Kept us comfortable in Africa
5/5

Francis picked us up from the airport and took us to the office to go through our schedule. They were SO accommodating which was appreciated because our kids are 4,7 &9 years old. All activities were wonderful, safe and very exciting. Our activities in Zimbabwe (stayed at Rainbow hotel) were Vic Falls tour, walking with Cheetahs, sunset cruise on the Zambezi, Drum show with dinner, and river rafting. Then we headed to Botswana and did 2 days in Chobe, then stayed at Elephant sands, then camped in the Okavango Delta 2 nights. Ended with a Helicopter tour over the delta. (9 days in all) Francis was with us the whole time and worked with Oscar to organize everything to be smooth all the way until he dropped us off at the airport. All guides, experiences, food, lodging was top notch and was the best value we could find. Africa (coming from USA) isn’t for beginners and if you’re on the fence, 100% go with Zambezi Expeditions!!!

From the moment they picked me up to the final drop-off, every detail was perfect.
5/5

I had an amazing experience with Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours. From the initial communication to the final drop-off, everything was handled professionally and efficiently.

The team was friendly, reliable, and ensured that every detail of the trip was well organized. The accommodation they arranged was comfortable and exceeded my expectations, and the tours were absolutely beautiful and memorable.

The team was incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive—they constantly made sure we were comfortable during the rides and at every place we visited, which made the whole journey stress-free and enjoyable. Every part of the tour was well organized. We had a wonderful time exploring Victoria Falls, and every experience—from the delicious food to the game drive and the boat cruise—was absolutely unforgettable.

I truly felt that the experience was great value for money, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a visit to Victoria Falls.

Thank you once again Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours for the welcome experience.

Excellent planning and execution
5/5

We are a couple and did the Victoria Falls, Chobe, Elephant Sands and Okavango Delta trip which can only be described as a once in a lifetime experience. The personal service provided to us made it feel seamless, although we appreciate that it must take a huge amount of organisation and work from the whole team at Zambezi Expeditions.

The included activities as well planned, transfers were communicated well and groups were small.All the guides we had were extremely knowledgeable and had an obvious passion for animals and nature.

A special word of thanks to Francis who was our guide and driver during the longer transfers. He went out of his way to accommodate our every wish.

We really appreciated how Zambezi Expiditions was able to personalise our trip and we enjoyed being either alone as a couple or in a small group for the game drives and boat safaris.

The day l will never forget
5/5



⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I had the most incredible experience on this boat cruise for our honeymoon! From the moment we stepped on board, everything was seamless and beautifully organized. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel so special — it truly felt like a personalized experience.

The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunset, and the ambiance on the boat was romantic and relaxing. The food and drinks were delicious, and every little detail was perfect.

This cruise made our honeymoon unforgettable, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a magical, romantic experience on the water. Thank you for making our special trip so memorable! 💖

Nice but improvable value for money
3/5

Good-meaning agency, especially Silence who took a lot of care of us pre-departure, and we went during the green season
Overall a few critical points we observed:
1. the list of payed add-ons has low value for money, and we believe it catered specifically to a particular type of (red, white & blue) tourists
2. We don’t understand why so many meals were excluded: they could add it on top of the Safari package price for an additional +10% difference, a risk we feel not worth the major extra bother of autonomy imposed onto the customers itself.
3. WhatsApp comms with the agency didn’t work while on tour, relied on agency guide on tour (when available). Had to arrange to a cab ourselves go for dinner in VFalls, owing to miscommunication.
4. Little proactivity from agency guide on tour, available mainly when prompted, clarity with briefing can improve significantly.
5. Overall, it’s quite poor in terms of game drives, we added 2 extra bringing the total to 4 drives, to extract maximum wildlife exposure time. The game drives plan per se needs revisiting, as they planned a jeopardisingly-late departure at 8am instead of common practice ~5.30-6am for a morning game drive. We also felt that 2 days in VFalls were too many as we only cared for the falls there.
6. On the bright side, the Hwange Safari Lodge accommodation was magnificent and highly recommended for a stay, and the last-mile guides (on game drives, at the falls, on the Zambezi cruise) were very well prepared, kind and available.

5/5

Oscar and his team from Zambezi Expedition took exceptional care of us throughout our 8-day journey across Botswana. We made several last-minute requests, including additional safari game drives in Chobe National Park and changing one day from the Okavango Delta to the Moremi Game Reserve. Even though we asked for these changes only one day in advance, everything was handled flawlessly and helped make our dream safari a reality.

All safari guides and drivers were extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable, and they did a fantastic job throughout the entire trip.
