Comfortable drive back to Johannesburg
The driver drove safely and got us to our destination right on time. He also scheduled appropriate breaks approximately every two hours, which made the journey comfortable and stress-free. I really appreciated his safe driving and thoughtful planning.

Peter was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and fun.
The Safari park was amazing such great scenery. Our guide Peter was immensely knowledgeable and really kind and friendly. It was most certainly good value for money. I think I came when it was a little too hot so was difficult to spot the Lions,Leopards, and Rhinos but otherwise I cannot complain. Food was amazing view a fantastic view and most importantly an ice cold beer or 2.

Very thoughtful and knowledgeable tour operator and guides
We completed a 8 day tour starting in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and ended in the Okavango Delta (Maun, Botswana). Communication with Manuel building the itinerary and gathering all the necessary information was seamless. Manuel was quick to respond and always gave thorough instructions to make the preparation as easy as possible. Arriving in Victoria Falls, we were kindly greeted and picked up by our tour guide, Likhwa (Lee). One of our checked bags did not arrive with us in Victoria Falls, but Lee and the Exec Tours team were very helpful in making sure it was sent from Johannesburg, retrieved from Victoria Falls, and brought to us in Botswana when it arrived.
The entire tour from Victoria Falls to Maun was amazing. We went on a very relaxing dinner cruise along the Zambezi River where we saw elephants and hippos. We got a great view of Victoria Falls from all along the Zimbabwe side. We went on two game drives and a river cruise in Chobe where we got really close to many animals. We saw many animals in Chobe National Park including lions, elephants, giraffes, honey badgers, and zebras just to name a few. Lee and all of our tour guides always had facts about each animal and would come back with answers if they didn’t know while on the game drive. We stayed at Elephant Sands Lodge where the elephants would come to drink at the watering hole right in the middle of the lodge. Elephants were there all night and was fun to look out at them playing and drinking in the water. Next in Gweta, we went on a Meerkat viewing tour where we got really close to the Meerkats. The guide on the tour was super familiar with the Meerkats that we were able to lay down near their burrow and they would climb up on our legs for a view of the surrounding area. Heading to Maun, we wanted to change our last few days to get another game drive in Moremi Game Reserve. Lee was very helpful in accommodating our change and was able to do it in a few hours. We ended up seeing two male lions right after they finished eating their buffalo lunch. On our last day, we finished the trip with a peaceful ride on a Mokoro. We were able to see elephants, zebras, wildebeests, and hippos (from a safe distance).
All of the lodges we stayed in were very clean, had friendly, accommodating staff, and had great food for breakfast, packed lunches and dinner. Lee was very interactive with us throughout the whole tour, answering our hundreds of questions about animals, culture, and history. If you get Lee as your guide, you will be in great hands.
This private tour was very reasonable for the price especially compared to other tour companies that will charge similarly for a group trip. We were able to make it our own and leave early or stay late if we wanted better access to the animals. I’d highly recommend booking with Exec Africa Tours.
