Amazing trip to Africa
I would definitely recommend booking with Africa Uncovered Safaris.
Archie, was very kind and helpful during all the process of planning and booking.
The safari tours that they offered were excellent choices with very nice tour guides and drivers. I always felt safe.
Muza, my guide and driver was always attentive to my needs. He is a very reliable guide, helped us to obtain Zimbabwe´s visa faster than any other tour guide, everyone knows him, and that proved to be very helpful.
Accommodations were excellent as well as the food provided along the 14 days tour at Namibia, Botswana and Victoria´s Falls.
Their destinations have a great variety of activities to experience across several locations.
Can´t wait to travel with them again.

Complete support not only during the safari, but also before and after the safari!
Africa Uncovered Safaris made really a good job. Value / money ratio is very good. Archie supported my wife a lot regarding the visa applications and also excursion coordination before and after the safari when we had excursions in Zambia. Muza helped us a lot not only during the safari but also after the safari regarding the multiple excursion arrangements, coordination and transportation. We were happy about everything.
Africa Uncovered Safaris has my highest recommendation.

Clients happiness and comfort was their priority.
I am so impressed by the quality of service I received from Tafara my guide. He was knowledgeable, fun, punctual, and communicated clearly. He genuinely enjoys his job and it was a pleasure to have had him as my guide. The company also is organized and again really focus on their clients having an extraordinary experience, thank you Archie for being so flexible with my late bookings. Highly recommend for single female traveling alone like me!

Very reliable, well organized company
We've been travelling with AUS for 9-days, tailor-made trip in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Program of our trip was prepared by operator and it included Victoria Falls, Chobe N.P., Okavango Delta, Elephant Sands and Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. I must say, it was very diverse and eye-catching excursion. We had possibility to be close to nature and observe many different types of animals from short distance.
AUS company prepared whole trip perfectlly. Everything worked as it should and we felt we were with reliable partner. Price level for the trip was reasonable, so it was really good value for money.
I highly recomend Africa Uncovered Safaris as organizer of vacation trips in southern Africa.

I could write an entire novel about how amazing my trip with Tafara and Africa Uncovered was!
As a solo traveler who had never been to Zimbabwe or Botswana I wasn't sure what to expect going into a 7 day trip. When I first met Tafara and realized it would just be the two of us I felt nervous about how we would get along and what our hours-long drives in the car would be like. Luckily Tafara, much like myself, is someone who loves to talk and took the time to explain the history of Zimbabwe as well as share his own story. This felt very special to me and led to conversations that I will never forget. Tafara helped me through immigration & customs going into Botswana and as we continued driving made sure to stop whenever there was an animal walking alongside the road simply because he knew it would make me happy.
The trip was seamless and together, Archie and Tafara made sure any minor issues were taken care of immediately. Before starting the trip Archie promptly answered every question I had and explained how to obtain my visa at the airport. During the trip Tafara would come and ensure I got to each of my activities safely and on-time and he would be there when I got back. He would excitedly listen as I shared everything I saw and even shared his own knowledge about certain animals and wildlife. This was incredibly helpful during our overnight camping trip to the Okavango Delta. Since I was traveling by myself, Tafara was able to join me on the trip and having someone to share that experience with made it that much more meaningful. He would tell me all about the different animals we could see from our campsite and would ask our guide questions (that I’m sure he already knew the answers to) so I could learn even more about what we were seeing and experiencing.
Overall, this experience has been a highlight of my life and a large reason for that can be attributed to Tafara and the entire Africa Uncovered team. Whoever is reading this, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed when booking with this company and meeting the wonderful staff.

Amazing
We had a wonderful tour with this agency (Vic Falls, Chobe, Moremi, Okavango, Elephants Sand).Our guide Tafara was very good, kind and very professional. I prepared the trip with Archie, who was also very kind, always ready to give us advice and help us. The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls and the flight over the Okavango Delta are absolutely worth doing. Always beautiful lodges and delicious food in every location. Everything was perfect. Africa Uncovered Safari is the best. Trust them completely, perhaps the most beautiful journey of our lives!

Don't go with anyone else!
This was our first time to Africa and didn't know what all to expect. We couldn't be happier when we boarded the plane to go home. Archie helped us with booking our tour of Victoria Falls, Chobe, and Hwange National Parks. He helped book extra hotel arrangements at the end of the trip. He drove us to the airport the day after the tour ended. This means we had nothing to worry about from the entire time we were in Africa.
Tafara was our guide, and we have made a lifelong friend. We didn't have to worry about anything. Tafara ensured all of our tours were confirmed and even helped us book an extra helicopter tour over Victoria Falls. Part of this tour included visiting a local homestead, and this tour company uses some of your fee to buy basic necessities for the family. Visiting this family was the highlight of our trip. Tafara spent extra time as we gathered school supplies and distributed to some local schools. This was not included in the original tour itinerary, and he was glad to make it happen! We truly enjoyed the great amount of time we spent with Tafara. We learned a lot about local culture, life, and animals; and we hope he learned a little about us, as well!
You might find other options at a cheaper rate, but the price was fair. Especially if it is your first trip, we highly recommend you go with a guide. We think about what our trip would have been like if we had not been with a guide. It would have been fine, but the interaction and service made this trip that much easier and much more memorable.
Please support this tour company. They provide a great service and also help with projects int he local community to help make it better. We hope to be back!

Amazing, well-organised tour across Zimbabwe and Botswana
During July, my boyfriend and I went on a Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) and Botswana 9 day tour with Africa Uncovered, with tour guide Tafara. We booked the tour super last minute (only a few weeks before), but Archie and Tafara were so accommodating and the organization of the trip was very smooth. We had the most incredible time exploring all the different magical spots of Botswana and seeing all the animals. We also really enjoyed getting to know Tafara, who was patient and kind, and gave us loads of information about his home country which was fascinating. We had lots of support from Tafara & Archie when my boyfriend came down with the flu, and was feeling very poorly - Tafara took him to a doctor, and was able to change some plans when necessary. They were also very supportive when we decided we did not want to camp in the bush, and helped to swap us back to the hotel. Overall, we'd really recommend both the tour and the company!

Very professional and customer oriented handling
Although in the end I did not decide to do my tour with Africa Uncovered this time (as I had a last-minute possibility to join a mobile safari), I was very impressed how Archie handled my travel request - his professionalism, reliability, customer focus and fast reaction time that I decided to leave this review as I will for sure consider Africa Uncovered for a later safari.
After sending my (very short-term) request I was contacted via WhatsApp call to have a brief discussion and received a tour suggestion by email shortly afterwards. I had a few questions which Archie answered in a detailed manner and he also incorporated my wishes. Archie truly went the extramile to accommodate my requests and left a superb impression of his company with me.
Thanks again and very sorry again it did not work out this time!
