A highly professional, world class service that is miles ahead of the rest, delivered with a smile.
Luciano ran a highly professional service. Their staff are very friendly and the most courteous. The buses we used were in excellent condition. They were able to keep to strict time lines and handled international delegates to the satisfaction of everybody. Their service is truly world class and miles ahead of their peers in the industry.

My first trip to Africa felt like a breeze because these guys know what they are doing!
I have nothing bad to say about Luciano Tours and Travel. Everyone we have met apart of this business has beeen absolutely wonderful. They have been patient and have catered to all of our needs. This is my first time to Africa and I never felt stressed or confused; they are really good about informing you of everything you need to know. I highly recommend using the services they provide - I promise you they will not disappoint!! Because of all the time we have spent together they have really started to feel more like family, which is part of what made my trip to Africa even more special. They care for you as if you were their own.

Perfect Safari to Chobe which ran smoothly at all stages
We were offered a cheaper last minute rate to go on a 1 day 1 night safari to Chobe national park from Livingstone. Everything from the transfer to the safari itself ran seamlessly. Chobe national park is beautiful and we were lucky enough to see 3 of the big 5. The campsite was idyllic and the tents spacious and comfortable. I have Seen many a beautiful starry nights before but I have never seen stars quite like the ones we saw here.. Nothing short of awesome. The guide, TK, was both knowledgable and enterntaining. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone hoping to visit Chobe national park from Livingstone.

The Bust Their Butts for You!
This is the second time I have worked with Shadrkck and he does everything he can. Say you want to go on a MicroFlight tomorrow, he makes it work for you. The photo safari to Chobe in Botswana was a great time. I had done this before but this time it was even better. First, you do the drive through the park, then you go on a boat up the Chobe River and see a whole different view which was amazing. I will say everything we wanted to do , they made happen!

University Research Program
Luciano Tours and Travel is a wonderful company. I have used tour companies in a variety of countries around the world and from my experience, it doesn't get better than this. Mr. Shadrick Luyanga is very patient, flexible, and kind. He was always able to address our needs and adjust the program and the itinerary to maximize our experience. We were a group of 10 and this was the first time that Luciano Tours had assisted a university study program. I was impressed and grateful for the hard work, support, and planning provided by the company. I will use them each time I return to Zambia and can recommend Mr. Luyanga to all that have an interest in travelling to Zambia and/or neighboring countries. He impressed our group from the US, but also impressed our Zambian colleagues. That is not an easy task given cultural differences and perspectives. Mr. Luyanga is very professional and quite knowledgeable about all aspects of Zambian tourism. He can work with any budget and he gives thoughtful advice. I was also pleased to find a company owned and operated by Zambians. Fantastic trip that is due to a top-notch company and their effort in crafting a program that addressed our unique needs and interests. I am already planning another trip with Luciano Tours and Travel. They are excellent all around.

Zambia Study Abroad
Shadrick, Maxwell and their crew could not have been better! He was an amazing guide and taught us so much about Zambia. He put up with a lot from our group and was always professional yet fun! Can't wait to go back and work with Shadrick again. Highly recommend Luciano Tours for anyone traveling to Zambia or Southern Africa!

Study Abroad in Zambia
Shadrick did an amazing job assisting with everything to hotel accommodations to organizing dental visits for children we were working with. We took seven college students and two faculty to rural Zambia and Shadrick did such an amazing job of making sure students' and faculties' needs were met, that we made the most out of each experience, and were able to relax as well as study!

Arranged for us a walk and helicopter tour of Victoria Falls, cruise on the Zambzi River and a safar
The tours themselves were great, however we were unprepared for the realities. No one told us to bring flashlights,towels and soap for our camping trip. We were not prepared for the primitive nature of our camping. We expected glamping and got a bed on the ground with a very thin foam and very shallow pit toilets. While we enjoyed the safari vey much we would not have chosen that type of accommodation. Better preparation for travellers is essential.

No Worries - All transfers and Activities covered beyond expectations!!!
I was very fortunate to lead 18 of my friends on a trip to Zambia/Zimbabwe/South Africa for three weeks. What an amazing adventure!! We had the great privilege of having Luciano Tours handle our group transfers to and from Livingstone Airport to the Royal Livingstone Hotel. The service did not stop at that point. Shadrick at Luciano Tours suggested activities that our group may enjoy during our short two night stay. Well, everything he suggested was "spot on." He emailed me back and forth over the months leading up to our visit and had everything so very well organized, priced, and so clear with directions. I loved working with him. The Zambezi River Cruise was fabulous! We did the 4:30 cruise with snacks and drinks and the sunset was beyond belief! We also enjoy the Livingstone Island Tour with the walk out to Angels' Pool. Devil's Pool was closed due to the amount of water and current. We had a fabulous time even hiking to the Angels' Pool and breakfast was delicious! I have the highest applauds to give this company, and especially Shadrick! When you find a truly honest company who goes beyond in helping you with everything, no matter if it is small or large, then you have found a treasure! That is how I feel about Luciano Tours. You will love working with this amazing company.

The best safari ever!
My sons and I booked a 3 day 2 night safari in Chobe Park, Botswana. Saying it was amazing is not justice to this incredible experience. Luciano Tours arranged the safari. We saw lions, wild dogs, elephants and about every animal we hoped to on this trip. Our camping was in tents and everything was provided. The food was fantastic and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the trip. Our guide Percy was excellent in finding the animals. We took more than 1,000 pictures. Certainly a once in a lifetime experience.
