Experience Chobe: An immersive experience at all hours of the day with an expert guide.
5/5

This was truly an immersive experience! Our guide led us on 6 tours (four game drives and two boat tours). He was an expert in the animals of the park and provided deep insights as we experienced the interactions of the animals. We got up close to so many animals. Camping provided a different perspective as lions, leopards, and elephants all passed in close proximity during the night. It also enabled us to experience the park in the early hours of the day when animals are not sleeping. The camping was rustic, and the food was excellent (cooked over a fire). We also head the sounds of the park (roars of lions, toots of elephants, ...). Our family of five (including one 6-year-old) will have lifelong fond memories.

Very easy to deal with, they put together a package for us that fulfilled our wishes.
5/5

Our safari was eleven days and each of these days were different and exciting experiences. Our tour guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and made our time in Africa very special. He was very organised ensuring we were at the right place at the right times. He took care of luggage, meal reservations, and thankfully passing through boarder controls was seamless and stressless for us all.
Our safari guides were experienced, friendly and knowledgeable.
I would highly recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours for you safari experience.

Great value Vic Falls & Botswana tour
5/5

We had a great experience with Africa Zim tours. Andy our guide was great. He was informative, energetic and great to talk to. Our highlights of this trip were camping in Chobe national park & Okavango Delta. While budget camping may not be everyones cup of tea, it was a surreal experience camping in the middle of the park knowing your are surrounded by African wild life - sometimes only a very short distance away! But we felt completely safe and it also meant we were able to get the most of our safari drives.

Great experience
5/5

All in all we had a great time. A friend organised all the componants and booking so I can't comment on that side of things, can only comment on the experience itself.
Our tour guide, Cosmos, was simply fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for him and he went above and beyond, many times during the trip. We had a couple of small hiccups along the way, but all were rectified calmly and quickly - and really it just added to the experience. Very happy.

An amazing experience
5/5


What an amazing experience, we had the time of our lives

We we're picked up in Victoria Falls by Andy, our lovely and knowledgeable driver/guide who taught us so much about this part of Africa and it's culture.

We drove to Kasane and Chobe where we had two morning drives, an afternoon drive and a river cruise. There were elephants, giraffs, impalas, kudus, hippos and buffalos galore. There were a number of colourful birds and we got to see lions with cubs, lions playing with prey (a baboon) and even a leopard.

The next stop was Elephant Sands were you can sit by the fire and watch the elphants up close. This was an amazi g experience although the smell could be quite interresting. And by the way, in winter, bring warm clothes. At night the temperature went down to about 5 degrees celsius and there is no heating in the tents.

The last part of the trip was in Maun and the Okavango delta. On the way there, there were a lot of animals along the road, impalas and elephants and a large herd of zebras. When we got to Maun we had a land back afternoon and evening before going on a mokoro (canoo) trip in the delta combined with a walking safari. This was such a peaceful and different way of seeing the animals. The walking safari was maybe the only letdown on the whole trip. We did not see many animals except some zebras and wilderbeest from a distanse, but the mokoro trip made up for it.

The accomodation on the trip was also very nice and the staff at the lodges were great.

Thanks to Andy for making this trip such a wonderful experience and to Pamela for organizing everything. Thank you so much.

Zim provided a trip that was varied and interesting with a wonderful guide and great accommodation
5/5

This trip was the best holiday we have ever had. Botswana and Zimbabwe were beautiful countries with amazing wild landscapes. The variety of animals and birds we saw was beyond our expectations from so many elephants to the delightful meerkat. We enjoyed meeting villagers and gaining an understanding of their very simple lives. People here are so happy and friendly. We never felt unsafe. Camping on the salt pans was quite an adventure as was the family of elephants who blocked our track and were a little scary. Awesome to see lions however the leopards remained elusive to us. Zim Travel have been brilliant to deal with and everything went like clockwork. Thank you to Pamela who organised the trip and to Stanford our amazing guide.

friendly organizer, everything well organized
4/5

Our guide was very friendly and helpful. On our tour I thought it was a shame that we had to pay the entrance fee to the Vic Falls because the tour already had a high price (but this was described in the document) The safari was very nice. we were able to take enough time to observe the animals. Overall, the tour was incredibly beautiful.

4/5

It was a beautiful Time.
I liked the Victoria Falls alot.
I had already been on a safari before where I saw more animals.
That's why I would leave this out next time.
The service and the food were always nice and delicious.
I think the price is too expensive for the whole tour, especially since not everything is paid for. (Entry for the V.Falls)
