Great service, good detail
Joseph was super patient and communicative with us in setting up the trip. I need to emphasize the patient part because I asked a lot of questions and had a lot of specific needs I wanted! He took it all in stride. He also gave some advice about what things to consider and was spot on. Our experience was amazing- transfer were smooth, timely. We had them book an airport pick up, sunset cruise, overnight Hwange adventure, and then transport to our next destination. The only thing that didn't go quite as planned was the night drive- but I do not think this was the company's fault. There was some equipment issues perhaps from the contracted driver that took us. I recommend to ask about that if you are interested b/c it wasn't the best. The contracted day safari guide- Desire was so great as well- hopefully they will keep using him. Our transfer driver Mango was also excellent. All of them were great to talk to and very friendly and funny. Would book with them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Excellent trip
My family and i went to the HwangeNational Park during our vacation to Zimbabwe. We were picked up at our hotel by a very courteous driver and safely driven to the park 2hrs away. The accommodations at Hwange was good and the safari tours was very nice. In the park there was lots of elephants, giraffes and birds. Too bad we didn't get to see any cats but that's the way it is sometimes. Over all I would recommend using the folks at African Coast Tours to help with your vacation. Great job guys!!!

A Wonderful Experince
Joesph became our friend, who is very nice, kind, helpful, and all the good things. I cannot believe me and my husband had such a great time. Joesph took very good care of both of us so we don’t have to worry about a thing but just to enjoy the trip we all had planned out! Joesph is very professional which made our journey extra ordinary! We definitely will go back again and explore more.

Wonderful tour
We booked a December 2017 4 day Victoria Falls and Chobe tour with African Coast Travel and Tours. Everything about our experience was great! Joseph communicated well and took care of all the arrangements which made it easy for us. Our guide Frank and our guide in Botswana were informative and ensured we had a great experience.
The sunset cruise on the Zambezi River was marvelous and was a great start to our trip. We stayed at Victoria Falls Safari Lodge and enjoyed watching the animals at the waterhole as well as the vulture culture experience. Everyone was so friendly. We hated to leave!
I would recommend African Coast Travel and Tours

Well plannd tour to Kruger and Panorama route
African Coast Travel & Tours did a great job in Planning 3 days of Safari in Krüger National Park and a road trip to scenic Highlights nearby. During our 3 Safari trips, we managed to see the big five and also man other animals. The booked lodge was comfy and the food provided was very delicious. The transfer from Johannesburg as well as the trip to the dights near Kruger was always kind, flexible and informative.

Poorly organised, poor communications which only improve near the end of tour.
Bad start to tour. Pickup came about 30mins late for pickup from CPT airport. No assurance about daily tour itinerary and dinner reservations. I had to asked every tour leaders lookalike at the door of my hotel to find my allocated tour. Went for prepaid dinner but restaurant rejected us for no reservation or info on our dinner after travelling a great distance to the restaurant in a foreign land. Everyday, we had to be on our toes to find our allocated tours searching the hall of the hotel and every hotels we stayed we had to make sure all meal and tour reservations were in order without knowing the time and location of meetup! I had to called the outsourced travel agency after I finally figured out who they were myself from the reception to arrange myself the time and place. At times, even this travel agent was unsure of my paid itineraries which further added on to our already messy and poorly arranged tour. Tour only improved at JNB with a dedicated tour leader in charge of us with clearer instructions. Overall, really bad start with so much fear and uncertainty that really ruin our holiday.

Posted on Dec 9, 2017Dear Max
Thank you for your review and highlighting your comments for your South African tour, and we really appreciate your review and we will try our level best to have a private guide in Cape town, as the usual company we engaged let us down, though we had our hands on in Johannesburg hence the change in service delivery there after, we will definitely change our Cape town ways of operation and in future we will be hands on to avoid a similar situation, and we really appreciate your reviews and we apologies for the hick cups caused for your holiday.
Yours faithfully
Joseph Moyo
Operation manager.

Fantastic trip
First of all, I just want to emphasize how nice Joseph and Lucy Moyo were. Joseph promptly answered my numerous questions that I had for him as we were arranging the trip. They were punctual for all the pickups and dropoffs associated with the airport, hotel, the falls, the Boma dinner, and the game safari. They were very helpful.
Secondly, the hotel (Victoria Falls Hotel) is great. We loved the complimentary breakfast. Huge selection of good quality food. We really did not make full use of the hotel, as we were too busy. The game safari at The Hide surpassed our expectations. The food was excellent, the accommodations comfortable and the staff was friendly and very helpful. Our guide, Chris, got us up close and personal with Jericho the lion and many many elephants and cape buffalo. He was very informative and had a great sense of humor.
What an experience

26 Days in Southern Africa
We had a very complex itinerary, with 13 different hotels and 6 flights in 5 different countries and it all unfolded perfectly. Joseph Moyo himself guided us through Zambia, Zimbabwe and Namibia. He was an excellent guide and a very kind and friendly individual, ensuring that our trip was as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend him and his company
