Excellent experience throughout.
It was easy booking this tour as Blessing and Sheila communicated with us so well.
We felt ‘looked after’ from the initial booking right up until the end of the tour, which was excellent. We enjoyed the spectacular Victoria Falls and saw many animals on the safaris (including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, crocodiles, zebras, baboons, impala and many beautiful birds) which were a perfect mix of land and water based.
Muto was an excellent safari guide with a wealth of knowledge. He was punctual and reliable with a great sense of humour.
We would definitely recommend this tour.

Africa Zim provided thorough and thoughtful service, and a spectacular life-time experience!
Big thank you to Blessing and Tendayi!
The 9 day/8 night tour, from Victoria Falls, through Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, and the Okavango Delta, was well organized and an incredible experience. The lodges, tent stays and meals were very satisfactory. So happy to have had the mokoro and nature walks in our tour! An exceptional value. I hope to travel with Blessing and Tendayi again, and highly recommend Africa Zim Travel and Tours!

We could not have ask for a better tour operator than Africa Zim Travel. So organised
Everything was done perfectly. Blessing was in contact the whole time and we shifted our dates so many times and he still helped us. We had a wonderful time and experience. We did the 9days camping tour from the Vic Falls to Maun in Botswana. The whole trip was excellent. We had a good time with our tour guide Fungai very clued up and helpful. Our highlight was Elephant sands sitting at the camp fire and looking at the elephants drinking water. I will refer everyone to Africa Zim Travel they did match all our expectations and more.

Blessing and Tendaiy run a well organized top notch organization.
The entire 9 day trip from Vic Falls to Maun ran seamlessly. We were a party of 9. We saw and did so many cool things, lots of variety and things to do and see. Blessing is very experienced and a great tour leader. He always has the interests of his clients in mind and works to make everything run smoothly. I would highly recommend Africa Zim to anyone interested in the trips he offers.

Victoria Falls to the Okavango Delta: Great guide, AMAZING honeymoon/trip!
This was the most amazing trip I have ever been on. We enjoyed every minute of it and Mthokozisi (Mucho!) was amazing!! (We went on an 8 day, 7 night, safari to: Victoria Falls, Chobe, Elephant Sands, and the Okavango Delta. The only thing we added to the package was a helicopter flight over the Delta.)
We learned so much and saw so many animals. The only thing we knew when planning our trip was that we wanted to go to the Okavango Delta and we were really struggling to find an affordable trip. One safari company told us we needed to double our budget if we wanted to get there. NOT Africa Zim! Their safari packages were affordable, planned out wonderfully, and flexible depending on what you were looking for and how long you had. We went so many amazing places we wouldn't have known about if not for Blessing and his amazing team. It was truly once in a lifetime.
A review wouldn't be complete without a huge shout out to Mthokozisi!!!! Mucho was an AMAZING guide! My husband really wanted to see zebras and it wasn't looking good for a while there, but while we were driving eagle eye Mucho spotted some and immediately (and safely) pulled over, opened the sunroof and made sure we had a moment to look at them. He really cared about what we were there to see and was so knowledgable and professional. Mucho answered EVERY question we asked, from what was happening with the countries politics to different things about his culture, home and family. He was so wonderful.
Thank you Mthokozisi, Blessing, and Africa Zim as a whole for an AMAZING AMAZING adventure and honeymoon. We will never forget it and would/will recommend Africa Zim to anyone and everyone going to Africa.

Highly recommend Africa Zim for your next Safari!
My wife and I took a 7 day Safari lodge tour booked through Blessing from Africa Zim for our honeymoon. He set us up with a local guide from Zimbabwe, Mthokozisi, who was extremely professional, and really fun to talk to and learn from! We basically had a private tour guide who took us to the most recommended attractions from Victoria Falls through Chobe and into the Okavango. Of course the game rides we're in small groups of 4-8 people but Mthokozisi would be available whenever needed, took us from place to place, helped us figure out how to swap some plans last minute since we really wanted to take be a helicopter tour over the Okavango (so worth it!) and wealth of knowledge.

All aspects of the tour were great from booking to our time under the care of Africa Zim Tours.
Our communication with Africa Zim was first rate right from our initial contact with Sheila and all aspects of the tour were as expected and more. Our tour guide, Blessing, was a most friendly and efficient tour director of our time and always ensured that we were prepared and that we were all at the right place at the right time. He went out of his way to make sure we could incorporate our various requests during our 4 day trip. Our accommodations at Bayete Lodge and Hwange Safari Lodge suited us perfectly and we enjoyed all the aspects of both - both so picturesque with good food and friendly people. Victoria Falls was a wonderful experience despite the rain and the Boma dinner was so much fun. Our game drives at Hwange were amazing and we saw a wide variety of animals and birds. Our game drive guide, who Blessing arranged, was most informative about the animals and birds that we encountered and there was never a rush when we met up with the various wildlife. It was certainly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks you African Zim!

Just wonderful service and an excellent tour
Africa Zim Travel arranged a great tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe and the Okavango in Botswana at the last minute after we had been let down by another operator.
Their service was first rate, the tour was as per the descriptions and their communication with us was excellent. They helped a great deal in processing our payment at very short notice and even confirmed the accommodations before payment was finalized.
They also liaised with another operator so we could seamlessly continue onto Namibia.
It’s a shame I can’t give them more than five stars. I’d be happy to answer any questions if I’m contacted.
A trip packed with exciting animals, beautiful birds, friendly and helpful and efficient people.
Dealings with the firm were most reliable and helpful. The facilities were great. The tour exceeded all expectations. The value was outstanding. We saw over 113 species of birds as well as wonderful Lions, Elephants, Impala, Puku, Water Monitor, Hippo, Crocodile, Buffalo, Giraffe, Jackal, Warthog, Sand Snake, Steenbuck, Mongoose and Red Lechwe. I strongly recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours.

First rate Tour Company & would highly recommend !!
Communications were excellent & prompt before arrival in South Africa & whilst we we there leading up to the tours we knew exactly when the pickup would be - prompt, knowledgable, friendly & efficient.
Boma Dinner was a great & enjoyable experience & in our opinion a "must do" - as was the full day Chobe Tour.
Driver & transport faultless & saw many animals up close though we had already been spoilt with vast numbers of animals in the Mara the week before. Many thanks to the office & to the drivers/guides for excellent service. Will recommend to anyone we know coming your way.
