EXCELENT!
You don't just hire a game tour, actually you meet a very good friend, always able to guide you and share his large knowledge and experience, making your trip more than delightfully.
He takes duly care of every small detail, planned and unplanned: hotels, meals, transfers, tours, souvenirs, etc. etc.
I wish having the opportunity to get back very soon with relatives and friends and meet him again
120% recommended
Thanks Dany to you all all your Teammates!

our creator of a "once in a lifetime experience"
We booked a great safari with Daniel in the Lower Zambezi NP and in the South Luangwa NP - and that for 2020! Daniel put together a safari for us that exceeded our wildest dreams. And then Covid came and the shutdown in Zambia. Daniel also mastered this situation perfectly for us and we could make this awesome trip exactly one year later - as some of the few foreign tourists in Zambia. During our trip, Daniel was always available for us and organized also those things for us that are usually not required: transportation despite very late arrival in Zambia, Covid tests and much more. We can unreservedly recommend a trip with Zamsato. Daniel makes dreams come true !!

What an experience! Amazing
From the first contact with the Owner Daniel it was everything very smooth, even that I changed the dates maybe 5 times and I had speciall request that are not usual per such Safari Daniel made everything possible, we had great experience in Camp as in Lodge as well, he prepares every day and whole trip exactly as you want it. He is never in hurry, he prepares everything very gently. His knowledge of nature and history is really amazing. When I saw how many hours we spend in the car together I was thinking what would we chat about during transit, but his knowledge of the nature/history/politic made few hours drive like an hour..I appreciate all his effort very much, and definitely reccomend Daniel as your choice Number One for the Safari trip.

Excellent travel agency
Daniel is not only an operator but a friend.He always replys your request very quick and arranged everthing himself. He knows a lot about animals, especially birds.if you travel wih him, he will tell you a lot of stories of animals. During this 15-day trip, we drove from Livingstone Zambia to Nyika Nationl Park Malawi. The whole journey was more than 3,000 kilometers drive. It was a very hard job for Daniel, but he was happy to arrange all this for us. Thank you very much Daniel. Although I didn’t see the leopard this time in South Luangwa (because it was the rainy season), next time, when I come next time, I will still find Zamsato and plan a more interesting trip.

Excelent company: great staff and awesome tours for nature lovers
I had a great experience with Zamsato. The staff (Daniel and Tissah) are very friendly, professional and caring on their travelers. The tours themselves are also quite interesting and ideal for nature lovers. I took the whole Mosi-oa-Tunya day tour, which includes the Rhino Walk, the Victoria Falls from Zambia and the Zambezi navigation. I also took the Chobe NP tour. Great experience on both, they are for sure on the highlights of my trip. I heard very good comments from people who took with Zamsato the Kafue NP tour, which, if I had more time, I would have taken as well.
I fully recommend if you are travelling to Zambia.

Zamsato provided excellent touring and guiding of several National Parks in Zambia.
I traveled on one month road trip in Zambia, visiting several National Parks (NP). We focused primarily on Liuwa Plain NP, Kafue NP and South Luangwa NP. Our guide from Zamsato, Daniel, was superb driver, navigator, game-spotter, cook and organizer. Daniel is a Zambian resident and knows the country and its roads, wildlife, parks, lodges and campgrounds very well. He is respected as one of Zambia’s best overall guides and tour operators. Highly recommended.

Excelent Service!
Daniel (Zamsato) provided an excellent service. Helped me to plan my trip, tailored to my needs and preferences, provided pretty candid advice regarding options and activities, and he always provides immediate feedback to your questions. His choice of Croc Valley Camp in Southern Luangwa was excellent, and his advice on Rhino safari just perfect. Loved our trip to Zambia!
Thanks Daniel !

Active communication. They assured that we get everything we need for the family.
In mid-June 2018 our family - two adults and 9 and 8 years old children - joined the Chobe Overnight safari.
Booking and pre-safari arrangements worked fine and we got all the time relevant status information and guidance what to pack etc.
The journey started when Zamsato driver picked us from our hotel at the agreed time. He took us to border crossing, from where we continued across the river. At the other side another person were waiting for us and the drive with safari vehicle started.
We saw lion, leopard, elephant, hippo, giragge, etc. Just rhino and hyeena kept out of our eyesight. At Chobe you can see some animals almost all of the time - we had hardly any time just dricing around. Mid-June seemed to be good time to visit the park. Just notice, that night can be cold. Luckilyin the car we had blankets in our use.
We highly recommed to spend the night in the park. Dining table under the dark sky was great experience. Facilities (tents) were good and service excellent.

Had an amazing time!
After spending a while looking for a safari in Zambia, within our budget, we came across Zamsato Safaris and Daniel and what a wonderful time we had! Right from the start Daniel answered my many questions and came up with the best safari plan for us - the 4 day South Luangwa safari. Daniel picked us up in Lusaka and we drove to South Luangwa. After a fairly long drive, we were shocked by how awesome Croc Valley camp was, how close it was to the river and that the animals are free to roam through the camp. I don't think we could have stayed somewhere nicer, great pick Daniel! The early mornings were so worth it for the morning game drives with Boatu. All our meals were made by Jonathan and they were outstanding, thank you. I couldn't list all the animals we saw in South Luangwa but some highlights were the African wild dogs, African fish owl and lots of elephants and hippos! Having never been on a safari before we didn't know what to expect but thoroughly enjoyed the experience and appreciated Daniels wealth of knowledge. Not only does Daniel know an awful lot about wildlife, he also knows a lot about the communities and villages within Zambia which made for interesting discussions in the car. We enjoyed the trip so much that within 2 days of leaving Daniel in Livingstone, we had booked to go on his Chobe Day Trip tour! Daniel picked us up at our accommodation and helped us through the border control at Kazungula. Botswana is beautiful and even before we reached Chobe, we had seen several elephants at the side of the road! We went on a 3 hour Chobe river safari which was amazing. Being in a small boat we were able to get us close to the islands and river bank and be only a few meters away from the animals and birds which was incredible. We saw a whole range of bird species and got some cracking close up pictures of Kingfishers among others. We then had a buffet lunch at Chobe River Lodge and went out for an afternoon game drive.
Overall, my partner and I had a wonderful time on our 2 safaris with Zamsato and couldn't fault anything. Daniel your knowledge is incredible and hopefully we can tour again in the future. Thank you.
