An Unforgettable 15-Day Southern African Journey with Africa Zim Travel
We have just completed an incredible 15-day private tour from Windhoek, Namibia, to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, organised by Africa Zim Travel & Tours. It was a truly memorable journey through Namibia and Botswana, ending at the magnificent Victoria Falls.
The itinerary was exceptionally well designed, giving us a wonderful combination of deserts, wildlife, rivers, national parks and spectacular natural scenery. Over 15 days, we travelled through Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Damaraland, Etosha National Park, the Okavango River, the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park and Victoria Falls.
What impressed us most about Africa Zim Travel was the organisation and smooth execution of the entire journey. Despite the enormous distances involved and travelling through different countries and environments, everything worked remarkably well.
The combination of a carefully planned itinerary, excellent accommodation, private transportation, safari activities and a dedicated driver-guide made the trip very comfortable and enjoyable. The itinerary also gave us enough variety that every few days brought a completely different landscape and experience.
We would like to give a special thanks to driver cum guide Thobias. His professionalism, safe driving, good humour, patience and knowledge made a significant contribution to our enjoyment of the trip. Spending so many days together on the road, we could not have asked for a better driver and companion.
Thank you to Pamela and the entire Africa Zim Travel & Tours team for organising such a wonderful adventure. chosen, but a few stood out particularly for us.
Chobe Safari Lodge was superb, especially because of its beautiful location on the banks of the Chobe River, surrounded by wildlife and birdlife.
Etosha Safari Lodge was another favourite. The lodge was comfortable, spacious and beautifully situated just outside Etosha National Park, making it an excellent base for our safari.
We also particularly enjoyed our stay in Swakopmund. The Delight Swakopmund was comfortable, centrally located and provided an excellent base for exploring the town.

Better than expected
We were stunned to realise we had a private tour. Just the 2 of us and our guide, Charity. We spent 8 days being chauffeured around and taken to some of the beast eateries in the evenings. Charity knew them everywhere we went.
Can't say enough about Charity. She was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Anything we wanted to do, she was more than happy to help arrange. Her recommendations for dining were superb and her local knowledge amazing. We learnt so much from her.
Would definitely recommend Africa Zim to anyone considering Zimbabwe and Botswana and we would absolutely use them for another tour.
Expert travel agency - great private tours arranged for fair price
We used Africa Zim for a recent holiday and they are very credible. They arranged private tours and guides for my family with good flexibility and great service. They helped us through any small issues and guided our border crossings and provided local recommendations for food and visits. I liked Kudzie our private guide and recommend you ask for him. You will be very safe and at ease with their service. I was surprised at how safe the experience was, far safer than my home city in the Midwest America. And the animals you will see are beyond the imagination our guide helped spot lion cubs and their mother, rhinos in Zambia, herds of elephants and hippos. You will fall in love with Africa and in love with this travel agency.
Africa Zim was an incredible team - highly trusted, super friendly and very knowledgeable
We had an incredible time with Africa Zim team they arranged a perfectly scheduled and rich experience for us. Our family of 6 including a 10 yr and 16 yr old had the most magical adventure we always dreamed of. Pamela and Sharon worked closely with us to schedule the trip and delightful and our driver & tour guide Kudzie was kind and very competent. We went to local places and the tourist highlights. Chobe visit could easily be 2-3 days with the land and boat safari, Hwange was further but my favorite as it was even more of a local destination. Go to Miombo safari lodge in Hwange and you will love the more rustic and local safari - Tok is the best guide. I can’t say enough about Africa Zim team but they are trusted and very efficient and kind.

The trip of a lifetime, thanks to great organization, quick response time, and an exceptional guide.
This was truly the trip of a lifetime, thanks to Africazim. Every aspect of the journey was exceptionally well organized, from the itinerary to the logistics. Our trip lasted approximately 15 days, starting in Windhoek and ending at Victoria Falls. Throughout the trip, the team at Africazim remained remarkably flexible in accommodating our requests and adapting plans whenever needed. Communication was always prompt, and their advice before and during the trip was thoughtful, practical, and invaluable. Namibia's spectacular dunes were among the highlights of our journey. We especially loved the accomodation at Desert Grace and Mokuti Etosha Lodges, both of which exceeded our expectations. Above all, our local guide and driver made the experience unforgettable. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of wildlife, local traditions, and way of life, together with his warm personality and impeccable driving, enriched every day of our trip. I wholeheartedly recommend Africazim to anyone looking for an unforgettable African adventure.

