The beauty of Chobe National Park was revealed thanks to the perfectly organized day trip.
I must day that the day was very well organized. We were picked from our hotel at 7 am in the morning and after a short drive to pick up a couple of other travellers we were on the way to Botswana. Even on the way to the border we saw Elephants, Warthogs, and African Wild Dogs.
After a 50 minute drive we reached the border where our guide helped us to quickly get out of Zimbabwe and enter Botswana. It did not take more than 10 minutes.
On the Botswana our local guide for the day was waiting for us. We boarded the 4x4 vehicle and went to the Chobe National Park. On the way under a nice shade we had a cup of tea/coffee and some delicious cake.
The drive in the park was wonderful. We saw many animals, including Hippos, Elephants, Giraffes, Antelope, and as many birds as you could imagine. We encountered a very large herd of Elephants that crossed the road just in front of our car.
At noon our guide took us for lunch to a Chobe Safari Lodge. The food was delicious and although there were many people there the service was very fast. You should try their wonderful sorbet.
After lunch from the dock of the lodge we went with a boat on the Chobe river. In the morning we thought that from the car we were close to the animals, but from the boat we had even closer encounters opportunities.
At 5 pm we were taken to the border, where our guide from the morning was waiting to bring us back to the hotel.
We had a wonderful day and we were able to enjoy the beautiful Chobe National Part thanks to the excellently organized trip.

Great Victoria Falls, Chobe and Okavango Delta tour package
My husband and I went on a 8 day tour with a guide from Africa Zim and everything was absolutely flawless. Our guide, Muto, was courteous, yet funny and always on time to pick us up and take us to different activities put together by Africa Zim. Initially I had my reservations as their website wasn't easily accesible and I felt that generally there was a lack of communication. But they were able to address my concerns via email and the itinerary they put together worked out really well. If I could make any suggestions, it would be a good idea to send a follow up email to customers a month before their arrival just to reconfirm the final payment and airport transfer. One other thing I suggested to Muto was to add an extra night in Elephant Sands as that was one of the highlights of our trip. All in all, I would definitely recommend Africa Zim to our friends and family!

9 day, 8 night Vic falls - Okavango Delta
Having never been on a safari before, I had plenty of questions before even booking the trip and Pamela was always quick to answer any questions I had, I was very impressed with the level of communication before even beginning the tour. As we were on a budget, we choose the camping option, the tents all felt safe in the various lodges we stayed in, they were all raised, spacious, and almost all had electricity/ fans in them (with the exception of the 1 night spent camping in the Okavango Delta Bush). Moto was a great guide, he had lots of knowledge regarding local animals, plants, cultures, etc and was great at spotting different animals as we drove from place to place, we really enjoyed our time with him. The only issue we encountered was the first place we stayed in Vic Falls one dinner and one breakfast that were supposed to have been covered we ended up having to pay for, but it was quickly resolved and we were reimbursed so overall it was not a big deal. The highlights of the trip was definitely Elephant Sands, sitting at the fire at night watching the elephants drinking water so close to us. Chobe National Park was also another of my highlights. I was worried about the camping aspect of it before I left, but it was all a very comfortable experience and I would recommend Africa Zim and this tour.

Amazing experience and absolutely well organized!!!
everything from the beginning to end was absolutely well organized and we had an amazing time in Simbabwe and Botsuana.
Moto, our guide, was such a nice person, who was very friendly, jolly and we had lots of fresh conversations during our one week trip!He explained a lot about the people, country, traditions and of course the animals. He was pretty good in spotting animals while driving. All our accomodations, especially Safari Bush Lodge at Chobe National Park, were really good. Elephant Sand was also a memorable experience....
All in all - our expectations were completly fulfilled and it was an amazing time!!!Thank you so much....

8-day Victoria Falls to the Okavango Delta: Great guide, wonderful experience!
A BIG THANK YOU to Blessing, Mthokozisi and Pamela! We took a 8-day Safari tour and it was a memorable experience for us. Blessing and Pamela responded very promptly to all our email and queries and everything during the trip was well-organised and planned efficiently. It was a good itinerary and met our expectations. Mthokozisi was our guide and he looked after us extremely well. He was warm, friendly and we had lots of good conversations during the entire tour. He even went the extra step and taught us about the culture, customs, traditions, local knowledge and history of the countries and looked out for animals while driving. I strongly recommend this tour operator for those who are keen on any of their packages. Well done, Africa Zim Travel and Mthokozisi!!

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.
