A trip of a lifetime
Our family just came back from the most incredible trip we have ever taken. We did a 9 night Safari in South Luangwa National park which we arranged with Liz. The planning started about 9 months before and having never been to Africa, Liz answered all our questions and arrange for us a trip we will never forget. Everything was so well organized from the moment we got off the plane until we left. When we arrived in Lusaka someone was right there waiting for us guiding us through customs, helping with our luggage, and getting us off on the next plane. This was really wonderful after a long flight, not to have to figure all this out on our own. When we landed in Mfuwe again they were right there waiting for us. Liz arranged per our request for massages at the Mfuwe lodge Spa on our first day (fantastic idea after the longest travel day ever). Liz also arrange for us a visit to the local school. These are just some of the little extras that were arranged. The Mfuwe lodge and the 2 bushcamps we stayed in, Kapamba & Bilimungwe were fantastic. The area is rich with wildlife. We saw, heard, and learn so much on this trip. Looking for a Real African Safari experience, this is it!!! Lions, leopards, Elephants, Hippos, Hyaena's, impala's, giraffes, many more living free as nature is meant to be. Plus some of the most beautiful birds we have ever seen.
Zambia is a special place and feel very fortunate to have experienced a safari of this kind. The guides are extremely knowledgeable, the food is excellent, the staff is both warm and friendly while extremely professional and Zambezi Safari is a fantastic company to put it all together.
Before we left we thought this would be our one and only trip to Africa. After this experience we will be returning and definitely be using Zambezi Safari & Travel Company! Highly recommend them.
Thank you Liz! You planned a perfect trip for our family.

Holiday of a lifetime and fantastic service
From start to finish Mark was incredibly accommodating, even to our ever changing dates and ideas. Zambezi Safaris were extremely knowledgable and put together a perfect itinerary across Botswana and Zimbabwe. They have a real passion and in depth understanding of the safaris and camps they offer. The online itinerary they provide is really useful and user friendly, giving you personalised notes on each camp and the route you will follow. The camps and concessions were picked perfectly to suit our desires and the trip was incredibly well planned and organised. We cannot wait for our next Zambezi safari.

Great customer service and very helpful and knowledgeable staff, both in the UK and Africa.
They are a very knowledgeable company and they use only the best ground handling agents in Africa. When timings or flights change, as they often do in Africa, Zambezi have always been on top of the situation with making alternative arrangements.
We will always return to them for our future trips to Africa.

Well organized and exciting.
I went both to an safari island in Kariba lake and a walking safari in a reserve. Everything was organized perfectly, pickups, departures etc. Everyone one was helpful, friendly and professional. The experiences were both relaxing and exciting, and walking in the bush is a much more vivid than perhaps that in a vehicle.

Holiday to remember!
Booking the holiday was very easy as our agent was brilliant and delivered exactly what we asked for! VSFL was amazing with stunning views all round. The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We had guided tours with guides who had great knowledge of the area, which was very helpful. The lodge over looks a watering hole which serves a variety of animals and don't miss the vulture-feeding at 1pm. It was an interesting experience!
The food at the Ma Kuwa Kuwa, was exceptional, whilst The Boma restaurant was a unique dining experience. Anyone who visits Victoria Falls should take the opportunity to immerse themselves in the experience. It serves authentic traditional meals along with western dishes that are exquisite - along with music, dancing, and traditional attire.
The rooms were lovely and the view from our room was stunning! We would sit and watch the wildlife from our balcony. The whole experience was fabulous and is definitely one I would recommend to anyone. We certainly had a lovely time.

Great Recommendations and Communications
Contacted Chris Worden not knowing he is an agent for Zambezi Safari (found him on tripadvisor and had a question for him about Vic Falls and area). I was impressed with his communication skills and timely
replies. Learning that he is a guide and safari consultant, we decided to use his services and had a great time in Zimbabwe with his recommendations and bookings of transportation and camps. He greeted us on our first day and visited us on our last for morning coffee, which we enjoyed. Wouldn't hesitate to use Chris' services again.

Fabulous from start to finish.
Zambezi Safari & Travel Co was recommended to me by a dear friend who had experienced an amazing holiday herself in Zambia. She is deaf and has a severe visual impairment but Zambezi organised such a wonderful holiday for her with some very special memories. We are a family of 4 with two teenage girls and safari first-timers. As soon as I spoke to Fi Thompson, the Kenya specialist, I knew that she would find us the perfect safari experience. We talked at length about what we wanted from the holiday and she recommended 3 different locations each offering totally different experiences. Having grown up in Kenya, Fi knew so much about the different areas and camps available and when we had finally made our decision to go ahead she even called one of the camp owners at his home to secure the booking. She always responded promptly to all my queries, any time of the day and I really felt in safe hands. When the troubles in Kenya started to affect some holiday areas, Fi was so reassuring but suggested changing our route home slightly so that we didn't go via Mombassa. During the holiday, every pick-up, flight and transfer went so smoothly and we really felt valued by the wonderful people in Kenya for realising that the majority of Kenya is no-where near any problems or incidents and that it really is safe to travel there. We have some amazing photos and stories to share and I really can't thank Fi and Zambezi enough for making it all happen.

Great service and itinerary.
Right from my first email with Liz, I knew we were in good hands. This was our first visit to Africa and we didn't really know where to go or how things worked. Liz walked us through the many questions and concerns we had. She took care of everything. We spent 4 nights at The Hide in Hwange. Can't wait to get back to this 5 star camp! In addition we stayed at the Vic Falls Hotel which was also lovely.
zambezi Safaria And Travel is a most professional company and if we are lucky enough to return to Zimbabwe we will Definetely use them again.
