I asked for a safari location with elephants and that is exactly what I got. Fabulous.
All communication from Zambezi safari was easy to understand and fully comprehensive, the trip ran very smoothly and completely stress free.

3 days filled with expertly guided game viewing and perfect surroundings, exceeding my expectations.
We had unparalleled service setting up our diverse group. The service and people from the Imbabala lodge were just amazing. The location setting in the jungle was spectacular. Our game guide was amazingly knowledgeable and informative, guiding us from the moment we stepped off the plane, stopping at Victoria Falls for a great afternoon followed by an evening of watching elephants by the river. The food was well prepared, delicious and served in a beautiful setting. The grounds and accommodations were well-maintained and afforded views of wildlife while sitting on your veranda or in the bar. We saw a great diversity of game and birds including elephants giraffes zebras many varieties of antelope all within a few minutes of the base. The river cruise was great. With gracious touches all around.

Friendly, efficient service
Booking a wonderful vacation was made simple by the Zambezi Safari & Travel team. I was given a wide range of information and options to choose from, I told them what I wanted, and it was done. Upon arrival I found everything had been taken care of from transfers to safaris and day trips - all of which exceeded my expectations.

Very supportive and knowledgeable team
Zambezi Safari & Travel Co. Ltd was a great choice for us. They have listened to what we were looking for and came back to us with a great plan in short time, comprehensively explained, and later impeccably executed. At the sign of any questions or concerns, they were always ready to help. We had a great time in Zimbabwe - thanks to Zambezi Safari!

A safari that kept giving us a new highlight every day with varied animals and birds in abundance
This was our first Safari and it was a well thought out and planned safari tour to Zimbabwe, living in varied high quality accommodation.
Starting with a Zambezi river cruise at sunset, the following day taking in the Victoria Falls in the morning with a game drive in the afternoon encountering Black Rhino. Victoria Falls Hotel is worth a visit if only to be taken back a 100 years.
The Victoria Falls Safari Lodge has very spacious, five star accommodation, with a good quality restaurant overlooking a waterhole. The two small swimming pools are very refreshing and a great place for viewing the wildlife.
A few days at the Elephant Camp opened our eyes to the difficulties of conservation in Africa. Living in high quality, air conditioned tents with individual plunge pools. The food and service were excellent. A visit to the vets lab, meeting Judge Judy the vulture, was an eye opener to the Anti Poaching unit.
The Hide in Hwange National park, involved three game drives a day and well worth not missing any of them. All the guides are extremely knowledgeable, professional and can even spot a Python in a tree 100 yards away.
Nothing like having an outside shower with elephants and warthogs wandering past down to the waterhole.
Well organised sundowners in different locations, one catching lions with their cubs who then passed either side of the safari vehicle. The tents are great with the outside bath and shower, each with a viewing deck overlooking the waterhole. Good service, food and abundant drinks on tap.
Camp Amalinda in the Rhodes Matobo National Park is unique and very impressive. Each room is built into the granite rocks and are all very individually designed with mini-bars. Good sized infinity pool overlooking the park and granite outcrops. A great base for visiting the caves to view the ancient rock art and to visit the grave of Cecil Rhodes. We were led by Paul Hubbard, an enthusiastic raconteur, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the area, people and their politics, and who challenged the negative image of Cecil Rhodes. Having sundowners on the top of World's View with the setting sun giving glorious colours to the granite boulders, you could only reflect that a man who chose this site as his final resting place cannot be that bad!
On our final day, we spent the morning walking to find white Rhino and our guide, together with one of the local anti-poaching guards, took us with a few yards of them, including two of them mating. Our close encounter with a Mozambique Spitting Cobra in the en-suite was a highlight of sorts but quickly dealt with by the staff.
A excellent first safari with varied sights, game and birds in great accommodation with good food and service.
Well occupied and not a dull moment from start to finish.
Don't pack a novel as you wont need one, but pack a book of Southern African Birds.
You only need a fraction of the clothes you think you will need as laundry is often complimentary.
My only fear is you could get hooked on these safaris!

canopy tour and low river rafting
i know chris from longback and nostalgic return to zim, land of my birth. Booking and comms very good and could pay in UK with UK credit card which excludes the chaos of zim money . . . Vouchers per e mail and good comms in the falls and friendly efficient staff doing the tours. I am 56 now and rafting was great but a hike out of the gorge. Canopy tour was fantastic.
only hiccough was getting rafting and canopy video but chris helped to push this along from his side once i was back in zim and all arrived eventually - 4w later but no fault of zambezi.
service excellent and would recommend them, prompt courteous and efficient

A perfectly planned and executed trip.
We met representatives of Zambezi last year at a travel show and were impressed with their knowledge of the area and their willingness to tailor a trip to our needs. We dealt with Liz who was great to work with. She was flexible and responsive. We ended up with a trip that was exactly what we wanted. We had a safari at Chobe in Botswana which was a great introduction. We finished with 3 wonderful days on Safari at Thornybush. We had the same guide all 3 days and he was wonderful. The whole trip was great and we would highly recommend Liz and Zambezi. The trip exceeded our expectations.
