Customise Travel & Tours was amazing and perfectly tailored our trip to Zimbabwe.
5/5

I cannot recommend Customise Travel & Tours enough. We were scheduled to have a 3 day trip to Victoria Falls and unfortunately our flight was canceled. We were able to arrive a day late, and Brian with Customise Travel & Tours ensured that we were still able to complete our entire itinerary. He truly went above and beyond. We were thrilled with our trip.

Perfect relaxing solo getaway
5/5

From start to finish this tour was exactly what I was looking for! A tour of Zimbabwe that have a taste of everything Africa has to offer with down time and a little bit of luxury (4 days 3 night)

Brian was on time to collect me from the airport with a smile and a bottle of water, he transferred me to My accommodation and ensured check in was smooth (Pioneer Lodge). I had enough time for a shower before going on the evening cruise

The cruise on the Zambezi with Pure Africa was so tranquil and relaxing, I was looked after so well by all the staff. The 4 course meal was amazing, I could not fault it at all.

Day 2 : Brian collected me with Gary, who was my guide for a walk around Victoria falls. Gary was very knowledgeable and talked about all aspects from the Kuzu national park, the animals, the falls and the plant life we saw on the Victoria falls walk. The falls are magical as the mist clears to reveal the falls and then covers them again ! We were soaking , but it was worth it to be so close to the falls

I talked and walked so much I missed the helicopter slot booked for that morning! But that wasn’t a problem as Brian had re-arranged it so I could enjoy the falls to the maximum. The helicopter ride provided a different view to the falls and it was spectacular. As we returned to the helipad we saw elephants, giraffes and impala below in the trees.

That evening Brian drove me to ‘The Boma’ which is a chance to try local foods. There was no as much game food as I would like to have tried, but the food was well cooked and tasty. The dancing and drumming was magnificent- and to be able to participate with your own drum added to the experience. I was feeling tired, and messaged Brian, who came earlier than agreed to collect me.

My final day Brian drove me to the Botswana boarder, where he introduced me to ‘LT’ (probably spelt wrong!) from Waterburg safari. The jeep was comfortable , but you do need to take extra coats for the morning drive to Chobe ! It was cool! Coffee drinks and water were provided a three points by LT during the day. My only comment is that personally I would have liked more commentary on the animals as we saw them. But the morning drive was nevertheless really enjoyable. We saw giraffe, lions, impala, buffalo, antelopes, kudu, elephants, vultures, hippopotamus and crocodiles. For lunch we transferred to a hotel, which provided a hot buffet - the food was faultless ! Then we transferred onto a boat to cruise the river searching for animals. We were so lucky because the herd of elephants decided they wanted to cross the river in-front of us! We got up close and personal with crocodiles, hippopotamuses, warthogs, impala, kudu and some of the bird. LT drove us back to the boarder, where Brian was waiting to take me back To the hotel.

The next day Brian arrived on time to transfer me back To the airport with his lovely wife and daughter.

This has been my first solo trip, I have felt safe and secure the whole time. Brian made sure I knew what time I needed to be in reception and he personally made sure other tour companies collected me on time when using other tour providers. Before I booked Brian was very communicative by email, answering questions, and once I arrived I had Brian’s WhatsApp number so I could communicate with him while in Zimbabwe.

I can not recommend customise travel and tours highly enough. If you want a stress free, relaxing African experience this is the company you should book through.

Beautiful country and region with good travel agency
5/5

We spent a week in zimbabwe in the Victoria Falls region, with day trips to Botswana & Zambia.
The whole trip was wonderful and thanks to good planning we were able to see a lot in a short time.
Our ideas were taken into account and integrated into the travel planning.
The recommended accommodation at Pioneers Victoria Falls was excellent with new facilities, beautiful surroundings and great food.
We can highly recommend the travel agency, and the price-performance ratio is definitely right.
Many thanks to Brian and Customize Travel & Tours for the unforgettable trip.

Customise Tours is the Absolute Best!
5/5

I booked a 4-day Victoria Falls and Chobe Tour with Brian. This was my first visit to Africa and I was traveling alone. Brian put together an amazing itinerary for the time that I had to visit Victoria Falls and Chobe. He showed up promptly at the airport upon my arrival, and made sure I felt safe and comfortable throughout my visit. Brian is so hardworking, organized and kind, and I sincerely enjoyed his company during my visit. It felt like I was seeing Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls alongside a friend I had known for years.
Victoria Falls was a truly magical and majestic site of nature to see. My entire visit to Africa entailed South Africa and Namibia, but the experience in Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls was a definite highlight. The animals such as elephants and giraffes were abundant even outside of game drives. Highly recommend visiting Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls with Customise Tours - you will have a lovely and memorable experience with one of the best guides in the area!
