I wholeheartedly recommend Bantu Pathfinders for your Zambia and Botswana adventures
As a single female traveler, I am careful whom to choose for my tour guides. Bantu Pathfinders and my personal driver, Victor, not only made my trip memorable but also safe.
I asked Bantu Pathfinders for a private custom tour in Botswana with a few places in mind. The company was extremely flexible with my ideas and they also recommended theirs. I spent 4 days (3 nights) on the road visiting several national parks, participating in cultural tours, and attending activities such as 4-wheeling and flying over the Okavango Delta. Victor was a knowledge guide, a great conversational partner, and an impeccable gentleman. He managed to find all the wild animals that a tourist would love to see.
I hope to return and book a longer tour with this company.

A Once In A Lifetime Experience!
Patson and his colleagues set up the most amazing experiences for us. We only had 2 days in Livingstone, but we did a walking Safari, boat cruise, experienced Victoria Falls, and walked with Lions. The most memorable moments were spontaneous...we mentioned to Patson that we wanted to see a Giraffe and he knew just where to take us. Same with seeing elephants. I'll be back up to Victoria Falls in 10 days and will absolutely use Bantu Pathfinders for our next adventures!

Last minute trip to tranquillity
One Friday in August, I desperately needed a gateway. Banthu Pathfinders
came through for me at short notice (I think worked through the night) with just the perfect location for me on the Kafue River.

Great Trips, fantastic communication, Would recommend
I emailed Bantu Pathfinders about a month before we were due to go on our honeymoon to find out about trips available in Zambia. Patson gave us lots of options with explanations and costs for all of the trips. Once we had decided on the trips we emailed Patson who sorted them all out for us. He then met us at our hotel on arrival to discuss the details of the trip. He was available via whatsapp in case we needed him and the service was excellent. We loved Zambia so when we return we will definitely use Patson and Bantu again to book out trips. A* Service throughout.
Thanks Patson

Great experience in an amazing place
Bantu Pathfinders and especially Patson made our trip to Africa an amazing experience. We were able to see the town of Livingstone and explore it, including a visit to the local museum which has some very interesting exhibits, and of course a tour of Victoria Falls which was a definite highlight. Victoria Falls is absolutely beautiful and the locals definitely have a sense of pride about it which you can feel when you interact with them. Then we went on a walking Rhino safari in Mosi-oa-Tunya national park and this was really a once in a lifetime experience. The tour guides were so friendly and knowledgeable and really quite funny. Our day trip to Botswana included a boat cruise safari, lunch, and a game drive safari. All of these were wonderful and again, the tour guides made everything so fun and educational. Everyone on Bantu Pathfinders staff made sure we were comfortable the whole time, so all we had to do was sit back and relax. All of our transports arrived on time. Our hotel (Royal Livingstone) was fantastic. All in all I highly recommend Bantu Pathfinders to anyone who wants to experience this part of the world.

Amazing Service and Incredible Adventure
My husband and I booked a 3 day trip with Bantu Pathfinders in the Livingstone and Chobe Park area. Patson was absolutely amazing to work with, and responded promptly to our several questions. We could not have asked for better service. Everything was arranged perfectly, all of our travel arrangements were on time and friendly, and our experience was unforgettable. Patson provided a personally guided tour of Victoria Falls and town, which not only provided us the opportunity to learn about the Nature in Zambia, but also the culture and history of Livingstone.
Our only regret is that we did not book a longer package. We cannot wait to return and would absolutely recommend this company to anyone visiting the area.
Day tour in Livingstone
Bantu Pathfinders - and, in particular, Patson Chifumbe, were recommended to us by Pearl's Tours in Victoria Falls for a day tour in Livingstone. Patson met us at the border, welcomed us to Zambia in a friendly and professional manner and established our wishes for the day.
Our tour of Livingstone and surrounds was informative and enjoyable.
Over an extended lunch we were able to talk extensively with Patson. His knowledge of Southern Africa was impressive - he willingly answered all of our questions, whether they were of an historical or cultural or political or economical nature. He continued to provide us with a professional and informative commentary throughout the afternoon and he ensured our efficient and safe return over the border. We would certainly recommend his service in Zambia.

Prompt, efficient service with a smile. Would definitely use them again.
They organised a painless crossing from Zimbabwe to Zambia and delivered us to our hotel door. The helicopter trip was fabulous [DO NOT miss out on the longer tour which takes you down into the canyon] and the service was polite and friendly.
