Amaizing trip and lovely one
We had an amazing trip with the Serengeti Mystery team. The pick-up from Usa River was smooth. We visited Tarangire National Park and saw many animals, including warthogs, elephants, and lions. We also visited the Ngorongoro Crater and ended our trip at Kikuletwa Hot Springs. We really had a wonderful time with the team.

Very safe, comfortable, perfect trip, everything as it should be, highly recommended! 非常安全舒适完美的旅程，推荐
Right Choice for a customized trip for four people. It arranged the best guide in the world - Mr. Opany. The flooding in the early hours of May 1 flooded our Camp. but with the efforts of Opany and RightChoice, helped us to coordinate helicopters and new hotels so that we could continue our trip without any worries. They extended our trip by one day to make up for it without charging anymore. We saw all the animals we were supposed to see, and we saw Kilimanjaro. It was a perfect and memorable trip! Because we chose Right Choice, a responsible travel agency. Because Opany was our guide, he is a gentleman, he is like an aristocrat, he also speaks some Chinese. He is the most handsome and trustworthy person I have ever met! I am writing this in Chinese so that more of Chinese friends can read it. Please choose RightChoice, and designate Opany as your guide, you will have an unforgettable trip to Africa.四人订制行程，选对了这家旅行社!也为我们安排全世界最棒的向导 Opany先生. 5月1日凌晨的洪水淹了我们的Camp.但是在Opany和RightChoice的努力下，帮助协调了直升飞机和新的酒店，能够后顾无忧的继续了我们的旅行。并且延长了一天，补足了我们的行程，并没有加收一分钱！！应该看的动物我们都看到了，乞力马扎罗雪山我们也看到了！这是一次完美的旅程。因为选择了Right Choice, 一家负责的旅行社！因为Opany成为了我们的向导，他绅士，有风度，像一个贵族，还会讲一些中文。是我遇到过的最帅最值得信赖的人！写中文是为了更多的中国朋友可以看到。请一定选择RightChoice，请选择Opany作为你的向导，你将拥有一次永生难忘的非洲之行！

A truly Unparalleled Experience with Exceptional Service
About a week ago. We booked a 3day trip to Murchison Falls National Park together with my family. Our personalized trip, was meticulously tailored to our needs with our itinerary packed with all the activities the park had to offer.
Despite his sickly disposition at the time, Peter, our guide went out of his way to ensure we had a trip of a life time. The food and Lodges were both insightful and warm. He made it on time for every planned activity of our itinerary, and was mindful of my 70-year-old mum ensuring he even carried her a pineapple snack when we went to see the top of the falls. He was quick to suggest solutions at her slightest discomfort to ensure a memorable trip. We couldn’t have asked for any one better.
The sheer force of the water at the top of the falls was magical, an awesome sight to behold and the trip to the bottom of the falls by boat where we saw hippos, crocodiles and all the beautiful birds patched on the little islands can only be described as phenomenon. All in all, nothing beats the graceful walk of the giraffes as they look for their tree top delicacies, or the buffalos waddling in the mud and a herd of elephant with their young spotted in the game drives. A truly unparalleled experience.
Peter was a wonderful guide, professional and was a wealth of knowledge when we had to make an inquisition about this or that. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Big apes Africa for your next trip. You will surely not regret the decision.
A big thank you to Big Apes Africa. May the Good Lord Richly Bless you!

Fantastic Safari! What an amazing experience!
I was initially really worried about transferring such a large amount of money to a non uk travel company (I booked for 4 of us for 4 days/3 nights). I had no reason to worry. I had communication with Safina throughout who reassured me & answered queries very promptly. To fly into the Serengeti on a small plane was a real treat! Our guide Kelvin was brilliant & he found the Big Five! I was so surprised how close we got to the animals and how many we saw! The Tented Lodges, food & staff exceeded our expectations. We were so well looked after throughout. Thank you Serengeti African Tours for a truly memorable trip!

Karina did an amazing job with organising our safari- perfect!
We booked from New Zealand so I was a little hesitant but I can honestly say we never had a hiccup. Loved our itinerary Karina put together for us- lodges and staff were wonderful. Loved flying in the small aircraft’s between lodges- cut down travelling time
Sundowners late afternoon were a great way to end the day. Highly recommend Safari Online

