A totally professional, friendly, responsive and friendly operator.
We were a family of four travelling from UK to Victoria Falls. We stayed at N1 and wanted to make the most of our 11 days in Victoria Falls. We contacted Savannah Adventures and they immediately were responsive. They helped me compile an itinerary whilst in the UK. We paid cash upon arrival at N1. It was a simple and safe way of doing business. The game drives, and othe activities arranged by Savannah Adventures were superb. As well as the spectacular Falls, we saw countless animals, including rhino and lion. Everything went smoothly and has left us with best memories to last a lifetime. I even received a WhatsApp call in the UK from Savannah Adventures to go over everything. So professional. (One thing to remember if you are taking a child under 18 into Botswana, you need child's birth certificate. Savannah Adventures DID tell me but I forgot (fortunately I knew where it was and got a neighbour who keeps a key to go photograph it and WhatsApp it to me, so all was sorted in the end!). I would most definitely recommend Savannah Adventures to any of my friends who wish to travel to Zimbabwe.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026hank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback, and for choosing Savannah Adventures for your family trip.
We are truly pleased to hear that your entire experience—from the initial planning while you were still in the UK to your time on the ground in Victoria Falls—was smooth, professional, and enjoyable. Taking the time to carefully plan an itinerary in advance and then delivering it reliably on arrival is exactly how a proper safari experience should be handled.
It’s wonderful to hear that you made the most of your 11 days and enjoyed both the activities and the incredible wildlife, including rhino and lion sightings. These are the moments that stay with you for a lifetime.
We also appreciate you highlighting the payment process and communication. Keeping things straightforward, transparent, and safe—whether via WhatsApp calls or in-person at N1—is very important to us.
And thank you for mentioning the Botswana border requirement for minors. It’s a small detail, but an important one, and your experience will certainly help other families prepare properly.
We truly value your trust and your recommendation. It was a pleasure hosting you and your family, and we hope to welcome you back again one day for another unforgettable African adventure.
Warm regards,
The Savannah Adventures Team

Well organized tour with great guides.
My husband and I had an amazing day on our tour from Victoria Falls to Chobe. We were able to choose the activities we wanted (game drive, fishing, visit to the quadripoint) and everything was well coordinated. Pickup was on time, and our driver to the border, Eddy, was great to chat with and shared tons of info. He also kindly stopped for us to see animals. The game drive with Richard was incredible. We saw lions, a leopard, impala, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and more. We also did a quick fishing trip and then walked over the bridge to the quadripoint. I definitely recommend this company.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback and for choosing Savannah Adventures.
We’re truly delighted to hear that your Chobe day trip from Victoria Falls was such a memorable experience. Being able to tailor the day—combining a game drive, fishing, and a visit to the quadripoint—is exactly what makes these safaris so special when done properly.
A special thank you for mentioning Eddy and Richard. From the smooth border transfer and informative drive to the outstanding game viewing, this is the level of coordination and guiding we aim to deliver every day. Seeing lions, leopard, elephants, giraffes, and more in a single trip is truly something to remember.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the added touches along the way, from spontaneous wildlife stops to the walk at the quadripoint—these moments often become the highlights.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again for another authentic safari experience.
Warm regards,

Excellent trip to Chobe
Our extended trip to Chobe with Savannah Adventures was an absolute highlight of our trip. We did the extended trip which means you enter the park first thing in the morning at 06h15. Transport from Victoria Falls was very smooth and entertaining. As you leave Victoria Falls at 05h and get back at 20h it is dark and you can already spot some animals. We saw hyenas, elephants and giraffe on our route. Reaching the park early and leaving later is an absolute plus. Our driver Eddy was very entertaining and very knowledgeable. In Chobe we did a fame drive of 6h in the morning and a river tour of 3h in the afternoon until sundown. We saw 10+ lions, 2 leopards, many elephants, buffalos and many other animals. Lunch at midday in buffet form was also great. Passing the border of Zimbabwe with Botswana was also super smooth. We had a blast of a day. In fact all our activities (helicopter flight over Falls, guided tour falls, etc) and transport was arranged by Savannah Adventures. They are 100% recommended. Good service, always on time, reasonable priced and with a lot of expertise and good tips

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Muchas gracias por este comentario tan completo y por confiar en Savannah Adventures para organizar vuestra experiencia.
Nos alegra muchísimo saber que el safari extendido en Chobe National Park fue uno de los grandes momentos de vuestro viaje. Entrar al parque tan temprano y salir más tarde realmente marca la diferencia, ya que permite disfrutar de la fauna en sus horas más activas—y por lo que contáis, ¡tuvisteis avistamientos espectaculares!
Ver leones, leopardos, elefantes, búfalos y tantos otros animales en un solo día es algo muy especial. Además, esos encuentros ya en ruta desde Victoria Falls, incluso antes de llegar al parque, son parte de lo que hace esta experiencia tan auténtica.
Un agradecimiento especial por mencionar a Eddy. Su conocimiento, actitud y forma cercana de guiar hacen que todo el día fluya de manera natural y entretenida.
También nos alegra saber que toda la organización—desde los traslados, el cruce de frontera, hasta las demás actividades como el helicóptero y la visita guiada a las Cataratas—fue puntual y sin complicaciones. Así es como creemos que deben hacerse las cosas: bien planificadas, pero siempre con un trato personal.
Gracias de nuevo por vuestra recomendación. Ha sido un placer organizar vuestro viaje, y esperamos daros la bienvenida otra vez en el futuro.
Un cordial saludo,

Very professional and attentive to detail.
Tafadzwa was amazing at planning my itinerary and making sure I was always on time for my activity pick ups. The detail provided was out of this world and I really felt content and privileged to have chosen savanna adventures for my trip around Zimbabwe!! I wouldn’t think twice about calling Taf for my next trip!

Top notch "Gin & Tonic Safari" at Victoria Falls!
I went with a friend on Savannah Adventures' Gin and Tonic safari after hearing about it through some travellers I was speaking to in town. Tafadzwa who is the charismatic young owner of the company greeted us personally, and after collecting another two guests we made our way to the National Park around mid-afternoon. The driver/guide certainly knew his stuff and even if we hadn't seen the large game we did see, it wouldn't have mattered as he made all the small animals, bugs and plant-life that people usually drive past in ignorance, so interesting. We did see plenty of large game though, including some beautiful giraffe and a pride of young lion at the very last minute after we were leaving our *sun-downer spot (which was spectacular by the way) and heading back to town. *At sundown we stopped right near a pristine white beach on the banks of the Zambezi, Tafadzwa and the guide laid out a camping table and chairs and a few nibbles - the selection of drinks were very welcome, but the Gin and Tonic was all we were interested in!

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Thank you very much for this fantastic review and for choosing Savannah Adventures.
We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Gin & Tonic Safari—this experience is all about slowing things down and enjoying the bush the way it was always meant to be: unhurried, personal, and immersive.
A special thank you for your kind words about Tafadzwa Mashiri and your guide. Taking the time to appreciate not only the big game but also the smaller details of the bush—the tracks, plants, and hidden life—is what turns a good safari into a truly memorable one.
And of course, ending the day along the banks of the Zambezi River with a proper sundowner, a classic Gin & Tonic in hand, and the sounds of Africa around you—that’s a tradition that never loses its magic.
We’re especially glad you were rewarded with those final sightings of giraffe and lion just as the day came to a close. Those last moments often stay with you the longest.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again for another authentic safari experience.
Warm regards,
