Reviews
Always available, responsive and flexible to all our requests
Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was very responsive from the start by sending us a plan and estimate based on our specific requests and adjusted it as per our desires even during the trip. Their feedback and response to our questions and requests were always timely and positive. Almost all accommodations reserved (except for one that was basic) were amazing. Although they are based in Zimbabwe, they efficiently arranged our trip section in Botswana with their partner agencies based there.

Superb!!!
Zambezi Expedition Travel & Tours did an outstanding job overall! We booked an 8-day trip that included Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Everything was arranged smoothly and professionally. When we encountered unforeseen circumstances, such as delayed flights and bad weather, they were very flexible. Mr. Oscar and Ms. Silence made sure that everything was rescheduled so we wouldn’t miss any of our preferred activities. Mr. Oscar (I believe he is the boss) even went out of his way to accompany us during the busiest day of our trip.
As it was our first time visiting the continent (2 females), we were so he grateful to have booked with them, as they made it an unforgettable experience. We felt well taken care of from start to finish and felt safe throughout our journey.
I highly recommend Zambezi Expedition Travel & Tours and wish them continued success!

Great tour- good value for money
The tour is great and covers interesting places. It is well organised. Silence and Oscar were very helpful and available for any questions we had. We also booked few extra activities before and during our stay, which was easily organised. Our driver Francis was polite and friendly. We were on a budget tour and we liked the campsites at Victoria falls, Elephants Sands and Okavango delta basic bush camp. The opportunity for improvements would be to choose nicer camp near Chobe.
During safari in Chobe se saw a lot of animals, highlight was elephants crossing the river. Safari in Okavango delta was special, far away from civilisations, the campsite was very nice and the cooks prepared delicious food. Walking safari is also special experience. We think this tour provides excellent value for money for visiting Victoria falls, Chobe and Okavango delta.

Friendly and polite
Good organisation, value for money with however last minute change of hotels upon arrival (one of which with downgrading). In addition be aware of a 3% card service fee in case you don’t have cash with you…

Flexible operator committed to providing an enjoyable experience for the guests
I wanted to see Victoria Falls and was advised that, if I do that, I must not miss the Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta. I found the popular 8-Day From Vic Falls to Okavango Delta Camping Tour on SafariBookings which ticked all the boxes for me. The only disappointment was that it was not available on my dates and I had no option to be flexible. Luckily the operator was able to arrange for this to become a private instead of a group tour at a very reasonable extra cost.
I very much enjoyed all the locations and activities. This tour is a great value for money for people like me who don't need a lot of comfort and prefer to spend on activities instead. Oscar from Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was always available on WhatsApp for any questions, replying fast no matter the time of the day, both before and during the tour. I highly recommend his company.

Well organized tour, very good communication, helpful team behind.
While we contacted companies, Zambezi expeditions seemed better priced than others, and we got a lot help to understand about the entire plan and tour right from the beginning. Everything was very smooth during the booking process, we were staying in touch practically until we arrived to Vic Falls airport. We had flexibility to add additional activities which also helped a lot to make it a really good holiday.

Professional and accommodating
The tour was amazing. It was a great experience for us. We started in Victoria Falls, then went to Chobe national park, Elephant Sands, Makgadikgadi Salt Pan, and the Okavango Delta. The last part (Okavango) was a little bit disappointing because we didn't see as many animals as expected. But obviously this doesn't depend on the tour operator!
Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was easy to work with. They were very accommodating to meet our wishes and modify an existing tour. They always replied in a timely manner, as well.
My only small criticism would be that communication could have been better during the tour itself, with more daily information. For example, several times we didn't know at what time we will start the next day.
Overall, they provided a great service and this tour will stay in our memory for a very long time. I would strongly recommend Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours to someone who would like to discover the beautiful Zimbabwe/Botswana region.

Fantastic Botswana Safari with Zambezi - supportive, local and organised way to experience Botswana
Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours absolutely exceeded our expectations for a 10-day camping trip in Botswana and we would not hesitate to recommend them to other travellers looking for an authentic, supportive and organised tour provider in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia or Namibia.
As a group of 3, we had expected to be rolled in to other larger groups, but we ended up largely on private experiences with a generous and supportive crew who set up camp, cooked delicious food and drove us safely through all manner of terrain and incredible animal encounters. As Zambezi is a Zimbabwean company, they partnered with local Botswanan providers throughout the country to give us the best possible experience while supporting the local economy. This meant we had local experts for each different Park/area with one central coordinator transferring us between locations and informing us of the next steps. It was great to be able to meet a range of local community members in this way and learn in detail about the different areas which all offer unique experiences and sights.
We had also tailored the budget 10-day camping trip to our preferences, with Zambezi offering great expertise for what would be possible in the time and how to achieve the goals of our trip - I can safely say we would not have had even half of the amazing experiences we did had we tried to organise it ourselves!
Francis was an excellent guide and driver who offered interesting and enjoyable company as well as expertise on all sorts of elements of animals, the environment and life in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Nothing was too much trouble for all of Zambezi, with Oscar and Silence expertly coordinating and supporting the trip from afar. For example, on our first day there was an issue with a safari boat (a separate operator to Zambezi) and Oscar immediately set us up with a new experience the next day to make sure we didn't miss out. This kind of support and excellent service was greatly appreciated and extended throughout the whole trip.
We hope to visit the area again and will absolutely be reaching back out to Zambezi for our next adventure! Thank you Oscar, Francis, Silence and the team again for all of your work!

Willing to go above and beyond!
We had an absolutely incredible safari! Zambezi went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. For the price especially, this is a wonderful safari with every inclusion necessary. We truly feel that we made the most of our time on safari and had the opportunity to engage in every activity we wanted. Oscar was an amazing camp director taking us on Mokoro rides and game walks (we truly felt like we were living among the animals!), Khumo was a wonderful game driver taking us to see two packs of lions (20 total!,) Silence and Oscar did a wonderful job helping us arrange activities (especially in Zimbabwe where we went to Devil’s Pool and did a helicopter ride. Each of our requests were met. The food and activities were wonderful and we could not recommend this tour more!
