Great friendly service, we felt so looked after!
From the planning stage to our actual holiday the communication from Exec African travel and tours was fantastic.
Manuel planned our itinerary so we got to experience everything we desired.
Our tour guide Lee was waiting at the airport and escorted us to our private air conditioned vehicle, with a cool bottle of water waiting. While driving to our accommodation he confirmed our evening activity Dinner on the Zambezi River and what time he would be picking us up. On arrival at our hotel he bought our suitcases to reception and made sure we had a smooth check in. We stayed at Dzimbahwe lodge Victoria Falls. The lodge was small and fairly basic but was a good base for our up coming activities. We had a swim then prepared for our sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Lee picked us up and transferred us to the beautiful boat where we had an amazing dinner with beautiful wines cruising the Zambezi while seeing the wildlife in and around the river. Returning back to port Lee once again was waiting to take us back to our accommodation during this time he confirmed pick up time in the morning for our Chobe National Park Safari.
After an early breakfast Lee picked us up and transferred us to the Botswana border and handed us over to our Safari guide Cobra. After border formalities we enjoyed the Safari seeing many animals we had an included lunch at a very nice lodge then we enjoyed an afternoon cruise on the Chobe River, not as luxurious as our sunset cruise but very enjoyable. Coming back to the border once again Lee was there waiting for us to take us back to our lodge so we could prepare for our evening activity a special
BOMA Dinner and drum show. The food and entertainment were fantastic the only complaint that I had was that some people were smoking inside the eating area. Once again after our dinner/show our guide Lee was waiting for us to take us safely back to our lodge.
Day 3 we were up early for a morning walk around the falls followed by breakfast then off to do a helicopter ride over the falls, we then returned to our lodge freshened up where we then checked out and started our journey to Hwangi Safari Lodge after checking in to this beautiful lodge we had some lunch and a swim then went on an afternoon Safari adventure. Returning to enjoy the Lodges restaurant for dinner and well deserved sleep.
Day 4 after an early breakfast we had a full game drive with Lazarus he taught us about tracking animal prints and well we ended up having morning tea with a couple of lions that were hanging around a water hole, I had to pinch myself to check that this was really happening. Then off we went again to spot more animals, but returned to the water hole to enjoy watching our lions and a herd of elephants while enjoying our packed lunch. It was an amazing day!
We returned back to the lodge with time to freshen up and enjoy a cocktail before dinner. Lee joined us for dinner on the lawn and we enjoyed telling him about our wonderful safari and lunching with lions.
Sadly after breakfast we had to head back to Victoria Falls for our plane back to Johannesburg.
Lee was an intelligent guide and answered all our questions and was full of interesting information. We were very lucky to have such delightful person look after us, we felt like royalty.
Manuel from Exec African tours and travel coordinated our trip wonderfully I highly recommend this company. Great communication skills and they leave nothing to chance.
We were extremely happy with this part of our 3 week tour of Africa.
Perfect
Our guide Lee was a lovely young gentleman who looked after us and communicated clearly, was friendly and informative and ensured we had a wonderful time. He was totally professional while engaging with us and answered all our questions as well s given us insight to the local lifestyle. He was EXCELLENT in every way . We had just come from a previous tour company where our guide was not at all helpful so we were delighted to receive the high standard of assistance from Lee and this much much better tour company.
From my very first interaction with Exec Africa from a quote to our last drop at the airport they were fantastic to deal with and totally recommend this company.

Extraordinary
We were visiting Victoria Falls for the first time and honestly had no idea what to expect. There were so many tour guides to choose from, and I had been in contact with several, but from the very beginning, nobody stood out like Manuel. He was incredibly impressive, kind, and knowledgeable. Even before I booked, he gave me valuable advice and helped me plan out my itinerary to perfection. The pricing was fair, and he was always available to answer any questions.
Upon arrival, Lee, our tour guide, was there to greet us with a big smile and positive energy. His professionalism was top-notch, the vehicle was clean, cool and comfortable, and throughout every shuttle ride, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. The seamless transfer over the border and back again was just another example of how much care and attention to detail they put into everything.
If you're looking for a trustworthy, hardworking team that genuinely cares about their guests, look no further. Both Manuel and Lee made our trip unforgettable, and we will definitely be back.
Exec Africa Travel will undoubtedly be our tour guide of choice for future visits. Thank you both for the exceptional hospitality!

