Extraordinary trip with a warm, knowledgeable guide
My wife and I loved our trip through Zimbabwe and Botswana. Here’s what made the trip amazing:
1) Incredible nature: Chobe and the Okavango Delta were my favorites because we got to see so many animals from such a close distance. Walking among elephants, giraffes, and zebras during the bush walks was truly wild
2) Seamless logistics: Archie was professional and accommodating during the planning process (don’t be put off by WhatsApp because it worked well!), while Tafara ensured every stay and activity was perfectly coordinated during the trip so we never had to worry
3) Fantastic guide: Tafara, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and organized, not to mention a wonderful companion throughout our many game drives and meals together. He could spot animals from far off like no other and an hour later discuss politics over one of many delicious restaurants he brought us to. He’s the best
When we return (and we will), we’d definitely go with Africa Uncovered. They added a ton of value throughout the trip and it couldn’t have been any easier!

Trip of a lifetime!
From the moment we landed, we knew that this was the right tour company for us as Norman and Simba collected us with open arms from the Vic Falls Airport - despite our tour not starting until the following day.
The next morning we were collected again and set off to Vic Falls for a walking tour. This was exceptional, with our guide providing detailed information on the history of the falls. Various view points made for a captivating experience, even with the falls being low on waterfall. Following this we headed off to Botswana, greeted again by a super friendly and always smiling, Norman. Great conversation and education punctuated our trip, making the hour or so drive into Botswana fly over. Especially as we see a mother and baby elephant feeding next to the road. Our afternoon boat safari was amazing, with elephant right up close, hippo lining the shores and beautiful scenery. The evening finished with a lovely dinner with Norman and Simba. Norman continued to do a great job of answering all of our questions and providing brilliant insight into the animals, culture and his experiences.
Our next day is truly one to remember with the two safari trips, morning and afternoon. Elephants everywhere, hippo out of the water and lifelong memories made.
The following day we had requested for an additional excursion to Devil’s Pool, which the team expertly organised. This is a must do, not many people in the world can say they have sat on top of a waterfall!
With the trip finishing with a lovely lunch at the Baines restaurant overlooking the Zambezi, it was a perfect end and way to say goodbye to our guide, Norman.
My wife and I would like to extend an especial thanks to Norman and the team for organising this. Norman’s positivity, excitement both before and after our excursions, and his continuous informativeness really made this trip for us.
We recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris and Norman as guide, for anyone looking to have a super memorable, outstanding trip!

Wonderful Tour with Amazing Guide
My parents and I went on the tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe River in Botswana for 7 days with Africa Uncovered Safaris. The booking process was very easy and Archie was a great contact. Very responsive and answered all of our questions. From the moment we landed in Victoria Falls, our guide Musa was incredible! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after and were able to do all the activities we wanted. One of our travelers ended up having a medical issue on the trip and both Musa and Archie were amazing support, getting us medical treatment immediately and their adaptability allowed us to rearrange our trip to still insure a fantastic experience. Even with the slight hiccup, we only missed one day of activities and all travelers were very happy with our experience overall. The quality of their service has been unmatched to any other tours we have taken before and the price point was very reasonable. All meals were included and the lodgings were great. I highly recommend their services and would use them again in the future!

Outstanding service from Africa Uncovered Safaris, lifetime experience from start to finish!
Thank you very much to Archie and Muza for an incredible experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
Since my very first email, Archie, couldn't have been any more of a gentleman and customer care was 100%.
Nothing was a problem and suited all our needs and more.
Local company with amazing knowledge and very affordable prices for our safari package including nights in Vic Falls.
Muza accompanied us throughout and is an asset to the company and a great guy.
Please book with Africa Uncovered and enjoy the magic of Victoria Falls, Chobe NP, and Hwange NP plus much more
Much appreciated from
Michael and daughter Lauren from the bottom of our hearts

Muza was helpful and organized and accommodating
We went on a 7 day tour of Namibia. Everything was as advertised. Accommodations were great. Muza was a wonderful guide and it was so nice they hired local people to conduct the tours along the way. Very interesting. But be prepared for long drives between places. Namibia is a large country with similar scenery. Archie kept in touch during our trip which was so appreciated. I would recommend this company.

Enjoy!
Service provided by Africa Uncovered Safaris could be described as customer orientated. The response from Archie to our requests were quick. The routine itinerary had been adjusted so as to meet our expectations. The lodges and hotels he arranged were comfortable and clean. Cosmas, our guide, was reliable. We enjoyed every things of the tour and was no doubt to ask AUS to plan for our future trip.

Absolutely perfect experience!
If I had to choose only one word to describe this team, it would be a 'Professional'.
I met Archie & Muza for a 7-day trip. They gave me an immediate answer and crystal clear information from scratch. Every moment of the trip was very well organized by them. Everything on my itinerary was exactly the same as it actually was. They always double checked important issues to prevent falling behind the scheduled plan.
At the same time, they showed me great hospitality. They alway paid attention to me to make sure whether I was feeling comfortable with everything on the trip or not. And they also never lost their sense of humor. Any place was okay as long as we were together.
It was my first time going to Africa. Besides, currently in Korea, it is very hard to get up-to-date information about travel to the African continent. I was very anxious regarding this trip for a number of reasons such as safety, visa issuance, disease and etc. But since I met them, everything was going to be easy. I enjoyed myself very much during the tour.
If I come back to Africa, I'll definitely go on a trip with them again. Hopefully see you soon Muza and Archie!

Excellence All-Around
I recently used Africa Uncovered for a week-long stay in Botswana, and what a fantastic experience it was.
Archie was promptly communicative every step of the way, and was so helpful in creating a safari plan that included every location I wanted to see. The great level of communication was especially important to me as I was a solo female traveler—I needed a company could trust.
The guide for the trip, Mr. Tafara, was simply wonderful. Professional, knowledgeable, and always there to help to ensure there were no issues. Mr. Tafara went above and beyond to make sure we got the best experience—for example, I mistakenly had not allotted time to visit Victoria Falls and it was not part of the safari itinerary I chose. When Mr. Tafara realized this, and given how close we were to the Falls, he arranged a visit and walk-through of the Falls while he knowledgeably narrated. He did this, and yet we managed to not miss out on any time anywhere else! He built in extra time throughout the trip so that we would be punctual to our destination, but also could stop and enjoy wildlife viewing on the journey. (Yes, you will see LOTS of wildlife during the car rides!) The timing and planning were meticulous.
This trend held true throughout the trip. For the entire week, he maximized our adventures while keeping our comfort and safety in mind.
Because Africa Uncovered contracts with local safari guides at every park/location, we received specialized, local knowledge for each and every location. It was fantastic. Mr. Tafara would be up and awake with us at 6am to ensure the local guide picked us up for the safari, and when we returned to the lodge, Mr. Tafara would be punctually waiting for us. We would then have a meal together to review the safari and get briefed on the plan for the following day. Everything was seamless and impeccably done.
The lodges were beautiful.
The food was delicious.
The safaris were spectacular.
Africa Uncovered has clearly established itself as one of the best. I highly recommend them for your African adventures!
