Exceptional to the dot, made sure we had the best experience
Given the short notice of planning ASM developed a comprehensive itinerary that made our stay and travel one of the best holiday to date. Pick up and drop off were on time and the knowledge shared was very valuable. I highly recommend their service

I felt safe & secure with 100% reliable Arthur
I am a female solo traveller and this was my first trip to Africa. I felt rather nervous and anxious about a few issues:
- I found ASM Travel and Arthur on the Internet: I didn't know Arthur from Adam! Is he reliable? Is my money safe with him?
- I was nervous and anxious about being in Africa
However, I've wanted to experience Africa for many years so went ahead with my booking with Arthur/ASM Travel.
I need not have been concerned at all. Arthur couldn't have made me feel more safe and secure from the moment he met me at the airport. He was at Victoria Fall Airport waiting for me with my name on a placard. The transfer to the hotel (Nkosi Lodge) went smoothly and I was there in no time, chatting happily with Arthur during the drive as he made me feel relaxed. I confess to feeling a huge sense of relief! Remember ... I was a female solo traveller!
The punctuality and reliabity above was the standard throughout my nine days and eight nights of my booking with ASM Travel. Where pick up was using an external agency, ie, a company that operates an activity, Arthur always checked that I would be picked up and kept me informed of the progress of the transport, even at 6am in the morning!
THE TOUR ITSELF
During the booking of the tour, Arthur was helpful and patient in helping me decide the range of activities I could engage in for what I wanted to experience in Africa: I wanted to enjoy myself of course but I also wanted to learn as much as I can about the country and its people. What was also important for me was to have life enriching experiences. I am so pleased to be able to say that I did achieve my objectives.
- There were exciting activities such as doing the CANOPY TOUR and going into DEVIL'S POOL! I enjoyed these thoroughly.
- Arthur arranged a visit to an orphanage and took me there personally. The visit made me feel humbled and was certainly life enriching.
- A visit to a Traditional African Village, Mukuni Village, gave me perspectives of the 'Real Africa'. I saw and experienced how traditonal Africans still live: their dwellings and way of life. I had opportunities to intearact with the people in the village. I can probably say I 'felt Africa' duing this visit.
- A three night stay at The Ivory Safari Lodge in the Hwange National Park with safaris in the morning and evening: on one occasion the evening safari turned into a night safari. The safaris were pure magic and such a privilege to be able to see a big range of wildlife, including birds, in 'their environment'. it was pure magic, especially the evening/night safari: a sundowner followed by a drive through the bush in the dark under the clear star lit sky, and with no civilisation in sight.
- The sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi River with the stunning and beautiful sunset, and glimpses of hippos in the water were simply a great experience.
- Dinner at the Dusty Road Restaurant is also highly recommended. Traditonal African food is served to the accompaniment of a live band playing the most relaxing African music in the most beautiful and unique setting.
- An evening safari in the Stanley Game Reserve 'hunting' rhinos was fruitful. This was followed by a dinner that served traditional African food. And such a delight to have unlimited beverages included!
IN SUMMARY:
The tour represented good value for money. Arthur was 100% reliable and highly attentive. He made me feel safe and secure as a female solo traveller. Nothing was too much trouble and he went out of his way to ensure that I was having a good time, and felt safe. He designed an itinerary, including accommodation, to suit my objectives and my budget.
He comes highly recommended from me and I can confidently say that you will not be disappointed.
