Amazing professional game drive is ever had in my entire travelling time around the globe...........
Our game drive with Savannah Adventures in Zambezi National Park felt like a classic African safari done the right way. Calm, professional guiding and a relaxed pace made it truly special. Our guide Mthabisi was extremely knowledgeable, and the small-group setting gave it a private, personal touch.
We can highly recommend booking directly with Savannah Adventures. Their office is conveniently located at N1 Hotel, where we booked our drive. Don’t book with street agents—book with Savannah Adventures for a proper safari experience.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Thank you very much for this wonderful feedback and for choosing Savannah Adventures.
We are truly pleased to hear that your game drive in Zambezi National Park felt like a classic African safari—calm, well-paced, and done the proper way. That is exactly the experience we aim to offer: unhurried time in the bush, away from crowds, with full focus on the wildlife and the surroundings.
A special thank you for your kind words about Mthabisi. His knowledge and passion for wildlife, combined with a professional and relaxed guiding style, truly make a difference, and we will gladly pass your feedback on to him.
We also appreciate you highlighting the small-group, personal approach and your recommendation to book directly. Our team at the N1 Hotel is always there to ensure everything runs smoothly from the very first contact.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Victoria Falls for another authentic safari experience in the future.
Warm regards,

overall great experience
We can absolutely recommend this safari with Mthabisi; a sustainable, heartfelt and unforgettable experience! we were staying at the Jollyboys Hostel in Livingstone, Zambia, and spontaneously decided to do another safari in Zimbabwe. That's how we came across this company, and it was a fantastic decision! We contacted them via WhatsApp; we found their number on their website. It was straightforward, and the staff were very helpful. Payment was also seamless. Crossing the border was easy, and from the border crossing, it was just a short walk to the N1 Hotel, where our afternoon safari began.
The tour took place in Zambezi National Park and was an absolute highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Mthabisi, was incredibly friendly and helpful, explaining a lot to us and making sure we saw as many animals as possible.
We especially appreciated that the animals were treated with great respect and not disturbed unnecessarily. The denser bushes at the moment meant we had to look a little more carefully, but that's precisely what made the safari so authentic. The scenery was breathtaking, and we still saw a huge number of animals!
At the end, they even drove us back to the border, which was a really great and helpful service.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese ausführliche und wertschätzende Rückmeldung – und dafür, dass Sie sich für Savannah Adventures entschieden haben.
Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihre spontane Entscheidung für eine Safari in Zambezi National Park zu einem solchen Highlight Ihrer Reise geworden ist. Genau diese unkomplizierten, authentischen Erlebnisse sind es, die eine Reise nach Victoria Falls so besonders machen.
Ein großes Dankeschön auch für Ihre freundlichen Worte über Mthabisi. Seine ruhige, respektvolle Art im Umgang mit der Natur und seine Leidenschaft für die Tierwelt machen jede Safari zu einem echten Erlebnis – ganz im Sinne einer klassischen, nachhaltigen Safari, wie sie seit jeher gedacht ist.
Dass Sie den respektvollen Umgang mit den Tieren sowie die natürliche, etwas dichtere Vegetation als Teil eines echten Buscherlebnisses wahrgenommen haben, freut uns besonders. Genau so soll eine Safari sein: nicht inszeniert, sondern echt.
Auch dass die Organisation – von der WhatsApp-Kontaktaufnahme über die Grenzüberquerung bis hin zum Transfer zurück – für Sie reibungslos und angenehm war, ist für uns ein großes Lob.
Wir danken Ihnen nochmals für Ihr Vertrauen und Ihre klare Empfehlung und würden uns sehr freuen, Sie eines Tages wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.
Herzliche Grüße

