5/5

Mr. Schreiner is an excellent organizer, very knowledgable about Zambia and Malawi, he made sure all went smoothly and that we are well taken care of. I highly recommend his services and his company. Everything was superb!

Wonderful safari tour!
5/5

Daniel is very responsive and helpful. He accommodated many of our requests, much appreciated. And Croc Valley camp was very beyond our expectation. We stayed in the luxury tents. The attached bathroom was huge! The tents were right by the river, where we could spot hippos.
We had private game drives with James. Saw lions and leopard on our first drive!
Overall, it was a wonderful tour with Zamsato!

A varied and interessting journey with many encounters with animals and people
5/5

In search of a different adventure in Africa , we came across the "Expedition Shoebill ". The description caught our interest and because we knew the organizer and guide Daniel Schreiner already from previous trips here, we took the opportunity to visit some of the not so well-known national parks and attractions in Zambia and Tanzania with him.

The route proved to be a very interesting and varied. We experienced small and large towns, vast plains, endless Miomboforests and high mountains, did nice walks, saw geological features and visited colorful markets. On extensive game drives we saw countless animals.

All the visited the lodges were comfortable, clean and quiet. The camps were mostly at very nice location, clean and with one exception also very quiet. The equipment of the camps varied from comfortable to very simple, and the nights we spent in the middle of Ruaha National Park completely alone in a very simple camp, are among our best memories.

Our tent was well maintained, clean and big enough , and - more important - very easy to set up and to take down. We did not feel anything through the thick comfortable foam mattresses which gave us a good night sleep.

The food was tasty and varied. We got to know unfamiliar vegetables and cooking styles and marveled again and again about Daniel how he managed to cook our dinner on a tiny charcoal stove in 3 pots.
The kitchen was like the rest of the equipment very well thought through and it really lacked nothing .

The vehicle was comfortable and reliable. We experienced our first trip to Africa without any car breakdown, which is certainly also due to Daniel's prudent driving. We were missing some shelves or bags to store things such as cameras, binoculars, guide books, glasses, etc. , especially during the game drives to store them handy but safe.

The trip was very well thought out and organized. Despite some very bad roads and long travel times we reached all stages within the targeted time period. The experience of the always very time consuming border crossing in Africa went smoothly thanks to Daniel's organization.

Our guide brought us closer to country and people with his tales and stories. He never got tired to look for interessting animals on our long game drives and fascinated us with his good eyes and his broad knowledge of the fauna, especially the birds and their calls.
Daniel patiently answered all questions and made, if nessecary, adjustments to the daily routine.

Overall, it was an exhausting but beautiful and interesting journey with a good price - performance ratio.
Thank you, Daniel ! We hope that we will do another safari together soon.

Kayak Safari , was really an great adventure. It was well organized !
4/5

We have had a really great experience, except for one thing.
In short : we had a transfer form Lusaka to Kimabi Safari lodge. Nice driver was on time and very friendly.
The resort was perfect , nice people and great food ( really great )
Afternoon , sunset cruise.
Following morning , Yeep safari, well organized , with breakfast and lunch. And ofcourse the wild live !
Next day 2 days of kayak safari, what an adventure !!
This was unbelievable. Sleeping in a tent in the middle of the wild live, with good food !
Until here it was really really great :-) :-)



The last day Zamsato organized for us a transfer to Livingstone, departure at 8.00 hours. The transfer was delayed ( can happen ) But the tranfser came at 11.30 hours. We had a transfer in total of 8 hours. The driver did not apologize for the late arrival. He said nothing for the first 4 hours of the drive. This was really not ok :-(
As we would arrive very late, we asked if he could drive to the border, as we had a hotel booked in Vic Falls. He was not happy with that, but he started to hurry up, so he drove very fast ( not very safe ). At the end we arrived there around 20.00 hours in the dark at the border.
This day was not a great experience ......

Well planned itinerary, easy and efficient booking procedure
4/5

Liuwa Plains had been on my bucket list for about 12 years and now I know why.... Wonderful experience camping in the middle of nowhere with a knowlegable guide/driver and a competent chef. Mother nature never fails to deliver if you only keep your eyes open, so we saw lots of lovely birds and other animals and were able to take our time, never in a rush. The tents were very nice, campsites had everything you need and thanks to the drivers skills we always got through the deep sand. Kafue was also a very positiv experience with all those different buck and how the driver got out of the mud after it had rained is hard to believe. So there was a bit of adventure thrown in here and there, never a dull moment and lots of laughs with the team. No regrets, I am very thankful to have been on the trip!!

Two weeks in Zambia
4/5

Daniel can spot a brown-hooded kingfisher from a mile away and then describe its exact location so you can see it, too. In addition to his encyclopedic knowledge about Zambia’s biodiversity, he is well-versed in the politics surrounding and research and conservation efforts happening in the national parks. Whether he is explaining how wildebeests host fly larvae in their brains or buying you monkey oranges from a family on the side of the road or looking up the latest news on a court case regarding illegal deforestation in Kasanka National Park, Daniel’s love for wildlife and his adopted country comes through.

Logistics were excellent – Daniel replied to emails promptly before the trip, made great recommendations for a customized safari, kept me well fed per my vegetarian diet, and responded to some unexpected vehicle troubles like a pro.

Zamsato organized a tour for us in Botswa with an cooperating company, we had a great time in Chobe
4/5

Communication before the tour and the booking was very easy. Just no Visa or PayPal payment possible.
Pick- Up was a little bit unorganized but everything worked out well.
Our safari in Chobe NP was just awesome. Really nice boat and game drive safaris with all the animals you can expect. A lovely camp in the middle of the bush with a really nice team. Thanks a lot for this great experience.
