Excellent experience, would recommend to anyone who is unsure of which tours to book
We only wanted to do 1 overnight due to our schedule and this was the only company offering that. We got picked up at our hotel in Vic Falls and we're taken to Botswana for a game drive, river cruise and lunch followed by a stay in a tent at a resort. They packed breakfast for us for our very early morning game drive the next day and it was the best safari we had done all week out of many many game drives. Excellent service and staff. I wish I could go again!

Safe and trustworthy safari provider
We booked the safari trip via the internet and arrived in Maun in Botswana excited and expectant. We are more than satisfied with contact from the contact we had in advance via the website, and how we have been met and followed up throughout a 9 day trip. They have done everything to ensure that we have memorable experiences of animals, nature, bird life and culture. We had the mobile number of the guide who accompanied us, as safety and reassurance in case someone should arise when we were on our own. Botswana is an expensive safari country, but we learned that it was worth the experiences we have had and the way we have been followed up. Recommend them to others planning a safari.

Budget friendly experiences around Victoria Falls
This was the only budget friendly tour I can find online to Chobe.
The tour was great, the guides knowledgable, the lunch tasty and the communication was very good,
Initially, there was confusion as to where I'm staying as there are two hotels with same name in Zambia and Zimbabwe, so they were waiting for me in another country (literally). Once we figured out that was the case, they arranged someone to pick me up from the correct country/location. I did not miss anything.

Great safari in Zimbabwe and Botswana!
We were a group of three travelers who chose Zambezi Exp for our shared safari to Zimbabwe and Botswana. Overall, we had a positive experience with the company. We were always in touch with Silence from the office, who was always ready to respond to our questions and needs during the trip. Our driver, Francis, was extremely friendly and willing to help us with all our needs.
The major problem we experienced was the lack of details in the program provided by the company. It was a mutual mistake, as we didn't ask for more details prior to the trip, and their program was very general. I would recommend adding more details so that travelers know exactly what they will do during the safari, as many activities and meals were not included in the total price or were not clear (for example, the experience in the bush).
Despite that, the team organized last-minute activities for us that were not included in our package, and we enjoyed all the safaris. The guides were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and parks. The accommodations were perfect for our needs and corresponded to what we had paid for. We did have some dietary misunderstandings with some accommodations and a lack of options (the three of us are vegan), but overall, we had access to plant-based options. This needs to be addressed better.
As for the activities, we really loved the quieter safari and wildlife-watching experiences and enjoyed them more than the "sundowners," which were more crowded and loud. I'd rather have those as optional activities and include birdwatching and other safaris as part of the paid program.
I highly recommend the company promote the use of refillable water bottles and water jugs instead of single-use plastic bottles, as plastic waste is a major concern.
Despite these points that need to be addressed by the company, I recommend Zambezi Exp for their promptness and kindness in assisting us. I hope to see you guys on another adventure!

Magnificent experience. Magnificent team
We have done a 9-day route visiting Victoria Falls and Botswana with Zambezi expeditions. It has been incredible. A beautiful and unforgettable trip. With a perfect organization. Comfortable accommodations with everything you need. The Zambezi team has been very friendly and always present for everything we needed. Without a doubt a magnificent experience and highly recommended.

Great team organizing a great experience
We travelled as a family of three who went to Victoria falls, Hwange National Park with further added visit to Chobe National Park in Botswana and last minute addition to Livingstone, Zambia. We had a great experience with the team from Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours. The game drives and river cruises (especially in Chobe) was such a great experience. We saw many of the animals we wanted to see. We even saw an elephant and hippo in the town while travelling to locations! Victoria falls was of course beautiful sight to be behold! This was our first trip to South Africa and this was such a unique trip to us.
In terms of the team, Silence was great to work with and was very responsive to our inquires and questions organizing our trip. She gave us clearly communicated and reliable answers. We would also like to express our greatest thanks to Oscar who was a constant extremely hospitable and friendly presence throughout our tour. He had made last minute arrangements for us quickly to eat at many interesting restaurants in Victoria falls including the Dusty Road with its unique Township experience and the Boma which had a dinner and energetic Drum/dance show. He also arranged a last minute trip to Zambia and Livingstone when we had a free day to fill. We could tell he was extremely busy with numerous other travelers but he always had a happy attitude and pretty punctual for all our schedules. Oscar made a unique experience comfortable, smooth with an attitude like a friend who was taking us around. I would highly recommend choosing this company and would recommend it to our friends!

Fantastic experience!!!
I took a 5-day Victoria Falls and Chobe Safari tour as a solo traveler. Seeing so many lions up close on an early morning safari in Chobe was an experience I will never forget. What amazed me was how punctual they were at all times! They picked me up on time every day and made me feel at ease.

Trustworthy
This has been an unforgettable experience. Zambezi' s team, Oscar, Francis and Silence were extraordinary, made sure to be in time, carried water for us and even meals when was needed. Our driver and guide Francis shared with us all his knowledge of animal wildlife which was amazing and entertaining. Lodging was comfortable and ethnic. On the whole a great team and a wonderful way to get to know Africa, it's people and nature. Would like to repeat soon.

Smooth, well organised & reliable
Oscar and Silence were so friendly and flexible as they arranged and accommodated for our needs. Though the agency works with various agencies or drivers to do our tours, they were mostly on time and reliable. This is a tour agency that you can trust. No issue with the communication at all. We truly enjoyed the trip.