Fantastic driving tour of 3 countries in Southern Africa
Africa Zim was our first experience traveling to Africa. I cannot really express how perfect this trip was. Our driver and guide Ronald was exceptional and beyond helpful. He was knowledgable, funny, caring and everywhere we went people new him.
Communications were ideal in that AfricaZim got back to us immediately and the pricing was very reasonable. We started our safari travels in Windhoek,Namibia where Ronald met us at the airport. We took off and drove through Namibia and the Namib desert which was gorgeous.Then up the lower Skeleton coast to see the Cape fur seals. Our hotels were incredibly upscale, comfortable and our guide made as many stops as we needed along the way. The people at hotels and outings were incredibly happy, friendly and interested in our welfare. We continued on to Botswana and Etosha National Park, Moremi Game Reserve and to Chobe National Park. The safaris were excellent and we saw Zebras, elephants, lions (male and female), cheetah, giraffes and hippos, Kudu, Springbok, warthogs, ostrich, etc.. Africa Zim scheduled evening sunset cruises for us and these were spectacular. Another great suggested stop was the Okavango River and delta. Our outing in dug-out canoes on the Okavango delta was exciting as we were near hippos in the water and we had a great hike on one of the many islands in the delta. We continued to Zimbabwe and Victory Falls. Everything they planned for us was accomplished. Every time I emailed before the trip with questions they responded quickly. My husband and I are planning another trip to Tanzania and we will definitely use Africa Zim. Our first experience in Africa was perfect because of their planning.

Amazing experience with Africa Zim Travel and Tours!
From the very first moment at the airport in Victoria Falls to the final goodbye at Windhoek Airport, it was a perfectly organized and truly magical journey.
We started in Zambia and Zimbabwe, where we spent wonderful time in Victoria Falls, then continued to Botswana, visiting Chobe, Elephant Sands, and the Okavango Delta. We finished our adventure in Namibia, with Etosha, Twyfelfontein, and Deadvlei among the many highlights.
We were a group of four adults and one 4-year-old child, travelling in a very comfortable vehicle equipped with a child seat. Our accommodation was excellent, with very good—and sometimes even luxurious—lodges throughout the trip.
I cannot praise our guide and driver, Mtho, enough. He made our holiday truly memorable and ensured everything went as smoothly as possible, despite the challenges of travelling in Africa. Thanks to him, we experienced the wonders of nature while enjoying excellent organization and a high level of comfort.
All of us were amazed by the beauty of Africa and by the professionalism of Africa Zim Travel and Tours. Our 4-year-old son handled the long 3,500 km journey remarkably well, quickly adapted to the “African massage” on gravel roads, and enthusiastically joined all activities, including early morning game drives and an unforgettable helicopter flight over the Okavango Delta—one of the many highlights of this incredible tour.
Mtho was a true gem, and we can highly recommend both him and Africa Zim Travel and Tours. Last but not least, the food was exceptional and exceeded our expectations by far.
We will definitely come back and hope that Pamela and Sharon will prepare another amazing adventure for us, with Mtho as our guide and driver again!
He tour operator was very responsive and provided a well planned and executed guided trip.
From initial contact through trip execution Africa Zim was very responsive. The office personnel helped guide us through the various options on places to visit, lodging and extra curricular activities. They also provided guidance on visa applications and travel logistics. We were met by their guide who was a fantastic, knowledgable and personable individual. He ensured that our trip was fun and educational and entertained us with relevant local information. He made necessary adjustments to our itinerary in light of our interests and capabilities. He also advocated for us with lodging or tour providers when appropriate to give us the best experience possible. Overall the trip was beyond our expectations and an absolutely great experience. We have recommended their services to our two nieces for an upcoming Africa trip in September and we plan to return for a Tanzanian trip next July.

What an extraordinary experience!
My sister and I have just completed a week travelling from Victoria Falls to Maun, and it is an experience we will never forget. I just don't have adequate words to describe all the wonderful moments - the landscape, encounters with wildlife, our excellent guides and meeting both locals and other travellers.
Pamela, our host, was friendly, kind and helpful, and all of our guides were very knowledgeable.
I would recommend Africa Zim to anyone considering a guided safari, and hope to return myself.

Comfortable and kind service
We visited Victoria Falls, Angel's Pool with high tea, and Botswana Chobe River safaris. All activities were arranged orderly, and with knowledgeable and experienced guides.
