Unforgettable Botswana Group Safari with Tafika Travel Advisors
Our group safari experience with Tafika Travel Advisors in Botswana was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the team ensured that every aspect of our journey was seamless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking wilderness of this stunning country.
The safari was expertly organized, with a well-thought-out itinerary that covered some of Botswana’s most spectacular wildlife destinations. Whether we were exploring the vast plains of the Moremi Game Reserve, tracking big cats in Savuti, or witnessing the incredible herds of elephants in Chobe National Park, each day brought new and unforgettable moments.
Our guide was not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about Botswana’s wildlife and ecosystems. His keen eye for spotting animals and his fascinating insights into their behavior made our game drives both exciting and educational. We had incredible sightings of lions, leopards, wild dogs, and massive herds of elephants, not to mention the diverse birdlife that made every drive a visual delight.
The accommodations provided throughout the trip were comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly situated to offer stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. After long days of adventure, it was a pleasure to relax at the camps, enjoying delicious meals under the stars and sharing stories around the campfire.
The attention to detail and personalized service from Tafika Travel Advisors made this safari truly special. From the warm hospitality of the staff to the smooth logistics, everything was handled with professionalism and care. This experience exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Tafika Travel Advisors to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable Botswana safari adventure.

Exceptional & Excellent Honeymoon Services
We had an exceptional honeymoon safari booked with Tafika Travel Advisor. Paul was very accommodative from our first email till our last day of travel.
Everything went as per our request and plan. We had a wonderful services in Victoria Falls Livingstone Zambia from accommodation, activities and all the meals was fantastic. We were surprised with a candle light table which was fully packaged with nice food and a bottle of wine.
The game drive in the park was one of the best activity ever as we were treated as VIP with the privacy we needed as a new couple.
We cant wait to go back on our first marriage anniversary in 2026 again!!!

Unresolved Payment Issue
I want to share my personal experience with Tafika Travel Advisor, represented by Mr. Paul, In August 2024, I made a payment of $510 for a service that I unfortunately never received. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, I have not been able to recover my money.
As someone who has worked in the tourism industry for over 10 years, this has been a deeply disappointing and stressful experience. I believe transparency is important, so I am sharing this to encourage others to exercise caution when choosing a business partner.
I have reported this matter to the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Zambia and other relevant organizations. I also have documentation related to my case. I recommend that anyone considering these companies conduct thorough research before making any commitments.

Outstanding, great communication, pleasant to work with. Every part of the planning was superb
Working with the Tafika agent Paul was very pleasant. He had great communication and was very flexible in adjusting the itinerary based on our needs and desires. While in Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, our guides were superb and very knowledgeable about each excursion and our safety & enjoyment was their #1 concern. Our driver Emmanuel was the best. Very accommodating for all our needs and gave us suggestions for the best places to purchase local souvenirs and African clothing. This truly was a trip of a lifetime and I’m so happy that Tafika made my birthday trip so special. Every time I travel to Southern Africa, Tafika will be the tour company I use each and every time. Thank you for such an outstanding experience .

Very organized and value for money
I researched various travel agencies and Paul came up the most responsive and reasonable price too. The trips to Zambia and Lake Malawi were excellent. We had great Safari guides as well as drivers , Ackim (Zambia) and Sydney (Malawi ). Sydney made our trip in Malawi most memorable.
A wonderful trip!

The guys and the bosses were nice enough, but logistically it was a disaster.
The communications were not good because the contact person were offline due to him being working in areas with low internet coverage, but answered when he had internet available.
We ordered 3 transfers, Harare- Vic Falls, Vic Falls- Livingstone and Livingstone- Lusaka.
Due to the company based in Zambia mixed the dates they hired a Zimbabwe based company to do Harare- Vic Falls. They came late,
drove a 14 hour ride instead of the 7 hour we ordered and demanded us to pay black marked fuel price at 50% higher cost because they had bought it at the black market. Then we understood why they drove the 14 hour route, they could charge more fuel at 50% higher price. I believe they payed the normal fuel price. (This was the Zimbabwe based company they hired.)
We stayed in Vic Falls for 2 nights, then the Zimbabwe guys should drive us to the border dropping us off and be picked up by Tafika travels in Zambia. By this time Tafika and the Zimbabwe based guys had started to fight over the the payment between them, and they didnt want to drive us before Tafika payed them. And my desperate messages to Tafika about our problem werent answered. We had already pre- payed all transfers, so we refused to pay the 800$ the guys demanded from us.
To be fair, our total payement was 960$ for 3 transfers, so the demand for 800$ for 1 transfer was redicilous, but that should have been agreed between them before the transfer, and not become our problem 5 minutes before the original departure leaving us with no transfer between the 2 countries.
The reason for using 2 companies was that we headed for Vic Falls february 9th, but the day before we understood Tafika thought we were going the wednesday 3 days later. So Tafika hired theese guys for the first half of our trip since they had no cars able to pick us up at 1 day notice. The mixed dates mentioned above.
We ended up with paying a local driver money to bring us to Livingstone, Zambia. There we met eventually the driver from Tafika. He was very nice, but had a car to small for our luggage. We ordered a car for 5 persons with luggage (5 suitcases + small bags), but the car could take 1 or 2 suitcases in the trunk. We had to pay 50$ extra for sending the luggage by bus, but only 2 out of 5 came to the hotel so 3 of us had no luggage half the Lusaka stay.
We demanded a refund for the Vic Falls- Livingstone transfer and the 50$ extra luggage cost and were told we should get that back.
After 3 months of waiting we have got only promises but no refund. My last question about the refund werent even answered. That makes me writing this review giving a 1 star. I dont like doing it since the guys were very nice and also promised a refund, but 3 after 3 months I give up.
