5/5

Pick up and delivery to remote airports were excellent. Nsandile lodge was great. Guides were brilliant. We saw wild dogs the first day, close up and saw 5 leopards, including one eating an impala it had just caught. Brilliant.

Reliable, Flexible, Trustworthy
5/5

I booked a 12-day tour with Zamsato Tours and have only good things to say about the company, its founder/guide Daniel and assistant Gift.

I was to travel in July, but due to delays in obtaining a visa I had to postpone my trip by a month and Daniel was very kind in accommodating the changes. Daniel also allowed me to make changes to the tour schedule while on the tour, which I've never heard of with any other tour operator.

I got good value for my money and had a very thorough and enjoyable visit of Zambia.

You won't go wrong with these guys.

Exceptional tour operator! Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and personalized service.
5/5

We booked a 10-day custom Zambia tour with Zamsato for 4 people - two adults and two seniors.

We would highly recommend Zamsato. So glad we decided to go with them after initially approaching a few different tour operators.

Right from the very beginning, we were impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail displayed by Daniel and his team. While planning the trip, they were able to provide many alternatives and patiently recommend options based on our needs so we were able to plan the perfect custom itinerary.

Zamsato organized all the transportation, activities and accommodation, including massages with the lodge as per our request as well as a special birthday surprise. Everything was expertly taken care of. On the second day of the tour, Tissah came to meet us at the lodge in Livingstone and made sure we were comfortable and even recommended and arranged transportation to a local restaurant.

On the final day of the tour we had a very unique request to drive around a small town called Kabwe, around 3 hours from Lusaka. Daniel picked us up at our hotel and drove us there, patiently exploring all the sites with us and drove us back in the evening. We stopped at Fig Tree Cafe on the way back for lunch, a delightful spot, with great food and some local craft shops.
Daniel kept us entertained with interesting stories about life in Zambia so the long drives went by quickly. He took extra care of my elderly parents, buying a step-stool for my Mom from a street-side store for ease of getting into the vehicle and some newspapers for my Dad to read. After dropping us at the hotel, Daniel even arranged for a taxi for the airport transfer, to save on hotel shuttle costs.
We could easily see how Daniel made his clients feel welcome, safe and comfortable.

Overall a wonderful experience and a great team to work with for a special trip.

Wonderful tour, excellent operator!
5/5

Daniel is very good at replying swiftly with a lot of helpful information. Once I told him my interests and availabilities he readily put together a schedule that perfectly reflected what I wanted to do. He was always available for additional help and gave quite a few very valuable tips.

Once I got to Zambia, he was also my guide and showed extensive knowledge of the country, its people and its flora and fauna. He would catch even the most hidden of animals and be able to tell you a lot about them. Additionally, he took great care of his guests regarding food and accommodation and noticeably put a great effort toward making sure everybody would leave happy. I would do a tour with him again without thinking twice and warmly recommend him!

Very knowledgeable and showed a great love for Zambia and its environment!
5/5

Daniel arranged a tour for me after I gave him my dates and budget and an idea of what I'd like to see in Zambia. He responded quickly with a full itinerary and after that he always responded quickly to any queries I had before the trip. Overall, I had about 8 days visiting Victoria Falls, Lusaka and South Luangwa. It was all very well organised and Daniel knew so much about the country and the places we passed through. The highlight was definitely the time in South Luangwa with its fascinating wildlife. Daniel's knowledge here was incredible too and a real bonus. He seemed to know the names, habitats and behaviours of every bird or animal we saw, no matter how obscure!

The tour was excellent and the accommodation provided was of a good standard - clean, comfortable but also nicely African in style. Daniel was very flexible and accommodating while on tour. I'd definitely book again!

Excellent safari to Kafue NP with Daniel from Zamsato
5/5

I booked a 4-night camping safari to Kafue NP through Zamsato starting in Livingstone and ending in Lusaka. Daniel, the owner of Zamsato tours, was also my driver and guide during the safari tour.
It was very easy to communicate with him through emails before the tour to discuss all details of the tour. During the tour he was an excellent guide who knew a lot about flora and fauna of the park so I was able to learn a lot about the nature in this part of the world. Additionaly, he is also a great cook - as I booked a camping tour we prepared our own meals in the camps, from scratch and with fresh ingredients. It was a great experience sleeping in a tent and listening to the voices of nocturnal Africa. I would definitely recommend Zamsato and I also plan to book them again when I am back to Zambia.

Family in the Bush
5/5

This was the highlight of our Zambia Safari The wildlife sightings in the park were spectacular. We came to Zambia to see Leapords and we were not disappointed. The accomadations were cozy and the food was phenomenal. The owners victoria and David were gracious and a pleasure to know. Dinners were spent with the hosts and we had a feeling of being with family. What they have given back to the local community is commendable. It is always uplifting to br with people of high character. The guides were knowledgable and a pleasure to be with.

The time at camp is unforgetable and I hope to return sooner than later. This was a memory I will cherish.

Experienced and Professional local tour operator in Zambia
5/5

Daniel put together an extremely well organized tour which exactly met our requirements. He has obviously built up a network of experienced, reliable and friendly contacts to support him. Highlight of our trip was canoeing down the lower Zambesi - getting up close to the crocs, hippos and elephants.
