was lucky enough to see both lions AND a leopard, as well as stacks of elephants, giraffe, impala, buffalo, birds, etc.

Okavango: Poling through the Okavango Delta was gorgeous, and the walk afterwards is highly recommended as it was the closest you'll get to animals while on foot. Arnold was a great guide.

Highlights: the animals (leopard, lions, elephants especially!), the tight-knit Zambezi team, chatting with the guides

Tips: accept every bottle of water someone offers you, you'll drink them all! Bring small change for tips - each section of the safari is organised separately with a different guide so I foolishly brought $80 for an 8 day safari (following the $10usd/day guide) but this was not very useful for each individual activity! Book a safari with some free time to chill out or do other activities eg the boma dinner. Download whatsapp. Write notes of the animals you see as I found I was forgetting the names of things (especially the birds). Buffet meals are often better than meals where you order off a menu in my experience. Have fun!

Extremely Professional and customer focused!
5/5

From initial enquiry/quote I received from Silence Takaedza (Zambezi Representative), the level of service was exceptional!
Silence was able to tailor the trip to my dates needed, which is much better than trying to fit in with tour company dates, so this made the entire trip easy and enjoyable! I was met by Silence upon check in at my first day, and gave me a run down of everything that was ahead. Again, service above and beyond!
Throughout the entire trip, I was kept informed about next activities/movements.
I had a personal driver with me for the road trips between locations, and Francis was fantastic! As a solo traveller, it was great having him there as someone to talk to about the experiences I had. Offering his company at times so as to not be alone, and also knowing when to just allow me some space to relax and take in the safari. Francis was an exceptional guide who ensured I was where I needed to be, on time and without stress!
It was a seamless and pleasant experince from start to finish of the entire trip, and I can reccommend Zambezi Expeditions for a guarnteed excellent trip!
It should be noted also that for activities not outlined in a trip/quote from Zambezi, they are able to help arrange these. I did not realise this at the time and I had made private bookings for activities, so advise letting Zambezi book/plan other activities for complete ease.
Overall, this was brilliant trip and I am so thankful for Zambezi Expeditions professional and personal service!

The communication and reliability to be where they said they would be was excellent
5/5

Oscar and his staff did a very good job making me feel safe and organised all the time.

Smooth, well organised & reliable
5/5

Oscar and Silence were so friendly and flexible as they arranged and accommodated for our needs. Though the agency works with various agencies or drivers to do our tours, they were mostly on time and reliable. This is a tour agency that you can trust. No issue with the communication at all. We truly enjoyed the trip.

Trustworthy
5/5

This has been an unforgettable experience. Zambezi' s team, Oscar, Francis and Silence were extraordinary, made sure to be in time, carried water for us and even meals when was needed. Our driver and guide Francis shared with us all his knowledge of animal wildlife which was amazing and entertaining. Lodging was comfortable and ethnic. On the whole a great team and a wonderful way to get to know Africa, it's people and nature. Would like to repeat soon.