Memorable Trip of a Lifetime!!! Highly Recommended!!
The 8-Day Hwange - Victoria Falls - Okavango Delta Tour with Exec Africa Travel and Tours was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was meticulously organized, allowing us to enjoy every destination to the fullest. Our guide, Likhwa, was amazing, sharing his deep knowledge and ensuring we had incredible wildlife sightings throughout the journey. Manuel handled the communication excellently and was very prompt.
From the majestic Victoria Falls to the awe-inspiring safari in Hwange and the tranquil beauty of the Okavango Delta, every moment of this tour was unforgettable. If you’re looking for a well-rounded, expertly managed safari adventure, I highly recommend this tour!

Exec Africa Travel and Tours was exceptional.
The 4-Day Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park Tour with Exec Africa Travel and Tours was exceptional. The itinerary was well-crafted, allowing us to fully enjoy both Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Our guide, Mama G, was fantastic—knowledgeable and attentive, making the trip both informative and enjoyable. We were captivated by the stunning views of Victoria Falls and thrilled by the game drives in Chobe National Park. The organization was flawless, ensuring a smooth and memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience these incredible destinations!

We had an amazing tour with Exec Africa, beyond our expectations and we highly recommend them.
Lee from Exec Africa Travel and Tours was our lovely guide for a 5 day private tour of Victoria Falls, Chobe, Hwange and more. Lee was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and great company for my husband and I. Lee took care of our every need and we did not have to worry about a thing. Our experiences at Chobe, VIC Falls, Hwange, Boma and an authentic village trip were all beyond our expectations. We believe this was the best trip we could experience in Southern Africa because of Lee and Exec Africa. We were also able to be flexible with our choices everyday because of the benefit of a private tour and the highly responsive and friendly Lee. The whole experience from initial contact with Manuel to our last day was perfect.

All organized
The first day we did the Chobe sunset cruise and it was great.
The second day we did the Chobe cruise in the morning and the 4x4 in the afternoon. In my opinion, there was not enough time on both tours so I recommend investing an extra day in a full day 4x4.
The third day we did a full day 4x4 and it was extraordinary.
The fourth day the transfer to all the sites of Victoria Falls was smooth sailing. Both the zip line, seeing the park, the helicopter and the sunset cruise were great.
The fifth day Devils Pool was an unforgettable experience but the transfer was a disaster. Only this transfer needs to be improved.

Well Organised Safari Trip
From the planning stage to the actual safari trip, the service and communication with Exec Africa was excellent.
We told them that we wanted to see as much wildlife as possible so they put together a 9-day game viewing trip.
Our driver for the 9 days was Lickhwa and he couldn’t do enough for us. We learned so much about life in Zimbabwe from him - he is such a lovely man.
Each game drive we did had its own highlight. Didn’t get to see a leopard but saw loads of other wildlife.
The drive from Bulawayo to Victoria Falls after seeing the rhinos in Matobo National Park was LONG but that is because of the awful state of the roads - will never complain about pot holes in this country ever again.
Make sure you have small denominations of USD as we found that most of the lodges did not have change so you end up paying over the odds for drinks!
The 2 points above are nothing to do with Exec Africa so I would thoroughly recommend this Company to make sure you have a memorable, well organised safari trip.

Great and reliable tour operator
I want to start with how the tour works. In our case a driver from Exec Africa picked us up in a van from our hotel and drove us to the border. He helped us with crossing out of Zimbabwe and into Botswana. He stayed with us until we left with a local Botswana tour drove us in an open air vehicle to Chobe. We then had an included wonderful lunch at a lodge. Then we transferred to a local boat operator. Then back to the vehicle back to the border. And then we were picked up by our original Zimbabwe driver.
The whole experience was wonderful. We saw a lot of animals and leaned a lot. Our Exec Africa was also very proactive about making sure we knew when and who would be picking us up. They also quickly answered any questions I had. I really have no complaints.
Our Zimbabwe driver was Likhwa and our Botswana driver was Cobra. Both were fantastic. I forget our boat operator's name. He was good but perhaps a bit long winded. It was still a wonderful experience.
