Two nigh Chobe Camping Trip from Victoria Falls with Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours
I booked this trip through Viator and it was one of the few that allowed for single travelers. Very reasonable price. I contacted Oscar before arriving because the hotel pick up had changed and there was prompt communication and no problem. Oscar picked me up on time and was well known to the hotel staff who greeted him cordially and respectfully. Oscar's driver took me to the border of Botswana and Zimbabwe about 45 minutes by private car. The driver introduced me to his colleague on the Botswana side who would take over from there. The border crossing was straight forward and relatively quick. We had to go to three separate buildings but there were people to guide you to the right paths. The guide was waiting for me on the other side of the customs building. We waited for a few minutes for others to arrive and were driven to the river cruise dock where we boarded a small boat for a two hour river safari on the Chobe River. After the river safari, we stopped at a luxury resort on the river for a buffet lunch that was included. I was dropped off at my accommodations which as a resort just outside Chobe National Park and included resort hotel rooms, tents and camping grounds. I stayed in a tent on my own with shared washroom facilities which were clean and functional. That afternoon, I was picked up for an afternoon game drive, which was amazing. Dinner was at the resort and was included. The next day I did a morning safari drive and an afternoon river safari. Both were great. In between the safaris, I spent time by the pool relaxing and cooling off. The next morning I left for the border and back to Victoria Falls arriving before lunch with plenty of time to organize the rest of my day. Very satisfied with Oscar and his team. Reasonable price and available for solo travelers.

Mufasa did an excellent job and we have ahd a great safari
We booked a 7-day safari with Mufasa, which included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli Park, and Diani Beach. We had an excellent experience with the Mufasa staff, starting with Caroline, who was always kind and responsive when booking and organizing the tour. Leroy, our main driver during the safari, was excellent and very patient, taking the time to look for the animals in the parks and providing detailed explanations of all aspects of the safari. He was also a great companion when traveling between different destinations. Erik and Paul, our drivers during the transfers to Diani, were also very pleasant and punctual. Overall, the tour was very professionally organized by Mufasa. Thank you very much to Leroy, Caroline, and the whole Mufasa team.

An unforgettable memory
If you are planning to visit Kruger, do not hesitate and choose this agency. Norman was always attentive to make sure that we had an unforgettable and personalize experience and he was also very open to listen our point of view of points of improvement to be the best.
A part form the wild animals that you can see in Kruger National Park, don’t forget to visit Blyde River Canyon. It’s absolutely incredible!
If we have the pleasure to come back to this beautiful country, we will repeat the experience for sure.

Great service - helpful, organised & professional
From the first contact onwards Desert Air Safaris provided quick & detailed responses which convinced us of their professionalism. Our pilot Xander was extremely helpful and keen to pass on interesting information. We would definitely use Desert Air Safaris again and would highly recommend them to friends.

Kind and responsive to our request
For all of us was the first safari ever and we're more than excited now. Taufique was a wonderful and very kind guide! He showed us the wonders of Akagera Park, stopping each time we asked him in the perfect spots to look at the animals!
The experience was amazing even though it rained at certain times, in fact, thanks to the opening jeep roof we spotted lots of animals: giraffes, elephants, antelopes, baboons, hippos, and thanks to the funny and immersive boat trip option even a crocodile in the lake!
We had just some troubles with the pickup time, cause the jeep broke a few minutes before and the guide was a little bit late, but we forgot immediately this little problem thanks to the amazing and unique experience that Taufique gave us live!

Very Knowledgeable
Had a great time on our 5 day safari. Our guide John was very knowledgeable on all the plants and animals in the area. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend adding a hat air balloon ride over the Serengeti.

Wildly exceeded expectations!
All Over Africa Safaris, based in Nairobi, Kenya, is an extremely knowledgeable, efficient, warm, and hands-on agency. Owner Rose Agunga booked our travel; she greeted us upon our arrival in Kenya; was available to us by phone throughout our stay; and kept in daily contact with our driver during the entire expedition. Up front, Rose consulted with us (in New York, seven time zones away) by email and phone at great length to determine what sort of safari we wanted, what kind of lodgings we desired, and how to make that fit within the budget (time, money) we had available. We had very specific medical dietary requirements and she selected places where she could personally contact the chefs to assure that the food would be prepared as we needed. Once we arrived at each destination, our driver followed up to verify that food preparations would be followed properly and safely. There were no glitches during our trip, but Rose made it clear that she had back-up plans in case any trouble did arise, and this made our travels feel very secure. That said, Rose is not just a logistical wizard; she is also lot of fun and clearly goes to great length to hire staff who are also very competent and fun to be around. The driver assigned us was especially knowledgeable about the animals, birds, and geography. He not only took care of us, but managed to pull another safari vehicle out of a muddy riverbed that he himself expertly navigated around.
Rose hosted us for a terrific farewell dinner in Nairobi as part of our debriefing. We highly recommend this agency to anyone who might be considering a trip to this part of the world

An unforgettable experience
I have just completed an exceptional climb that will remain engraved in my mind for a very long time.
I can only recommend this magnificent sporting and emotional experience without forgetting the human richness.
All this was possible thanks to the team who supported me with commitment, concerned about my well-being and always available.
Before leaving, I was convinced that Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventure was a trustworthy company and I was not wrong or even exceeded my expectations.
Mr Avarist is just incredible, he answered all my questions, doubts with unbeatable responsiveness and organized my trip with a fantastic team. (Gasper the guide, Mayoo stomach engineer, David waiter and future guide, Marry, Wilson, Chazzy and Ramadham , they are the heroes).
I want to come back in 2 years with my wife and two children and will contact Kilimanjaro Heroes Adventure again.
