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.

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.

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.

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.

A perfect week
Very kindly driver and reliable organization quickly answering any question.
Food good and even very good when buffets for breakfast or dinner.
Good balance between car drives, boating or walks through bush.
Very good accomodations (may be one a little less than the others).
Unbeleived places and landscapes (Chobe, Okavango, pans where you are like on the moon, close to elephants in Elephant sands)

Recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris
This is a well-organised and excellent itinerary to deep dive Botswana and Victoria Fall. I traveled to Zimbabwe by myself at the end of Aug and this trip went far beyond my expectations. I spent nine days exploring the Victoria Fall, Okavango Delta, Chobe Natinal Park and Elephant Sands. This was the first time I did safari in Africa and saw packs of lions, elephants, Hippo and even lepard, which is rarely to be found even in Botswana! My accommodations and meals were fabulous and the staff at each safari camp went above and beyond to give me a memorable experience.
Archie provide detailed and well-designed planning before the trip. He was quick to respond and was willing to answer questions. I also want to recognize Tafara's effort to smooth and enrich the whloe trip. He redesigned my schedule in Victoria Fall to accommodate every activities since my flight was delayed, helped with the visa issue at custom of Botswana and selected the best guide for my Safari. He was exceptionally nice and helpful. I will be recommending Archie/Tafara to anybody who is interested in exploring Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Africa Uncovered was great to work with and very accommodating with modifications to our trip!
I traveled to Zimbabwe with a friend of mine from work at the end of July. Working with Africa Uncovered made the experience run smoothly and helped us have an amazing time, getting to do all that we wanted in our short one week trip. Tafara was our guide and quickly became a friend along the way. He took us to all the great places (both touristy and local) in Victoria Falls while throwing in lots of history and facts about the area. Our time was full of great conversation. I learned so much!!
Archie was great to work with before the trip during the planning process. He was quick to respond and was willing to answer questions related to parts of our trip not directly related with the Africa Uncovered portion. We needed to add some extra accommodation and a one day safari to match with our flight plans and there was no issue at all making those changes. They took care of it! Thank you Archie and Tafara for an amazing trip. I hope to go back to Africa and would use their company again in a heartbeat!

Amazing experience
Our safari to Botswana and Victoria Falls was very well organised. Our guide, Tafara, picked us from the airport in Kasane, adapting to our request to start from there. Throughout the whole trip, he really cared for us and our experience, eager to walk an extra mile. Every attraction was as described and better! We particularly liked the salt pans and the Chobe river cruise & rides! In the Okavango delta, we could experience the nature from close, thanks to professional guides, who also built a camp for us and preapared meals. We felt very safe, while staying overnight in the bush and admiring African starry sky. In the elephant sands, we could spend our time with those magnificent animals and went to yet another successful game drive. Than, Victoria Falls were a cherry on the cake - the view was just spectacular.
Africa Uncovered let us experience the bush from various perspectives: from the rivers, game drives and walks, you can also see it from the air in Maun. The acomodation and food were always good, people around always highly professional, reliable and very friendly. Unforgettable experience!

Small group expert
We were picked up from the Vic Falls Airport by Tafara and his young understudy Norman and taken to our accommodation. That night they took us to a local Restaurant and we had some traditional African food. They also arranged for a Helicopter flight over the falls for the next day and a sunset cruise on the river Next daywe did a Vic Falls walk. Take wet weather gear as you will get wet. They also arranged for the BOMA dinner for our last evening, as they said you need to-book in advance They next days we traveled to Botswana and we were looked after well. We also had a couple of days on the delta and camped over with the Elephants
