Very disappointed and dissatisfied after reading so many positive reviews - not my experience at all
1/5

I was so disappointed and dissatisfied with my recent safari with Zambezi Expedition. I had previously been on three other safaris with different companies and hence had a good idea of what to expect since those previous three were all brilliant and extremely enjoyable. Unfortunately, however this was not my experience with Zambezi Expedition, and I felt very let down. The safari I went on was advertised as 3 Days / 2 Nights Victoria Falls and Hwange Camping Tour with all meals provided. The 1st day was essentially spent with them collecting me from Victoria Falls at 10am and being driven to a Lodge for Lunch arriving at approx 1.30pm. Despite the fact that the advertisement claimed, "all meals provided", after Lunch I was told that I was expected to pay for my own Meal which was contrary to the advertisement. The remainder of the 1st day was then spent travelling to a sanctuary nearby where I saw 2 wild dogs, then onto the Lodge where I slept for 2 nights. So there was no Game driving or safari type activity on the 1st day.
On the 2nd day, at approx 7am after Breakfast, I was taken in the vehicle to the entrance of the park to pick up another couple, then we went for a short drive around in the park but then had to return again to the entrance to collect another couple and then finally embarked on the Game drive. I felt that the morning had been wasted with going to and fro collecting people. The 2nd day concluded with Dinner at the lodge.
On the 3rd day, after breakfast, I expected like with the other 3 safaris I had previously been on, that I would be taken again for a final Game drive however that did not happen. I literally waited at the Lodge until approx 9.30am and was simply picked up and driven back to the starting point at Victoria Falls. I would hardly consider this a "3 day safari" when essentially the only time actually spent on a Game drive per se was Day 2. There was too much idle time siting around the Lodge which could have been better utilized for animal viewing, like I had done on the previous 3 safaris. There was inadequate activity provided for the cost so I felt that this was very poor value for money.
None of this Review should come as a surprise to the Owner since he did approach me afterwards at Victoria Falls because my dismay had been communicated back to him and I re-iterated exactly what I have written here.
On a positive note, the food which was provided was excellent, as well as the staff and the accommodation. The Driver was an excellent safe driver but the whole trip was let down by the complete lack of activity. I would not recommend this particular safari tour unless they make considerable changes to their Itinerary.

Always available, responsive and flexible to all our requests
4/5

Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was very responsive from the start by sending us a plan and estimate based on our specific requests and adjusted it as per our desires even during the trip. Their feedback and response to our questions and requests were always timely and positive. Almost all accommodations reserved (except for one that was basic) were amazing. Although they are based in Zimbabwe, they efficiently arranged our trip section in Botswana with their partner agencies based there.

Superb!!!
5/5

Zambezi Expedition Travel & Tours did an outstanding job overall! We booked an 8-day trip that included Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Everything was arranged smoothly and professionally. When we encountered unforeseen circumstances, such as delayed flights and bad weather, they were very flexible. Mr. Oscar and Ms. Silence made sure that everything was rescheduled so we wouldn’t miss any of our preferred activities. Mr. Oscar (I believe he is the boss) even went out of his way to accompany us during the busiest day of our trip.

As it was our first time visiting the continent (2 females), we were so he grateful to have booked with them, as they made it an unforgettable experience. We felt well taken care of from start to finish and felt safe throughout our journey.

I highly recommend Zambezi Expedition Travel & Tours and wish them continued success!

Great tour- good value for money
5/5

The tour is great and covers interesting places. It is well organised. Silence and Oscar were very helpful and available for any questions we had. We also booked few extra activities before and during our stay, which was easily organised. Our driver Francis was polite and friendly. We were on a budget tour and we liked the campsites at Victoria falls, Elephants Sands and Okavango delta basic bush camp. The opportunity for improvements would be to choose nicer camp near Chobe.
During safari in Chobe se saw a lot of animals, highlight was elephants crossing the river. Safari in Okavango delta was special, far away from civilisations, the campsite was very nice and the cooks prepared delicious food. Walking safari is also special experience. We think this tour provides excellent value for money for visiting Victoria falls, Chobe and Okavango delta.
