Simon from Africa Best Safari exceeded our wildest expectations
We contacted Simon a few days before arrival.
He responded to our inquiry very quickly and comprehensively.
He took GREAT care of us
He picked us up from the bus, arranged a great overnight stay, and booked Safafi at Hwange Park, the Zambezi Sunset Cruise, and a guided tour of Victoria Falls.
Organization at the HIGHEST level, everything on time.
We highly recommend the services of Africa Beast Safaris.

Amazing 6 days in Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park!
We recently returned to the UK from 9 days in Zimbabwe and Zambia, with 6 of those days spent in the care of Simon from Africa Beast Safaris. Simon booked accommodation, tours and travel, and either shepherded us himself or arranged transportation as necessary. We decided to book with Simon because he had great reviews, his quotation was very clear and he was responsive in all our pre-arrival communications. Our experience lived up to his excellent reputation and we loved our holiday at Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. Simon was friendly and attentive with a great sense of humour, responding to our requests and making sure we were enjoying ourselves. My wife and I are very happy to recommend Simon and his company.

Simon was amazing. He got us exactly where we needed to go and we saw some amazing sights.
We only had a short amount of time in Victoria falls region, so we went with Simon and Africa Beast Safaris to visit Chobe National Park for a day trip. Simon was incredible and he made it incredibly easy and enjoyable to cross over to Botswana and experience both a land tour via an open air 4x4 and also a boat tour on the Chobe river. All of our guides on both of those excursions were amazing.
On the 4x4 tour we saw lions, lots of antelope, lots of elephants, water buffalo and more.
The boat tour was what our family enjoyed the most. It was incredible getting up close and personal with hippos, giant crocs, elephants, birds and buffalo. We would highly recommend this tour.
Plus lunch was amazing!

Amazing, perfectly planned adventure!
Simon put together an absolutely stunning trip of Zimbabwe for me. Gave him a rough outline of the top two things I wanted, the number of days I had and he returned promptly with the perfect trip that fit the budget! Simon was very hands on and communicative and reliable. The trip was well planned to give me rest and breaks while also thoroughly immersing me in the beauty of Victoria Falls and the adventures of safaris. 7 days/6 nights was perfect to give me the full experience of seeing Victoria Falls, the Zambezi, and multiple days of safaris. Simon was also very helpful in last minute changes of schedule and activities due to my changes in schedule and needs. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Simon!

Fabulous Full Day Safari
We were based in Victoria Falls for our week and wanted to include a day at Hwange National Park. Simon was very easy to deal with and arranged for us to be collected at our Vic Falls hotel at 0600 and our driver Liberty was there on time with a very comfortable car. Only one other person joined the two of us which was much appreciated as we had requested a small group. Liberty was a great driver and had good conversation.We met our guides on arrival at 0900 and the three of us transferred to the jeep. Within 10 minutes we saw lions, one male, two females. Just before lunch we were the only group to spot a leopard. We followed and watched him for about twenty minutes until he went up a tree and late on in the day went back to the same space the guide had marked and watched him again, still hunting. It was a long day but a great safari, seeing blue wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles and a wonderful scene at the waterhole of elephants bathing and drinking late afternoon. Very smooth journey home for 8 p.m. A bit later than scheduled, but only because Liberty stopped at the Painted Dog rehab centre so we could view two dogs they had there recovering from a lion attack. A very memorable day!

Unforgettable Zimbabwe safari experience
We just got back from an incredible 6-day trip to Zimbabwe with African Beast Safaris, and it was beyond amazing! Simon, our guide and trip manager, made everything so easy and enjoyable. Despite some flight delays (which were booked separately), Simon took it in stride, rearranging everything so we didn’t miss a beat. He was always available and responsive, no matter the time of day, which really put us at ease.
We stayed at Elephant Hills Resort while in Victoria Falls, which was absolutely gorgeous. Then, we moved to Ivory Lodge in Hwange National Park, and that place was a highlight! It had its own wildlife concession area, so we were surrounded by animals all the time — it felt like a private safari experience just staying there.
The trip was packed with amazing activities: morning, full-day, and evening safaris, smooth transfers between locations, and a lovely boat trip. We also had an incredible night of stargazing with Amarula (highly recommend!) where we got a full guide on all the star constellations visible in the African sky — such a unique and relaxing experience.
What made the trip even better was that we had two groups who booked everything separately, but African Beast Safaris made sure we all shared the experiences together without a hitch. Both Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park were stunning, and we saw so much wildlife it was unreal!
There were no issues at all, and Simon’s attention to detail made everything run like clockwork. If you’re planning a safari in Zimbabwe, I can’t recommend African Beast Safaris enough — it was truly an unforgettable adventure, and we’d do it all again in a heartbeat!

Thank you Saimon, for organizing an awsome, memorable time!!!
I had one of the best and life time travel experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana, hosted by Saimon . As a solo traveler, its always finding difficulties and challanging to organize the safaris and travel packages. Great communication since planning and organising the safaris with Saimon until the big day has been arrived. 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, was beyond my imagination. It had its own uniqueness, Specially the boat drive on Chobe river. Its an awesome place for bird watching. 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.

Excellent trustworthy services
Simon helped us with airport transfer and organising camping safari experience in Chobe National park. He has been very punctual and very trustworthy organiser and helped us even with fixing some of our unexpected issues both in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Our luggage was due to be picked up from the lodge that we stayed but got stuck inside after hours. He helped us with all the logistics which wasn’t even his job but his mentality towards customer service is just exceptional and always made sure we were ok. He is also very flexible and also always gives very quick response as well so that we don’t need to worry about anything while we are on holiday. He has been always there for us.
The quality of the experiences is also fantastic. Boat cruise that we had in Chobe river and game drives were pretty much like a private tour and it was not in massive boat. So it made it easier to ask questions to knowledgeable guide, learned a lot about wildlife and we had great time there. Comparing with other boats we saw on the river, it was just perfect size to quietly be close to the wildlife and not scaring the animals off. Big boats are like 2 story ones but our one was for up to 11 people or so.
His business is relatively new but his professionalism is far more than exceptional even for me knowing the top level Japanese customer service.
I highly recommend him - and I definitely will come back and book with Africa Beast Safaris on other activities ! Thank you Simon for everything.

Wonderful Chobe Safari Day trip
We were picked up on time, and were assisted through Botswana immigration. Both land and boat safari were great.
Simon and his team did an awesome job.

Best experience of a lifetime!!
From the pick up and drop off at the airport our two week vacation with Africa Beast could not have been more perfect! We saw and did everything we wanted to see. Simon and team were flexible to our changing needs and were always spot on time and provided everything we wanted (and more). I absolutely love this company and their employees! We had the best scouts for finding all the animals we hoped to encounter, we had an amazing experience camping in the bush (which was fabulous despite my original concerns of camping at my age (58)). We felt like family and hope they will all some visit us in California.
Absolutely wonderful team, look no further!
