Customized tour, offering maximum flexibility to adjust to daily needs
Customized tour, offering maximum flexibility to adjust to daily needs
Easy breezy from booking & arrival through to departure. We had a fantastic experience that was customized to fit our interests & changing needs. We booked a camping safari that took us from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, & Okavango Delta in Botswana. Our camp sites were comfy, with great food, nice accommodations, & near wildlife. Blessing was our guide & ensured that we had the best park guides who were most knowledgeable of local wildlife. Blessing introduced us to the peoples & cultures & we had many long conversations that gave us unique insights. He even introduced us to a rural family where he stopped to offer food & supplies. Some of the group wanted to upgrade to hotels & he accommodated them though at several sites. I highly recommend Africa Zim!

3 day Chobe safari
We had a great time in Chobe. Simon was a wonderful guide, very knowledgable, friendly and great at tracking the animals. The rest of the team were great as well, with wonderful food and accommodation, we were very well looked after.

Chobe river cruise/game drive.
My wife and I did the one day Chobe river cruise/ game drive. It was most enjoyable! Our driver, Blessings, picked us up from our hotel promptly from our hotel in Victoria Falls, and we saw African wildlife on our drive to Botswana. Culture, our boat captain, did an outstanding job in pointing out wildlife and gave us a lot of information about the game. The lunch buffet was delicious and was served at the Chobe Lodge. Captain, our driver on the game drive, gave us the opportunity to observe and learn about the elephants and hippos in their natural habitat. We would recommend this tours to others.

Great safari
They arranged a great safari for us in Chobe National park with Cape Fig safaris. All our pick ups, drops off and border crossings were very smooth with Africa zim and our safari was really great.

Great Trip
Africa Zim handled our trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana very professionally. They were very prompt in responding to our queries about the safari. The payment process and transportation were well managed. They also made arrangements for vegetarian meals for us. Overall, a great experience.

Experience of a lifetime: Tented Safari
Our group (15 people) consisted of 3 families. Their reviews (Terry, Darrel and Willem) also appear on this site. I organised the trip and was very impressed with the prompt and friendly response I received throughout the booking process. Blessing and Sheila were very easy to deal with and provided me with all the details and requests we required.
Blessing was our guide. We were so happy to have him and Innocent(our driver) with us throughout our trip. They are knowledgeable, friendly and just great people to hang out with.
This was a budget tented safari. Anyone expecting luxury hotel beds and air conditioned rooms should not do this type of safari! We stayed over in tents at rest camps. The tents, beds and bedding were clean and comfortable. The washrooms were typical of campsites. They were clean and if something was amiss, the rest camp staff were quick to help. Our boys (16, 18, 22) loved every bit of this trip as much as we did. We saw Africa in all it's splendour on the 2 river cruises and the game drives. Chobe, Elephant Sands and the Okavango Delta mokoro outing were absolute highlights! Anyone that wanted to upgrade to a cabin were accommodated without a problem. I can honestly say that this was a fantastic and very well organised trip. I will travel with Africa Zim Travel and Tours any time again!

A Great Trip by Knowledgeable Guides
We were a group of 6 mature friends who engaged with Zim Travel and Tours for a Victoria Falls and Botswana experience in 10 days. We were not disappointed in their experience, effiency, helpfulness and friendliness. For a tour within our budget we felt we were well looked after. Blessing and Sheila were great guides and took us to places that gave us a taste of life in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Highlights were the Addo Elephant Park, sleeping under the stars on the salt pans ( amazing), Chobe Safaris, and seeing the Victoria Falls.
Sadly, the country was struggling with the effects of drought and there were low water levels at the Falls.
We would use them again. Feel we got good value for the money.
Accomodatios were clean with comfortable beds, but not 5 star, but we were not expecting that.

A most memorable, enjoyable, informative, happy and fun experience
Firstly my experience in booking our tour directly with Blessing of Africa Zim, was not only straightforward but he was very accommodating to our tight time frame. From the outset the logistics required to get us from our hotel and across the border to Botswana to meet up with other clients and our tour driver was spot on and similarly on our return. Over our three day camping trip we had two fantastic river safaris on the incredible Chobe river where elephants, hippo, buffalo and crocodile were in abundance as well as many more animals and birds. We had four truck safaris where our excellent guide, Captain, was an encyclopaedia of knowledge and information and put himself out to find us the best wild game and the best viewpoints. Amongst his highlights were a pride of 18 lions, fourteen of which walked right in front of our vehicle and a solitary leopard. He was a most kind and considerate guide. The overnight camp staff fed us extremely well and all the tents and equipment were first class. As well as the excellent cuisine and company round the camp fire a hot bush shower was also a novel and cleansing experience. The whole trip will remain the highlight to our visit to Southern Africa.

Three awesome tours !!!
Africa Zim are really the best !!! Highly recommend !!!
Always punctual and well organised and everything as was promised.
We thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the Boma dinner - loved the variety of food, the entertainment and
we were all given drums to beat ourselves. Even ate a worm & received a certificate !!
The unforgettable experience of walking with the lions was amazing - were given plenty of time to have photos taken while trying to keep up with their pace, lol - nice breakfast afterwards. Our 3rd tour was an incredible full day trip to Chobe where we saw animals everywhere - definitely one tour not to miss !!! thankyou to the guides for their organisation and help.

Magical Botswana and Zimbabwe Personalised Tour
Africa Zim Travel & Tours were absolutely amazing. I found Blessing to be incredibly flexible and keen to cater for our specific travel plans and schedule. Our dream trip to Africa included a 5 day horse trek through the Okavango Delta with Okavango Horse Safaris. I emailed Blessing when planning our holiday, months before our departure, to see if he could arrange a personalised tour to extend our stay in Africa. All was arranged via email and a deposit paid. I must admit I was a bit hesitant to arrange everything by email with a Zimbabwean tour company but I now have the opportunity to add to the many positive trip advisor reviews and glowing testimonials from happy travellers. We were picked up by a smiling driver called Andy at Maun airport after our Horse Safari and our next adventure began. Our light aircraft had been delayed numerous times yet he patiently awaited our arrival. The safari tour was very organised, very safe and very professional. Our tour included Chobe National Park, Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls, multiple game drives, river cruises, excellent accommodation, great meals and so many unforgettable experiences. I really can't thank their team enough. Travelling with a local guide is amazing and certainly made the border crossings a breeze. Every attempt was made to make our safari just perfect and I cannot fault their service. I can't recommend them highly enough. We would go again in a heartbeat!
