Fabulous Adventure. Exceeded expectations from the moment we stepped into the continent. What a team
5/5

Superb guidance, counsel from Day 0 accommodating our needs, ensuring the best service and value-added tours. What a fantastic team and partners that made us feel at home all the way before we said good bye. We just could not have asked for more. Great organisation and operator supported by a very committed team of humble experts.

trip filled with life time memories made real and brought to life by Vayeni.

Thanks a ton Suzanne. Our gratitude to the team as well - Madre, AJ, James, Bernard and Alan

Eastern Highlands Tour
5/5

I hadn't been to the beautiful Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe for many years. Two friends and I thought it would be a good thing to do a self-drive holiday after a safari in the Zambezi Valley.
I asked Suzanne, co-owner of Vayeni, to suggest and price a 6-night tour of the Eastern Highlands and Great Zimbabwe, staying at good hotels and lodges.
When the prices came back I thought there'd been a mistake - prices for hotels, including the fabulous Leopard Rock Hotel, and meals were so low! But those were the prices - some pretty negotiaters at Vayeni.
Cost of the car hire was also very competitive.
Vayeni's Mel met us in Harare and saw us into our hotel, delivered the car and remained in touch throughout our trip. Bookings were reliable, the places which Vayeni had suggested were great and the whole trip went like clockwork.
I've referred Vayeni to other Aussie friends and they report similar satisfaction.
Good people and I'll use them again.

A great itinerary - great balance in regards to activities - great accommodation.
5/5

Excellent communication - well balanced in terms of activities - great accommodation - all of the transfers were trouble free. Vayeni’s representative dropped in at the Lodge on the first day to touch base - a nice touch and very personal making the visit to Victoria Falls enjoyable and memorable.

Exceeded our Expectations!
5/5

We have just returned from a fabulous trip arranged entirely by Vayeni. From my first inquiry, Suzanne and her team were prompt with responding, listened to our preferences while also suggesting alternate options which turned out to be highlights, answered our numerous questions, and were overall caring gems to work with.

We traveled to Zimbabwe (Vic Falls and Hwange) and Botswana. Camps, guides, game drives, meals, and all experiences were top notch, run seamlessly. We couldn't have asked for a better trip!

It's evident that Vayeni are experts in planning itineraries, while taking their clients desires into consideration. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vayeni - and already have!

Excellent itinerary and organisation
5/5

We loved the Zimbabwean safari tour that we booked with Vayeni. Communication was clear, prompt and efficient, while the trip itself was a dream - superb excursions, accommodation and food, with excellent guides and staff. Definitely recommended.

Zimbabwe Specialists
5/5

Vayeni was excellent from start to finish. They market themselves as Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana specialists - and this is 100% accurate. Our every need was catered for in tours, safari, village tours, rafting, horseback riding and more. Nothing was a problem and our small group of 8 was often split up during the days with people doing different tours at different times etc. The personal touch Suzanne and her small team provided was brilliant and thoroughly professional and made our very busy holiday totally seamless and thoroughly enjoyable.

Seamless
5/5

We travelled as a couple as part of a larger group, for a portion of the total group tour duration. From start to finish our 9 day safari went like clockwork. All transfers were there and waiting when we arrived. all drivers very professional and aware (eg- ensuring all bag counts were correct). Accommodation and safaris/ safari drivers could not be faulted, and the smaller details eg- organising the elephant Express train ride as part of our trip was the cream on the cake

5/5

Our experience with Vayeni was excellent. Suzanne and Mel organized a 23 day trip through Zimbabwe and Zambia delivering exactly what we requested and arranging a wonderful, very memorable safari through 4 camps in Zimbabwe and 4 camps in South Luangwa NP in Zambia. Our travel arrangements were well organized and our camps were exceptional. We had great guides and amazing wildlife encounters. Every detail of our trip was well planned and executed. Suzanne was responsive and very helpful and we had a fantastic trip and we couldn't be more grateful.
