A wonderful guide for a worry free, once in a lifetime adventure.
It's hard to put such an amazing trip into one review. I took a nine day trip with Blessing from Africa Zim. We started in Victoria Falls, went to Kasane, Elephant Sands near Nata, and ended in Maun. To get to each location Blessing drove us safely there, stopping to look at anything I wanted to see. Upon arrival at each destination there it was a relief that he had done all the booking and I didn't have to worry. There was always a comfy bed to sleep in and a preplanned activity like a game drive, river cruise, canoe trip, etc. All I had to do was show up when it was time to start. As a young woman traveling alone, having Blessing was essential. He knew the areas and many people we met. He stayed close and was helpful, but I felt complete freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted. I never felt suffocated but always safe. When I wanted to do something off schedule, like go to tribal beauty pageant or look for the perfect souvenir in town, he was always accommodating, positive, and facilitated it. I could have done without the talk of religion and youtube prophets, but I guess it isn't too surprising in a country that still has blasphemy laws. I especially loved that Blessing was aware of my budget and suggested amazing activities that I would love. When someone would recommend an excursion completely out of my price range he was quick to kindly let me know before I got my heart set. I could see how a millionaire or budget traveler could get the most out of their trip with Africa Zim behind it.

Everything worked like clockwork. Staff very friendly and extremely helpful.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Zim Travel. We were looked after very well and felt like we were with friends.
Apart from getting drenched at the Falls, which was our own fault for not taking advice, we enjoyed the trip and found Zim Travel very accommodating and lived up to expectations. Thanks again for making our holiday enjoyable.

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to Maun, Botswana (8 days)
Blessing delivered a complete service from the booking process (including answering many of my questions and honoring many itinerary/date change requests in a prompt manner) to guiding us for the entire trip.
The trip included highlights such as a transfer from Across the border in Livingstone, entry to Victoria Falls and a sunset cruise, African dinner at The Boma, Chobe National Park including games drives & boat safari, and a wilderness camp in the Okavango Delta.
Accommodation and meals were of a high standard, and the transport, driven by Blessing, was very comfortable and safe.
We felt privileged to be able to spend time with Blessing. He made our experience the trip of a lifetime. We would highly recommend Blessing and Africa Zim Tours to anyone.

Dinner cruise, Chobe day trip and Elephant ride / Night Game Drive
We had a wonderful 3 days of activities in Vic Falls! Blessing was an excellent source of information, from ATM questions to dinner recommendations. The sunset dinner cruise was an excellent way to relax after a long day of travel, an intimate dinner versus being part of a larger group. The day trip to Chobe was also an excellent choice. Bring a backup battery or extra camera because you will take lots of pictures. We saw tons of wildlife on this trip. The elephant ride was fun but shorter than I expected. The night game drive proved to be least number animal sightings, but all was forgiven when we saw the new baby rhino! The campfire dinner was also well done. On both the Chobe day trip and the night game drive, drinks and snacks were provided so you only had to bring any personal items you needed.

Fantastic time in Zimbabwe thanks to Africa Zim Travel & Tours!
From our arrival at the Vic Falls airport until taken back to the airport, we were taken care of very well by Africa Zim. Very hard to pick a favorite event, but we thoroughly enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise with just the four traveling in our group. Perfect evening. The safari tours were excellent as well. The Chobe National Park river safari was incredible. We saw so many animals and I came home with hundreds of pictures! The guides are very knowledgeable and informative to the group. Definitely recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours to anyone.

Flexible and nimble staff
We requested Africa-Zim to organize a tour for us to Vic Falls and a visit to Chobe park in Botswana. We gave them 3 days to complete arrangements, and we began the trip at the end of the 3rd day. It was a moderately priced trip and we got excellent value for money. We had an afternoon to see Vic Falls then went onto Chobe park where we had 1 night at Water Lily lodge (4 star) in Kasane, 2 nights camping in a tent in Chobe, with the elephants and lions nearby, and 2 nights back in Kasane at Toro lodge (3 star). Our connections throughout were all done well and the people at each place knew Blessing quite well. I give this team 5 stars for their resourcefulness and good services.

8 days from Maun to Vic Falls
We booked a tour of 8 days, from Maun to Vic Falls. Blessing was very friendly, more a driver and organizer than a true tourist guide. He arranged all excursions, obviously with a profit percentage for him, but it's his job. He can arrange your suitable tour but you must have to tell him what is your program.
I can suggest to contact him if you have a clear idea about your trip.
AMAZING TOUR
We had amazing experience with Africa Zim Travel & Tours. a warm welcome and some extra personal services and yes, my husband and I enjoyed every bit of everything. Thank u Blessing and your team. keep up the standards. we will definitely come again.

Family safari in zimbabwe and botswana
We booked a safari with Blessing who was also our driver. He answered all questions promptly before the trip and met us at the airport. He guided us through formalities and drove us to Hwange and Chobe. It was stress-free and we had a fantastic time. Our children are young (7 to 11) but Blessing ensured that we had nothing to worry about. I recommend Africa Zim Travel& Tours and Blessing and would love to book another safari with them. Xavier

The 8-day trip was relaxing, well-organized, and of great value
The communications in planning this trip were very good, the service was excellent, and the trip generally lived up to our expectations--even though when we booked it we did not exactly know what to expect. The first thing to understand is that this the 8-day safari is not a constant trip in the bush. Our director from Africa-Zim, Blessing, is wonderful--very organized and professional, as well as informative. Moreover, it was only our family on this tour--me, my husband, and our adult daughter, and we really appreciated the flexibility this trip offered. The first day we traveled from Livingstone to the Chobe Safari Hotel. The hotel was luxurious and the service was great, as was the boat tour on the Chobe river that we took the afternoon we arrived. The guide on the boat was superb in his ability to spot and talk about wildlife. The next day, we went to the Chobe game reserve, and once again, the sights were spectacular, and the expert guide made the 3-4 hour outing quite wonderful. The following day we drove about 7 hours to Maun and the Sedia Hotel. The hotel is not the best; the outing to the Okavanga Delta was very interesting, but we saw little wild life, in part because of the season. Nothing was scheduled for the next day in Maun, so my husband and I paid extra for a trip to the Moremi Game Reserve. It was a long drive, but once again, the guide was absolutely wonderful and it was well worth the added expense. The following day we spent in the Africa-Zim air-conditioned, comfortable van driving back to Victoria Falls. The Rainbow hotel was lovely, with a view of Victoria Falls and all the amenities one would want. We had a great time touring Victorian Falls the following day. Blessing then took us to the exquisite, historical Victoria Falls Hotel for a wonderful lunch, and then a celebratory dinner of authentic Africa cuisine at the Bhoma Hotel (with music, drums, singing, and dancing) our last night. It had been my husband's birthday the day before, and Blessing went out of his way to have the restaurant present him with a birthday cake. We had a wonderful trip. The only slight downside were the long drives between Chobe, the Okavanga Delta and back to Vic Falls, but the scenery was interesting, the air conditioned van very comfortable, and we really enjoyed talking to Blessing and learned a huge amount from our conversations with him. We had a wonderful trip for a very reasonable price and I strongly recommend Africa-Zim. Thank you so very much, Blessing.
