Extraordinary trip with a warm, knowledgeable guide
My wife and I loved our trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana. Here’s what made the trip amazing:
1) Incredible nature: Chobe and the Okavango Delta were my favorites because we got to see so many animals from such a close distance. Walking among elephants, giraffes, and zebras during the bush walks was truly wild
2) Seamless logistics: Archie was professional and accommodating during the planning process (don’t be put off by WhatsApp because it worked well!), while Tafara ensured every stay and activity was perfectly coordinated during the trip so we never had to worry
3) Fantastic guide: Tafara, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and organized, not to mention a wonderful companion throughout our many game drives and meals together. He could spot animals from far off like no other and an hour later discuss politics over one of many delicious restaurants he brought us to. He’s the best
When we return (and we will), we’d definitely go with Africa Uncovered. They added a ton of value throughout the trip and it couldn’t have been any easier!

Amazing safari trip to Botswana and Victoria Falls
I did the 7-day Botswana trip from Victoria Falls along with my girlfriend and her sister, with Tafara as our guide. I genuinely believe that this was one of the best experiences of my life. Tafara was kind, knowledgeable, and very helpful. He made sure that the time we had was spent well. He also accommodated small requests that we had, and even took us to some interesting places in Victoria Falls that were not officially in the itinerary. The activities themselves were also great and well planned, we were lucky to see many animals during the game drives. The camping and Mokoro ride in the Okavango Delta was definitely the highlight of the trip, the local guides were very friendly and made the experience unforgettable. Also a special thanks to Archie for his behind the scenes work, smooth communication and quick response to questions.

Most comfortable journey ever
I live in Zambia and wanted to travel overland as I don't like flying. And since my dear family is coming to Africa to see me, I was looking for a safe and comfortable tour and I came across this company.
In particular, our personal guide Tafara was fantastic. His personality, knowledge, management skills and consideration were all excellent.
Our trip was very flexible and he suggested a comfortable plan according to our wishes. During the transfer he told us interesting stories about animals and nature and we were never bored.
I travel abroad a lot, but I've never travelled so far without worrying about time, everything is so well organised.
Moreover, he eventually escorted me to back to Zambia and I felt very safe.
I never expected such a safe and comfortable trip to Africa. Thanks to our professional guide Tafara and the company, I would recommend this tour to everyone.

One of the BEST trips and guides in my life: Botswana and Victoria Falls
I participated in the „7 days Botswana Magic and Incredible Victoria Falls“ tour in September with my sister and boyfriend, and I can truly recommend it!! I think it covered all the must-see spots in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our guide, Tafara, was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and really professional throughout the entire trip. Even though I’m not confident in speaking English (my English level is between B1 and B2 level) and a bit shy, he was patient and attentive, always making sure I felt comfortable. He created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. Tafara went above and beyond to accommodate our requests to the best of his ability, and even made additional suggestions that were even better than what we had in mind. Thanks to his recommendations, we made the most of our extra time even more fulfilling experience. The driving time to the next destination is sometimes long, but it was good chance to take a rest and Tafara explained about everything what we could be interested in and answered our questions. You can see the wild animals on the way too, not only during the game drives. Tafara stopped the car when we found interesting animals to take pictures and explained about them. He is divinity one of the best guid who we have experienced!!

Amazing and immersive experience, with a constant sense of security and meaningful human connection
This experience has been one of the best I’ve ever had. I went on this trip with my brother Pedro, who managed most of the logistics. I trusted him completely, and I think we couldn’t have made a better choice than African Uncovered Safaris. We always had plenty of information, and once we arrived in Zimbabwe, Tafara was an excellent guide from the very start. The experience was outstanding, especially due to his kindness and all the insights he shared about the country and its wildlife. I believe Tafara is incredibly well-prepared, both professionally and emotionally, for leading tours like this.
Additionally, we always had flexibility in terms of schedules and activity choices, and we felt a great sense of safety with Tafara, both during the drives and in the country overall. As my brother Pedro has already mentioned, our tour started in Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, then moved on to Chobe, Elephant Sands, the Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, and finally back to Victoria Falls.
As a biologist and nature enthusiast, this experience exceeded all my expectations. I learned so much and took countless photos. We saw a wide range of animals: elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, zebras, various species of antelopes, dozens of bird species (including vultures and eagles), wildebeests, a few lions, a leopard, and even rhinos. Besides the classic jeep tours, we also took a mokoro ride and camped in the wild, where we enjoyed the Southern Hemisphere night sky full of stars and shooting stars. We also had the chance to visit a local village, where we spoke with the residents and got a glimpse into their daily lives. Although our time there was limited to just a couple of hours, it was a meaningful experience. I highly recommend this as an opportunity to learn from their way of life and gain a deeper understanding of the local culture. It’s a great way to step outside the typical tourist bubble and connect more authentically with the community, rather than staying in a purely Westernized environment.
I highly recommend visiting Devil’s Pool. I was a bit scared, but I felt completely safe as lifeguards were present and assisted us throughout. The view was amazing.
In summary, this company is highly reliable, offering many options and flexibility, and having Tafara as our guide made the experience truly unique. Without a doubt, I’ll be doing this again!
