Excellent, very knowledgeable, spoke English very well, very polite, very well groomed, very helpful
I would recommend Africa Zim Travel to other travellers. The staff (Pamela) who was in the administration was very helpful always communicate to see if everything was ok.
The tour guide (Cosmos) who was exceptionally helpful, very pleasant, very polite, very knowledgeable, always making sure that my husband and myself was well looked after with food, accommodation would check on us if there was anything that he could do for us.
On the safari drives he would make sure we were taken care of.
The safari drives were excellent they would spend time to make sure we saw the big 5.

Fantastic Vic Falls To Okavango Delta tour
We joined AfricaZim on a week’s long trip from Vic Falls to the Okavango Delta.
Pam was a great traveling companion and ensured that we safely navigated the journey. We felt well looked after at all times.
The lodges where we stayed were impeccable and all activities were fantastic and as stated.
Big shout out also to Pam and Blessing who responded to our upfront queries promptly and provided all the information we needed.
Would definitely recommend!

Africa Zim Travel are amazing, and gave us the holiday of a lifetime!
AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.
From start to finish Africa Zim Travel were EXCEPTIONAL.
Pamela walked us through the booking process all over email - tailoring a few things to our needs. We added an additional night to the trip; we had two children (9 and 10) and Pamela secured family rooms at 3 of our 4 hotels; and there was one vegan dietary requirement. None of these were an issue before or during our trip. Pamela suggested switching one of our days (in Hwange) from two AM/PM tours to one full day tour too. We were wary of a 10 hour day with children so had initially opted for the shorter tours, but we are so thankful that she suggested we do a full day. We saw so much more and children loved it.
One thing we hadn't realised, was that we would be assigned a guide who would be with us throughout the trip. We were met at the airport by Stanford - who turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. He has left a mark on our family and we all miss him!!
Stanford was responsible for all our transfers and joined us on some of our tours too. We learnt to realise that his presence on the tours ensured a far better experience and we are very grateful for that. He taught us so, so much throughout the trip - not just about the animals, but the culture and life in Zimbabwe and Botswana. He went above and beyond for us during the trip arranging a few extras too.
The lodges all exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious. The tours were all fruitful with plenty of sightings and some fantastic Rangers. Everywhere we went felt safe and friendly. The border crossing was smooth. All the pre-trip info covered what we needed.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Africa Zim Travel.
The package of Hwange and Chobe was a nice combo. They were different and I'm glad we experienced them both. The itinerary was full, and we slept well each night! We actually added an additional day at the end to enjoy Vic Falls and recover and we're glad we did that. It felt like a lovely end to an active holiday and created a nice balance.
There were no "hidden extras" from memory. It was clear from the start of our communications what was and wasn't included in the price and in the trip. The "Tour of Vic Falls" seems to come up in reviews that I've seen. For clarity, it probably isn't a "tour" in the same sense as the game drives are. You get dropped off and pay the entrance fee ($50 adult, $25 kids) to the gated viewing area. We spent a little over 2 hours there following the trail along 16 viewing points. You could probably spend less or more time there depending on your preferences. For us, it was lovely to be able to spend some time walking after spending the previous days on the safari trucks and boats! But it isn't a tour with a guide. I believe they (the park) did provide tours though, possibly for an additional $25?
Overall, I think they offered great value. We had never been to this part of the world before and never been on a safari holiday and there is no way we could have organised this ourselves to this level. The itinerary was perfect.
As for the animals… wow… we saw most of what we wanted. Unfortunately no leopards, but we did see a cheetah with her cubs! We also saw her hunt and catch! The combination of two national parks as well as the combo of drives and cruises offers plenty of opportunity (in my opinion) even in such a small space of time. Hippos, crocs, buffalos, jackals, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, many antelope species, snakes, lizards, many birds, monkeys, baboons… Fantastic, and very very close.
We went in the final week of May. No rain. Generally sunny every day, occasionally overcast in Hwange. It gets dark about 6pm; it's chilly in the morning and evenings. No issues with mosquitos - but we did use repellent twice a day. The Falls were wet and flowing!
Thank you Africa Zim Travel!

Everything went smoothly!
We did the 9 day trip beggining 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!

Professionals, trustworthy. We recommend it 100%.
I found Africa Zim Travel & Tours on the Internet based on the opinions of other tourists. And it was a great decision. Before departure, I kept in touch with Pamela by e-mail. They answered my questions quickly. She was patient. I was a little worried whether someone would be waiting for us at the airport. Unnecessarily. Stanford was waiting for us and took care of us. And it was He who decided about the success of our trip. A great guide, speaker, driver and, of course, companion. A man of great culture, well dressed, always on site. Standford made our first trip to Africa wonderful and safe. Thank you and best regards. And we are already thinking about another trip to Africa (Namibia), of course accompanied by Stanford. We love Africa and its people. We highly recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours. And Stanford :). Monika, Magda, Zbyszek i Zbyszek. April/May 2024- Zimbwawe/Botswana.

Excellent!!
We had a wonderful experience with Africa Zim!! Our guide Pam S. excellent! She was organized, had great recommendations and was easy to talk to throughout the trip. We did the 8 day tour starting in Victoria Falls and ending in Maun / Okavango Delta. The falls were beautiful and we saw a lot of animals including elephants, giraffes, zebra, hippos and lions. We really liked the different types of safari tours (drive, boat & walk). The boat tour in Chobe ended up being our favorite it was a good way to see animals close. The accommodations were all very nice. Pam was flexible if we needed to stop along the way and helped us add an extra tour. Thank you Africa Zim and Pam S.!!

Pamela is an amazing hard working organiser always contactable and Cosmas our guide and driver best
It is amazing to spend time at least 3 - 4 days in Victoria Falls . We enjoyed the bridge walk , high tea at elegant Victoria Falls Hotel , helicopter ride over the falls is sensational . Of course walk for 2 hours around the Falls is an amazing experience , do not forget your raincoat , we did not mind getting wet by the fresh sprinkles from the mighty falls . Lastly make sure have lunch at Lookout Cafe & Boma dinner . We were lucky to have Pamela from Zim Travels to arrange our itenary . And am glad she appointed Cosmas as our driver and guide who made sure everything went well . His knowledge is very good and he too managed to show us a tower of zirraffes and kudus on the way to Botswana .
We spent 3 days in Chobe again the itenary was amazing . We did 2 morning game drives , one afternoon game drive and one safari from Chobe River Cruise . All views at sunrise and sunset was spectacular . Furthermore to see all the animals and birds in nature was amazing . We were lucky to see so many animals and birds . The rangers were very professional all out to please.
In summary we had great experience with Pamela from Zim Travels and will consider her for our next adventure in Africa .

Good coordination
We took the 5 day Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park tour. It involved crossing into Botswana from Zimbabwe by road . Switching cars was done smoothly across the boarders. Our initial lodge wasn't available and Africa Zim compensated with a great alternative. Thank you for helping us have a memorable holiday ❤

Visit of Victoria Falls
The guide we had was very helpful and showed us the most important views of the falls. Since we could not walk all the way we had to miss a view viewpoints but we saw the most important ones.
