Every African Countries has its own uniqueness
5/5

I had one of the best and life time experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana, hosted by Saimon and Oscar. As a solo traveler, its always finding difficulties and challanging to organize the safaris and travel packages. Fortunately had an effective communication with Saimon and his team managed very well, from the arrival to the departure. He was very flexible in organizing my tour as I love wild life photography, so I spend additional 2 more days in Chobe National Park. The Victoria falls was beautiful, on every angle. Chobe National park, preferred to do evening game drives, as you can see lots of animals and also had a fantastic boat drives on Chobe river. I always prefer to choose camping tour, for its own uniqueness(stay with nature). But the camping in Chobe safari Lodge was the best out of all... it was splendid. Definitely will do again with my family, as they will really love it.

How to exceed your expectations in selecting a Safari
5/5

I chose Zambezi Expedition because it met my desire to go to both Victoria Falls and Botswana for safari. the communications with Zambezi were easy and accommodating. The representative who responded to my initial inquiry was Simon, who was friendly understood what I wanted to experience and said he would prepare an itinerary. I was so pleased how quickly it was completed and frankly the only changes I had to make were to be able to add nights at the beginning and end to accommodate my flight schedule. We worked back and forth and here is the best: Simon and I were both on the cell phone application, "What's App", so we actually talked often to each other, and he was very respectful of the time difference (I am on West USA cost), some 9 hours difference.

As time for my travel approached, I was contacted several more times, just to assure me that all was in order. I was told I would be met at the airport, and that I would be provided all transfers and return to the airport, all included. That was a relief to me.

When I arrived and got through passport control, visa purchase for Botswana, and customs. Sure enough there was my name on a placard, and got assistance with my bags and off we were on this great adventure. I was introduced to the owner, Oscar who was very friendly and all through stay, kept in communication with me.

Accommodations were excellent, food at the hotels were terrific, especially in Botswana.

The day I arrived, I settled in and was soon met by the tour staff and off we went for a twilight cruise on the Zambezi River. Needless to say it was wonderful, with a spectacular sunset. We were provided snacks (more like a meal) and drinks, both alcohol and non-alcohol. It seems as though my camera never stopped clicking.

While staying in Victoria Falls, I was provided a guide to tour the Falls at the National Park. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the Falls, its history and landmarks. I was very impressed. Of note is that I hardly had to every use a taxi and the tour company was always ready to take me places.

After three nights, I was driven to Botswana and took in two days, two river cruises and two game drives. All were prearranged and there was very little waiting time. the people there were very welcoming and efficient. the opportunity to see the animals and water features and birds was a dream come true for me, and it was a better experience due to the planning of Zambezi Expeditions. My bags were waiting for me when I got back from the cruise. The remaining cruise and two game drives were fantastic, getting to see such beauty up close and at the hands of competent and talented staff.

All in All I am happy to recommend Zambezi Expeditions for a Safari experience. You cannot find a better choice.

I was driven back to Zambezi after two days in Botswana

Great tour, exceeded expectations
5/5

We booked our tour with relatively short notice, and Oscar was fabulous at making sure everything was perfect for us. He organised everything to a tee, and the transfers, accom and safaris all exceeded our expectations. We needed to cross borders, and Oscar made everything run smoothly.

We saw so many animals, it really was a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks Oscar

A once in a lifetime experience
5/5

We booked a three days Safari in Chobe National Park.
The camping area and the tours in the park were simply perfect. We felt comfortable, safe and could enjoy the great nature and wildlife at the fullest.
The team of Zambezi Expedition keeps the promises they make and go beyond. A very friendly and caring group that made our stay a once in a lifetime experience. They helped us out in so many more ways then just organizing the trip.
We are very greatfull and can warmly recommend to book your adventure with them. You won't regret it!

Amazing staff and tour!
5/5

Even though we booked only a few days before the trip, verything worked out perfectly. Great guides, great locations, great food and great staff in the office.
The staff is very helpful and makes sure that you feel comfortable. The helped us even crossing boarders and make hotel arrangements in Victoria Falls.
If you are looking for a budget option to visit Chobe National Park, choose their 3 days package. It is the perfect deal. I highly recommend this company!

What an amazing experience and perfectly organised tour!
5/5

Even tho we only booked the tour 2 days before we arrived in Zambia Oscar organising everything perfectly for us and was in perfect communication all the time. From the nice accommodation, sunset boat cruise on the Zambezi to our amazing encounters with wild animals in the Chobe National park. Nothing was too hard for Oscar and he helped us with every step of the way. Would definitely do another tour with this company and will be telling family and friends that’s for sure! Thanks Oscar!

Best budget option - see all the animals
5/5

I did the 3 day Chobe national park tour - this was the cheapest safari I could find and for this budget price, I saw all the animals in Chobe and camped at a beautiful safari lodge (they provide the camping equipment). Oscar and his team were very communicative and made effort to make my safari tour as great as possible and flexible to my timings.

Personable service, competent and accommodating staff
5/5

It was my first trip to Zimbabwe and it was thoroughly enjoyable. We used Zambezi for all land transfers and hotel accommodation for game drives / safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana and everything ran like clockwork. Liaised with Laura before the trip and she worked around my preferred itinerary, picked us at the airport and reminded us of our itinerary daily. Norman drove us around all 5 days, covering both Zimbabwe and Botswana. When I needed transport to check into another hotel, Oscar turned up in a booked cab to pick us up in 20 minutes even though it was an ad-hoc request. The commitment and personalized service rendered by the staff was highly commendable. Would not hesitate to recommend Zambezi to anyone wishing to have a fuss-free, safe and enjoyable safari experience.