Chobe River Safari: Super convenient booking, excellent service, enjoyable game viewing
We booked a 1/2 day river Chobe River safari via Savannah Adventures. The booking was made barely 2 days before the trip and we were not sure whether we would be able to get the safari in. Savvanah's team was great in terms of coordinating the booking and making sure we got to go.
On the morning of our safari, we were picked up by Taf from our hotel in Victoria Falls on time in a clean and comfortable van and driven to the Botswana border, where Taf helped us with immigration formalities and then to find our transport to Chobe River. Our boat driver and guide, Mike, was very friendly and super knowledgeable and helped us see hippos, elephants, buffalos and other game and birds. We had an especially memorable elephant sighting with a herd of more than 50 elephants barely 50 feet from our boat.
The ride back was on time, quick and comfortable and we were left with several hours of sunlight to enjoy other activities in Victoria Falls.
Since we had a few clothes and shoes to donate to a local orphanage that Savannah Adventures supports in Victoria Falls, one of their team came to pick us up the next morning so we could go visit the children staying there and give them the items we had with us. This added experience was invaluable for us.
Many thanks Matthias and Taf for making our time in Victoria Falls so much richer.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for choosing Savannah Adventures.
We are truly pleased to hear that everything came together smoothly, even with a last-minute booking. Our team always does its best to coordinate quickly and reliably so our guests don’t miss out on these special experiences.
A special thank you for your kind words about Tafadzwa Mashiri and your river guide Mike. From timely pick-up and seamless border assistance to knowledgeable guiding on the Chobe River, this is exactly the level of service we strive to maintain.
Your elephant sighting sounds incredible—being that close to a large herd on the river is one of those rare, unforgettable safari moments that stays with you for a lifetime.
We are also especially grateful for your support of the local community. Taking the time to visit and contribute to the children means a great deal, and we are honored to help facilitate such meaningful experiences beyond the safari itself.
Thank you again for your trust, your kindness, and your appreciation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Victoria Falls one day for another authentic safari adventure.
Warm regards,

Operator that delivers personalized, unforgettable experiences with passionate local guides
We had an outstanding experience with Savannah Adventures during our stay in Victoria Falls. Conveniently based at the N1 Hotel, where we were staying, they made organizing our activities and airport transfers seamless and stress-free.
We booked all our excursions through them (extended private 1-day Chobe safari + Quadripoint, Livingstone +Mukumi village, airport transfers), and every detail was handled with professionalism and care. The absolute highlight was our extended private Chobe safari—yes, it’s on the pricier side, but worth every penny. From start to finish, the day was unforgettable.
Our driver Eddie got us to the border smoothly, and then Richard, our safari guide, took over with incredible energy and expertise. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, and his passion for the bush truly made our first safari magical. KK led the water safari portion with equal enthusiasm, rounding out a day that felt both adventurous and personal.
Savannah Adventures combines local knowledge with top-tier service. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls and want a hassle-free, memorable safari experience, this is the team to trust.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Большое спасибо за такой подробный и тёплый отзыв и за то, что выбрали Savannah Adventures во время вашего пребывания в Victoria Falls.
Нам очень приятно слышать, что организация всех ваших активностей — от трансферов до экскурсий — прошла легко и без лишних забот. Именно так, с вниманием к деталям и индивидуальным подходом, и должны проводиться настоящие сафари-путешествия.
Отдельное спасибо за высокую оценку расширенного приватного сафари в Chobe National Park. Это действительно один из самых насыщенных и впечатляющих опытов, который позволяет провести больше времени в дикой природе и увидеть её без спешки.
Мы обязательно передадим ваши добрые слова нашим коллегам — Эдди, Ричарду и КК. Их энергия, знания и искренняя любовь к природе делают каждое сафари особенным и по-настоящему запоминающимся.
Для нас большая честь быть частью вашего первого сафари и сделать его таким ярким. Благодарим за доверие и рекомендации. Будем рады снова приветствовать вас в Африке для новых приключений.
С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Команда Savannah Adventures

Our dealings with Matthias Dohling, Savannah Adventures Marketing Director, were fabulous.
My wife and I booked a trip to Victoria Falls. About four months before we left we booked a Chobe Quadripoint day trip with Savannah Adventures. Living in the USA we were nervous about Africa scams, but read the reviews and booked the day trip anyway and sent our deposit. While in Africa we were notified by Savannah Adventures that the Zambezi River was too low and we could not visit the Quadripoint, but they would extend other aspects of the trip to make up for it. We were disappointed, and decided not to go on the day trip. We asked for a refund of our deposit, and to our VERY pleasant surprise, Savannah Adventures immediately refunded our deposit. I would highly recommend this company. They are legit and have a lot of integrity.

Posted on Apr 18, 2026Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for your trust in Savannah Adventures.
We completely understand your disappointment regarding the Quadripoint visit. Unfortunately, natural conditions like water levels on the Zambezi River are beyond anyone’s control, and in such cases, we always aim to be transparent and offer fair alternatives.
At the same time, we firmly believe that doing business the proper way—honest, straightforward, and respectful—matters far more in the long run. If a guest decides not to proceed, then a prompt and full refund is simply the right thing to do.
It means a great deal to us that you recognized this and highlighted it in your review. Building trust, especially for guests traveling from overseas, is something we take very seriously.
Should your travels bring you back to Africa in the future, it would be our pleasure to welcome you again and show you the experience as it is meant to be.
Warm regards,
Matthias Dohling