Africa Zim Travel are amazing, and gave us the holiday of a lifetime!
AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.
From start to finish Africa Zim Travel were EXCEPTIONAL.
Pamela walked us through the booking process all over email - tailoring a few things to our needs. We added an additional night to the trip; we had two children (9 and 10) and Pamela secured family rooms at 3 of our 4 hotels; and there was one vegan dietary requirement. None of these were an issue before or during our trip. Pamela suggested switching one of our days (in Hwange) from two AM/PM tours to one full day tour too. We were wary of a 10 hour day with children so had initially opted for the shorter tours, but we are so thankful that she suggested we do a full day. We saw so much more and children loved it.
One thing we hadn't realised, was that we would be assigned a guide who would be with us throughout the trip. We were met at the airport by Stanford - who turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. He has left a mark on our family and we all miss him!!
Stanford was responsible for all our transfers and joined us on some of our tours too. We learnt to realise that his presence on the tours ensured a far better experience and we are very grateful for that. He taught us so, so much throughout the trip - not just about the animals, but the culture and life in Zimbabwe and Botswana. He went above and beyond for us during the trip arranging a few extras too.
The lodges all exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious. The tours were all fruitful with plenty of sightings and some fantastic Rangers. Everywhere we went felt safe and friendly. The border crossing was smooth. All the pre-trip info covered what we needed.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Africa Zim Travel.
The package of Hwange and Chobe was a nice combo. They were different and I'm glad we experienced them both. The itinerary was full, and we slept well each night! We actually added an additional day at the end to enjoy Vic Falls and recover and we're glad we did that. It felt like a lovely end to an active holiday and created a nice balance.
There were no "hidden extras" from memory. It was clear from the start of our communications what was and wasn't included in the price and in the trip. The "Tour of Vic Falls" seems to come up in reviews that I've seen. For clarity, it probably isn't a "tour" in the same sense as the game drives are. You get dropped off and pay the entrance fee ($50 adult, $25 kids) to the gated viewing area. We spent a little over 2 hours there following the trail along 16 viewing points. You could probably spend less or more time there depending on your preferences. For us, it was lovely to be able to spend some time walking after spending the previous days on the safari trucks and boats! But it isn't a tour with a guide. I believe they (the park) did provide tours though, possibly for an additional $25?
Overall, I think they offered great value. We had never been to this part of the world before and never been on a safari holiday and there is no way we could have organised this ourselves to this level. The itinerary was perfect.
As for the animals… wow… we saw most of what we wanted. Unfortunately no leopards, but we did see a cheetah with her cubs! We also saw her hunt and catch! The combination of two national parks as well as the combo of drives and cruises offers plenty of opportunity (in my opinion) even in such a small space of time. Hippos, crocs, buffalos, jackals, lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, many antelope species, snakes, lizards, many birds, monkeys, baboons… Fantastic, and very very close.
We went in the final week of May. No rain. Generally sunny every day, occasionally overcast in Hwange. It gets dark about 6pm; it's chilly in the morning and evenings. No issues with mosquitos - but we did use repellent twice a day. The Falls were wet and flowing!
Thank you Africa Zim Travel!

Beyond all expectations
Our 5 day/4 night safari was beyond expectation. From the pre booking right through to our last farewell, we were treated to the most
unforgettable experience. We had travelled from the US and Mexico and flew into JNB where we were greeted by our driver to wisked us off to
the Hazyview. There, we met our guide Simon; an incredible human being, with a heart of gold and a passion for nature. We were truly blessed to spend our five days with him.
Our safari was non stop adventure, sighting the big 5 plus more & more. Simon´s knowledge of the park, the wildlife and taking particular time to ensure we got to see our favourite animals was exceptional. Doug, our resident chef was also an amazing hand in the kitchen, laying on beautifully prepared breakfasts and dinners, al fresco with tablecloth and all. We just didn´t expect these inmemorable touches.
The Safari vehicle was pristine and comfortable, accomodation was superb in the 2 lodges Skuzuza, then Sakura.
We were also treated to Letters & Edward's morning bush walk- quite something. A sublime experience. If you want to safari, just book it with Wild Wings. Clare and the team attentive , responsive and very accesible.

The trip was perfect from start to finish. Damian our guide and Samsun (kashada) the cook were both amazing. They were both super nice and very professional. Damian was an excellent driver and animal spotter. We managed to witness some rare moments. All over the trip the food was amazing. To resume it was beyond our expectations

The tour operator is reliable, attentive to clients, provides quality services.
The Victoria Falls Rainforest guided tour is an unforgettable experience! A qualified professional guide takes you around the different viewpoints. You enjoy the fantastic world of wild nature and learn a lot about the waterfall and the history of the place. To feel better, wear comfortable clothes and shoes and take sunscreen if you need. Drinking water and umbrellas were given to us by the tour operator. The tour is really worth the money you pay.
Special thanks to our guide Kudakwashe Ziwoni!
