Vic Falls Spectacular
We did the 6 day Victoria Falls spectacular, which was personalised for our travel dates. Joseph was quick to respond to all emails, and put our minds at ease heading on our trip. Once we arrived our tour guide Frank was excellent, he looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed every part of our stay. Each tour we went on was private, which made the experience that much better. I cannot speak highly enough of Frank, as well as the other guides at both Chobe and Hwange National Park. Really hope we can travel with this company again soon

Good One-Day Chobe Trip
While we were in Victoria Falls, we wanted to do a short safari at either Chobe or Hwange, so we chose the full-day trip to Chobe with African Coast. The trip was very well organized, including the border crossings, and we saw plenty of wildlife on our route. Obviously, you won't see as much as you would on a multi-day safari that goes deeper into the park, but for a same-day trip, everyone in our group really had a good time. I recommend African Coast highly for this itinerary.

Frienship with Rhinos
I don't have too much to say. The walking rhino safari exceeded all my expectations and it was an unforgetable experience. The citytour in Livingstone and the visit to the Chief Mukuni Village were also very interesting thanks to the high professionalism and friendliness of our guide Joseph

Fun and reliable
Our experience with the Chobe safari was excellent. Our guide went out of his way to find all of the animals that we should see in Chobe. We had a hard time finding the baboons, but our guide did not give up and at the end of our safari we found many baboons. There were moms and babies, baboons in trees, by the water, and all over. We saw lions, giraffes, eagles, hippos, antelope, and many other things. We also did the photo tour on the boat at sunset. The highlight was watching the elephants cross the river to an island in the middle. All in all our trip was great and memorable.

Great Safari experience
My fiancee and I used African Coast Travel & Tours for a 6 days Safari in Vic Falls and Botswana. Joseph (out tour guide) was really knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. With his knowledge of the area, we were able to get a free updrade in Vic Fall for our hotel and were able to book extra activities without any problem.
All the guides in the Safari were knowledgeable and gave us a lot of explanations on the animals and plants we saw. Plus, in Hwange, the guide was able to track a lion only with the paw prints on the ground (This was really nice to track the animal to see them).
The accommodations, food and activities were as described and we really enjoy it. I strongly recommend this Safari and this tour company

All We Could Hope For in Livingstone!
Joseph Moyo was all we could hope for and more in planning and executing our leisure travel. We brought a group of 23 volunteers with us to Zambia to do humanitarian work in Lusaka. Following our work, we planned 4 days in Livingstone for leisure travel. Never having been to Livingstone we looked for someone to guide us as we planned activities. After reading reviews, we settled on African Coast Travel and Tours. Joseph was prompt at responding and always a step ahead of us. We did a jaw dropping tour of Victoria Falls! We saw the falls from both the Zambia and Zimbabwe side, they were spectacular!!!! That evening we were whisked of on a Sunset Cruise along the Zambezi River, it was perfect. The second day we headed to Chobe National Park. We spent the day in Botswana and Zambia. Lunch was amazing at the Chobe Safari Lodge. It was a perfect day, we saw many animals and had excellent guides. Day 3 included a trip to Mukuni Village, Livingstone Museum, and taking in the Maramba Market. That afternoon and Day 4 prior to our departure, Joseph arranged everyone in the groups individual activities including a Lion Walk, Bungee Jumping, Micro Flights, Elephant Safari and much more. We loved every minute of our time with Joseph and his team. They were amazing!

Highly Recommended - 20 day Southern African Safari trip from African Coast Travel
If you are looking for a great, multi-country overview of the highlights of Southern Africa, definitely consider African Coast Travel and Tours based in Zimbabwe. The trip includes South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia. Here is a link describing this 20 day, 5 country trip: http://www.africancoasttravel.com/southern-africa-explorer-safari-package.html.
My husband and I had the pleasure of making this wonderful trip recently. It is a perfect way of seeing many different countries in Southern Africa in a fairly short time frame. One would always like to say longer in certain areas, but for an overview of the 5 countries included, it’s a perfect introduction. There is so much diversity in this trip, from exploring sophisticated cities like Cape Town and Johannesburg, to breathtaking game drives and miracles of nature , to cultural and historical artifacts and interactions with warm, wonderful people.
African Coast Travel takes care of all of the details, from initial airport pick up to all hotels, most activities and meals, internal and inter-Africa flights. We compared the services and amenities of African Coast to numerous other travel group options. We specifically wanted to support local African tour groups and researched many, but also explored group travel packages from the USA, UK, Australia and more. One of the major benefits of the 20 Day African Explorer Safari from African coast was that the pricing was per person and the trip was available for 2 people – thus, it was basically a private tour throughout. Prices of large tour groups were often as much, if not more as African coast, but they would have meant a bus load of 20-40 other people. The benefits of a private tour are innumerable.
Many people still think of Africa as being unsafe and are concerned about traveling there. We certainly didn’t know what to expect, but felt totally safe throughout our tour. We stayed in Cape Town for 5 days before our official tour, and then in Johannesburg for 5 days at the end – thus were on our own, walking the streets, shopping, visiting attractions, etc. We were, naturally careful about going out alone at night (as one would be in most large, unknown cities). But in general we were never concerned about our safety – in fact people went out of their way to ask if we needed help when we were at the subway or bus stops or carrying our luggage around.
So, if you are thinking about visiting Africa, and are looking for a diverse, multi-dimensional experience, definitely contact Joseph at African Coast and start a dialogue. He and the team are flexible and able to customize this 20 day package or many of the other trips they offer. We are already talking about where we want to revisit or other possible African countries to experience and will, of course, contact African Coast Travel.

Fun & Informative !
My partner and I travelled to Namibia for the first time in January with high expectations of amazing landscapes dunes and dessert land. The country didn't let us down - my gosh Namibia is breathtaking! What we loved and did not expect was our lovely tour guide - Joseph and his kindness courtesy, fun and light heartedness! He was very informative telling us about the history of Namibia from the formation of the landscapes, the structure of various towns, to the political and social side of the economy and so much more. Thank you to African Coast Travel for making our trip unforgetable. And most of all thank you to Joseph for the care and attentiveness he took in ensuring we enjoyed our stay :) . I love Namibia !!!

Joseph Was Amazing !
I spoke to a few agents when i first started planning my namibian trip but i picked African Coast Travel & Tours as i felt extremely comfortable with Joseph. He was very prompt in replying my emails and answered all my questions with patience. He was also very quick to understand what i liked and customized our trip accordingly. Everything went very smooth with Joseph and we had one of the best trip in Namibia having him as our driver. I would strongly recommend African Coast Travel & Tour to anyone looking to go to Namibia!
