Incredibly well planned and life-changing experience!
Debbie is absolutely fantastic to work with, extremely knowledgable, and thoroughly professional. This was my first trip to Africa and my first safari experience and she was incredibly patient as I kept changing my mind early on (I had a traveling companion at first then that person dropped out so she had to re-do the trip), and when I ran into problems with my bank transfers. (And hesitating to send that much money to Zimbabwe!) She worked with me for 9 months, kept the trip within my budget (which was very tight for what I wanted) and made GREAT suggestions for camps and activities. She is extemely responsive, enthusiastic, and set the right expectations. As a first-timer, I didn't know what to expect and she planned the sequence of my trip perfectly, sort of "easing" me into slightly more rustic camps step by step. She explained the trade-offs between saving money by driving between camps and saving time by flying - making a recommendation but leaving the decision to me based on what I valued more. Debbie even called the camps when I was there to make sure things were going well! Victoria Falls Safari Lodge (where I started) was entirely her suggestion (I had researched camps but not places in Vic Falls to stay) and it was perfect. The Ra-Ikane cruise on the Zambezi was also perfect - a more unusual, and much better, choice for this activity. I highly recommend working with her, and trusting her to make your trip wonderful! I stayed at Davison's Camp (Hwange), Musango Camp (Lake Kariba) and Goliath Safari Camp (Mana Pools) - all have warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgable staff and guides. I put my faith, trust, and the most money I've ever spent on anything (including my car!!) into Debbie's hands and she produced an incredible safari for me.
Experience Africa safaris and Debbie Ewing were Professional and helpful at all times.
Debbie listened to our holiday wish list and managed to come up with an unforgettable holiday experience which catered for all our needs, from those of our 5 year old to our 75 year old. She found us the perfect safari camp with fabulous tents, wonderful guides and amazing game viewing. Everything from transfers to and from the camp, our accommodation and food was of excellent quality. We had a fantastic trip and I would recommend both experience Africa safaris and tydon lodge to anyone thinking of going on safari.
Great experience
Great recommendations of lodge and itinerary. You really listened to our needs/requirements and delivered spot-on. We would definitely use Debbie and her team again.

Fun family holiday in Vic Falls
We had excellent service from start to finish. Everything was meticulously planned, clearly explained and ran smoothly. Our tour operator was even in cell phone contact for the duration of our trip in case we had any problems.

Great experience with Experience AFrica!
What an brilliant time we had in Zim!
Thank you Debbie for your great recommendations and attention to detail! Changa at Kariba was stylish but relaxed with fabulous accommodation, delicious food and that Kariba feel that we crave!
Antelope Park near Gweru was great for the kids - they were highly entertained by the guides - the elephant ride was a huge hit as was the snake induction. My Dad and I loved our special time Walking with the Lions and getting to photograph these amazing animals up close. Definitely a worthwhile holiday made all the easier by your great advice and organisation of all we needed!

Very helpfull and friendly, went well out there way to help and accomodate us in our booking.
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. They really made the booking a breeze for us. It was a trip that was planned late and almost called off due to the lack of knowledge of hotels and time I have for making bookings. Got given Debbie's number and told to phone. I am very glad that I did. She helped out in a timely fashion and in allot of detail, always open for questions. They went well out of there way to help finalise the booking which showed great dedication to provide a awesome service to there valued customers. I would and will recommend their services to others as I was very impressed. Thanks to their team.!!

Expert advice and planning
When arranging a holiday to a foreign country it helps to get a local expert's advice on what to do, where to stay, and what to see. Debbie was a invaluable resource when planning our trip, as we didn't have time to do everything, and didn't want to miss out on the "must see" activities. The sundowner cruise on the Zambezi was small, classy and intimate - thanks to Debbie. She also ensured that our trip ran smoothly, and there was always someone to meet us and take us to our next activity. No time was wasted planning while on our trip, or sorting out problems. Thanks for a wonderful experience!
An excellent holiday choice for Zimbabwe travel
I couldn’t recommend 'Experience Africa Safaris' more highly. This is an excellent tour company, that will organize trips to suit your interests and budget. They arranged superb accommodation, reliable car transfers, and connected me with a 'Natureways' canoeing trip to Mana Pools. Debbie from 'Experience Africa' prepared an action packed 2 week itinerary that resulted in a very enjoyable and diverse holiday.

Everything worked like clockwork and without hitch across two countries
We travelled as two families to various places in Zimbabwe and Botswana as part of our kids annual school mid-year holidays. We needed advice and a suggested plan within a reasonable budget to ensure we maximised what we could see in Zim. and Bots. with the time we had available. Experience Africa proposed an itinerary, lodges, rates and enabled everything to run so smoothly that all we had to do was show up, present our vouchers and decide on how best to spend our holiday time. Exactly what you want when on holiday! Thanks for a great trip and experiences we will not forget for some time!
