Professional, knowledgable, dependable. Aims for the traveller to have a truly valuable experience.
I was not there for a safari, however Africa Zim was VERY helpful in guiding me on my travel throughout the country, particularly in spending time to answer questions and give advice and in arranging accommodations and ground transportation in and between several towns that I visited. They more than met my expectations. I will be referring others and will use this company again myself.

Good experience
Blessing Mumbure, my contact for Africa Zim Travel is a very good guy. We agreed my itinerary by mail and I can say that everything was done in the right way. No problem for the accomodations, no problem for the transfer from/to the airport or to the several places visited (Hwange National Park, Chobe National Park...). He can suggest the best that North Zimbabwe can offer and he's always available for your needs.

Vic falls April 2014
Overall, great thank you for helping to plan and arrange for activities and accommodation in Vic Falls.
All the requests were addressed promptly during booking.
What was even better, that despite couple of last minute changes we got booked into everything we wanted to experience in Zimbabwe :)

Toured for 8 days to Chobe, Okavango and Victoria Falls with Blessing Munbare as our guide
Communications to establish the tour dates and payment was slower than I had hoped but we hammered the details out to our satisfaction. The tour was as advertised and often exceeded expectations. Chobe Safari Lodge was totally wonderful as were the boat experience and the driving safari. Okavango Delta was s bit disappointing because there was not much wildlife ( wrong time of the season) but the Sedia Hotel gave a sense of Africa that was not totally touristy. Victoria Falls was spectacular as was the Victoria Falls Hotel. Having Blessing Mumbare as our guide and friend for the 8 days was indeed a highlight of of trip. His care for us (myself, wife and daughter) will be remembered fondly. We thank him for his efforts and hospitality. You will be hard-pressed to find anything comparable for the experience and price. Thank-you Blessing - Bob

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
