Using local Zimbabwean guides clearly gave us the best possible experience.
We hired DK Tours & Safaris to arrange a two-week trip throughout Zimbabwe. We started in Harare, went to Mana Pools National Park, Great Zimbabwe, Matobo Hills National Park, Hwange National Park, and Victoria Falls. Webster Musaidzi arranged the whole thing, including all the hotels, safaris, and transfers.
Everything went very smoothly. Webster and Brighton drove us through much of the country and were excellent guides and great people to travel with. They were gracious in adding in additional stops for things were were interested in, including a visit to a village.
The only problem we had was at the Meikles Hotel in Harare, where we had a wallet stolen from our room and were drastically overcharged. DK Tours & Safaris were not responsible for this and presumably will not use the hotel in the future.
One of the nicest things about the trip was that we worked with Webster to plan our OWN itinerary, focused on what we wanted to do and when. Webster was super knowledgeable and accommodating. It was also good to know that our money was staying in Zimbabwe and benefiting the local economy.
If you are planning to go to Zimbabwe, Botswana, or Zambia, I would heartily encourage you to choose DK Tours & Safaris to arrange your trip and execute it for you.

Flexible and reliable, trying to make your holiday a success
Webster was very helpful in organising our stay in that part of Africa. Contact with him was very easy. We used his services for airport transfers, the extended day tour in Chobe, the helicopter flight, the sunset dinner cruise and I can't say any negative word about it. I would maybe only suggest a better boat for the river safari in Chobe. We also did the guided tour of the Falls but we thought that this was probably not necessary and we could have done it on our own. Still, I can't say any bad word about that toir either. Everything was very well organised and Webster showed a lot of flexibility. I can highly recommend DK Tours. He uses reliable partners.

Thumbs up for a very competent and reliable travel agency in Victoria Falls
DK Tour is a reputable and competent travel agency in Victoria Falls. The contact, the advice, the communication and the payment for the trip were easy and efficient and far cheaper than with a travel agency from Germany. My wife and I were excellently looked after on site by the boss, Mr. Webster Musidzi, and given the best advice on the selection of events and providers (helicopter flight, dinner cruise). Mr. Musidzi was always personally on hand to make sure we were picked up from the hotel on time. We would highly recommend DK Tours in Victoria Falls for planning a trip to Zimbabwe/Botswana.

Excellent service and value for money
As always, DK Tours has exceeded my expectations as the go to tourism company for a wholesome safari/vacation experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. This is an account of my most recent visit from May 29 -June 5, 2022. This is a very long review and l hope it’s reassuring if you are having doubts about booking with DK Tours :)
Day 1: The trip started with an airport pickup to my accommodations.
Day 2: Was in the form of a next day guided tour of the majestic Mosi-oa-Tunya/ Victoria Falls. I was quite happy to have someone take the pictures. Trust me, you will want someone to take them! This was my first time traveling to Victoria Falls in June and the amount of water falling was truly amazing! I remember jokingly comparing the Falls to the Niagara Falls in Canada with another tourist who was visiting from New York. In his words, ‘the Victoria Falls are much better because they are all natural’ and we have the pictures to prove it! This was followed by lunch at the LookOut Cafe, the Lookout burger is to die for and the views, oh my!
Day 3: This was a more relaxed day to shake of the jet lag and exploring the city followed by a splendid dinner at Boma and some drinks at 3 Monkeys.
Day 4: The day started pretty early with a drive to the Zim/Botswana Kazungula border and there was plenty of wildlife along the way peeping from the darkness. We arrived at the border at day break, just as the border opened, and were picked ip from the Botswana side by Kidi, beginning our early morning Game drive. They say the earliest bird picks the fattest worm, which is probably why we were quite likely to run into a pride of 16 lions! This was my first close encounter with lions and by the end of the day the count had gone up to 20! No other group had seen that many by end of day. We had more close encounters with elephants, giraffes, impala, kudu, buffalo and hippos! My only regret was not seeing zebras that day (but there’s plenty of zebras at the Hwange National Park). We had buffet lunch in a lovely Lodge along the river and had a cruise after lunch. It was amazing to see the wildlife from the water side and elephants dipping in and playing in the water and a gorgeous sunset to end the day. We were then taken back across the body and slept the rest of the way after a very long, amazing day!
Day 5: The last day in Victoria Falls was topped by a 15 minute helicopter ride over the falls. As much as l loved the Falls from the ground, the view is even much breathtaking and better from the sky. You can even spot the devils pool which is on the Zambian side. The ride ended with a fly over the national park (l think) where we spotted some giraffes and elephants. At that point, l was satisfied with the entire trip with all expectations met.
In summary, this is worth the money and will leave you with stories to tell for a lifetime. If you are not sure, ask DK Tours for recommendations, including the best time to visit.
I hope that’s helpful. All the best!

Great company and people.
Had an amazing day on the extended Chobe Day Trip. Webster, Kiddy and Enoch were all great, and helped me to spot lots of wildlife. I highly recommend getting up early to do this trip with DK.

Reliable and trustworthy
I booked with Webster’s company online and he proved to be trustworthy and reliable. He arranged an amazing 3 day camping safari in Chobe. Our guide Jack was very knowledgeable and motivated and went out of his way to help us spot the animals! We enjoyed the safari so much that we then arranged a last minute safari to Hwange and Webster again sorted it out for us seamlessly! I would definitely recommend him as a tour operator. His local knowledge is immense and he was always available and happy to help. For example he sorted our airport pick-up at the last minute and arranged a visit at the wild dog conservation centre on our way to Hwange national park.

Terrific!
We had three tours with Webster - the Zambezi river cruise, the rhino walk on the Zambian side, and the private tour in Chobe National Park in Botswana. The communication with Webster before the trip was effortless, and he helped us choose the various trips. Webster and the people who worked with him were punctual and polite. They were also all well-informed about the area and the wildlife. I even had some good chats with Webster about life in Zimbabwe, the politics, and such. Webster even went out of the way to take us to eateries in Victoria Falls. In all, our stay in Victoria Falls was made great by Webster and his team.

Highly recommended operator.
An exceptional tour. I can’t rate DK Tours and Safaris highly enough. If there was a 6 star rating I would chose it.
I travelled as a single woman and from the time of booking I felt confident that I was dealing with a professional company.
All emails were answered promptly and Webster provided a detailed interactive itinerary for my consideration. I was provided with choices for optional tours and these were all in place before I arrived in Africa.
From my first meeting with Webster I felt confident that I was in safe and capable hands.
My 2 days in Chobe NP were handled by a partner company who were of an equally high standard. Nothing was too much trouble for Nkula who went out of his way to ensure I had a great safari experience.
Webster travelled with me to Elephant Sands and the Okavango Delta. He was extremely good company and very knowledgeable.
My entire trip ran like clockwork. Every pickup was on time, all organised activities were as described and more importantly I felt safe and confident with Webster as my driver and guide.
I would not hesitate to recommend DK Tours and Safaris to anyone travelling in Southern Africa.
