We received outstanding, personalized highly recommended service!
I selected this company based on online reviews. From the beginning Archie answered every question and issue without delay and to the best of his understanding. Our companion, guide and driver Muza went above and beyond to make our trip safe, comfortable, memorable, and truly a trip of a lifetime. Knowing that we were vegetarian he made sure that every meal was to our liking! I would highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to explore beautiful Africa!

Amazing trip to Africa
I would definitely recommend booking with Africa Uncovered Safaris.
Archie, was very kind and helpful during all the process of planning and booking.
The safari tours that they offered were excellent choices with very nice tour guides and drivers. I always felt safe.
Muza, my guide and driver was always attentive to my needs. He is a very reliable guide, helped us to obtain Zimbabwe´s visa faster than any other tour guide, everyone knows him, and that proved to be very helpful.
Accommodations were excellent as well as the food provided along the 14 days tour at Namibia, Botswana and Victoria´s Falls.
Their destinations have a great variety of activities to experience across several locations.
Can´t wait to travel with them again.

A perfect week
Very kindly driver and reliable organization quickly answering any question.
Food good and even very good when buffets for breakfast or dinner.
Good balance between car drives, boating or walks through bush.
Very good accomodations (may be one a little less than the others).
Unbeleived places and landscapes (Chobe, Okavango, pans where you are like on the moon, close to elephants in Elephant sands)

Delivers on lots of animals especially elephants
We saw lots of animals on the trip, including lions and a leopard thanks to game drives especially in Chobe area. Also our guide Musa made border crossings much easier and quicker for us than for other travelers we met.
We traveled from Livingstone to Vic Falls in Zimbabwe and then into Botswana on seven day safari and back to Vic Falls. Lots of time traveling in car and game drive vehicles often over very bumpy dirt roads especially to Okevango Delta. Bush toilets on the long drives. Resort hotels and meals were very good and arranged seamlessly. Trip required many early mornings with more than daughter expected. Focus is on animals but would have enjoyed more background on countries, history and culture in Africa.

Recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris
This is a well-organised and excellent itinerary to deep dive Botswana and Victoria Fall. I traveled to Zimbabwe by myself at the end of Aug and this trip went far beyond my expectations. I spent nine days exploring the Victoria Fall, Okavango Delta, Chobe Natinal Park and Elephant Sands. This was the first time I did safari in Africa and saw packs of lions, elephants, Hippo and even lepard, which is rarely to be found even in Botswana! My accommodations and meals were fabulous and the staff at each safari camp went above and beyond to give me a memorable experience.
Archie provide detailed and well-designed planning before the trip. He was quick to respond and was willing to answer questions. I also want to recognize Tafara's effort to smooth and enrich the whloe trip. He redesigned my schedule in Victoria Fall to accommodate every activities since my flight was delayed, helped with the visa issue at custom of Botswana and selected the best guide for my Safari. He was exceptionally nice and helpful. I will be recommending Archie/Tafara to anybody who is interested in exploring Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Africa Uncovered was great to work with and very accommodating with modifications to our trip!
I traveled to Zimbabwe with a friend of mine from work at the end of July. Working with Africa Uncovered made the experience run smoothly and helped us have an amazing time, getting to do all that we wanted in our short one week trip. Tafara was our guide and quickly became a friend along the way. He took us to all the great places (both touristy and local) in Victoria Falls while throwing in lots of history and facts about the area. Our time was full of great conversation. I learned so much!!
Archie was great to work with before the trip during the planning process. He was quick to respond and was willing to answer questions related to parts of our trip not directly related with the Africa Uncovered portion. We needed to add some extra accommodation and a one day safari to match with our flight plans and there was no issue at all making those changes. They took care of it! Thank you Archie and Tafara for an amazing trip. I hope to go back to Africa and would use their company again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Times in Africa
Our safari started in Victoria Falls when Musa picked us up and introduced himself as our tour guide and driver. Musa was amazing and I can't speak highly enough of his knowledge, care of us and his sense of humour. Having our own personal guide and being able to negotiate our activities was wonderful, albeit we took part in all the activities he had planned anyway. However, when we needed to purchase something he always took us safely to the best place. Our trips in the car between lodges and hotels was so informative as he had a wealth of knowledge about Zimbabwe, the people and also was knowledgeable about other African countries.
The animal safaris in Chobe and Hwange were everything we had imagined and more. Our accommodation was comfortable and varied, ranging from lodges to a safari tent. The food offered at all places was simple, but delicious.
The activities planned outside of safari rides were enjoyable and informative - Dinner cruise on the Zambesi River, afternoon cruise on the Chobe River, visiting the Painted Dogs Information Centre, Elephant Shopping Area, Victoria Falls and visiting a subsistence farm.
Africa Uncovered are to be congratulated for providing such a great experience.

Amazing experience
Our safari to Botswana and Victoria Falls was very well organised. Our guide, Tafara, picked us from the airport in Kasane, adapting to our request to start from there. Throughout the whole trip, he really cared for us and our experience, eager to walk an extra mile. Every attraction was as described and better! We particularly liked the salt pans and the Chobe river cruise & rides! In the Okavango delta, we could experience the nature from close, thanks to professional guides, who also built a camp for us and preapared meals. We felt very safe, while staying overnight in the bush and admiring African starry sky. In the elephant sands, we could spend our time with those magnificent animals and went to yet another successful game drive. Than, Victoria Falls were a cherry on the cake - the view was just spectacular.
Africa Uncovered let us experience the bush from various perspectives: from the rivers, game drives and walks, you can also see it from the air in Maun. The acomodation and food were always good, people around always highly professional, reliable and very friendly. Unforgettable experience!

Nome was very eager and willing to help.
Africa Uncovered Safaris does a great job if setting you up with transportation, lodges, and of course game drives as well as other sight-seeing programs. But what I truly appreciated about them beyond all of this was the fact that the operators and guides they choose for you (Nome and Ronnie in my case) are amazing with helping you whenever you need it. Nome, for example, would always check in on me to make sure I was ready to go at the right time. And he always asked if I needed anything or if there was anything wrong, to let him know. Ronnie was very good with taking me wherever I needed to go, and he was very knowledgeable about the places where he took me. They were both great people that helped lead me through this program, and that, I believe, is the specialty of Africa Uncovered Safaris.

Small group expert
We were picked up from the Vic Falls Airport by Tafara and his young understudy Norman and taken to our accommodation. That night they took us to a local Restaurant and we had some traditional African food. They also arranged for a Helicopter flight over the falls for the next day and a sunset cruise on the river Next daywe did a Vic Falls walk. Take wet weather gear as you will get wet. They also arranged for the BOMA dinner for our last evening, as they said you need to-book in advance They next days we traveled to Botswana and we were looked after well. We also had a couple of days on the delta and camped over with the Elephants
