Experience of a lifetime
5/5

We just completed a 9-day safari through Zimbabwe and Botswana, and I can confidently say this was one of the most meaningful trips I’ve ever taken largely thanks to our incredible guide, Stanford, and the team at Africa Zim.

This trip was especially important to me because it was my first time traveling abroad, and it had been a lifelong dream of mine to come to Africa and see lions in the wild. Stanford made that dream come true and then some. He was knowledgeable, patient, and completely dialed into what we wanted out of the experience. Every game drive, every stop, and every detail felt thoughtfully planned.

A huge thank you as well to Pamela and Sharon, who were fantastic to work with in planning and customizing our itinerary. One moment that really stood out was when we realized the salt pans we were originally going to visit were flooded. Instead of just sticking to the plan, Stanford coordinated with Pamela and Sharon to adjust our itinerary on the fly and move our second night from Elephant Sands to Planet Baobab so we could still experience the salt flats.

That change ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip. Planet Baobab was probably our favorite place we stayed, the atmosphere is incredible, and having a drink in a bar set inside a 2,000-year-old baobab tree is something I’ll never forget. Most importantly, we got to experience the Makgadikgadi Pans, which was a major goal of mine for the trip.

It really meant a lot that the team went out of their way to make that happen. That level of flexibility and care is rare and made the experience feel truly personal.

From the awe-inspiring power of Victoria Falls to the wildlife in Chobe National Park and the beauty of the Okavango Delta, every part of the trip delivered.

If you’re considering a safari, I can’t recommend Stanford and the entire Africa Zim Travel & Tours team highly enough. They don’t just run tours, they create unforgettable experiences and go above and beyond to make sure your trip is exactly what you hoped for.

AfricaZim delivered the trip of a lifetime
5/5

We did a 9 day trip thru Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana. It’s hard to pick any single thing because everyday was amazing in the sights, animals and accommodations. Some highlights were up close with the elephants at Elephant Sands, the meerkat experience and the 2000 year old trees at Planet Baobab, and the safari in Maun, and the animals sightings at Chobe River. Livingstone Island was also epic sitting in the waterfall a meter from the rushing falls. Stanford started excelled as our guide and became a dear friend during the trip. Sharon and Pamela were awesome at putting the trip together for us and finding amazing places for us to stay. Thank you AfricaZim for a really amazing experience and setting the hook for us to come back again.

Exceeded our wildest expectations for the trip of a lifetime
5/5

Pamela and Sharon from our office organized our trip and were very accommodating to updates the itinerary to make sure that I was able to give my dad the experience of a lifetime as it has always been a dream of his to go to Africa. They were able to deliver an action-packed itinerary that included Victoria Falls, Chobe, Okavango Delta and Salt Flats on an extremely reasonable budget, which was much appreciated.

Stanford, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived Stanford took care of us by being our knowledge guide, ensuring we were able to know what was upcoming and what we should do to prepare, and getting us from point A to point B. Stanford was truly the highlight of our trip, he made everything feel special for us. This includes a modification to our itinerary due to whether where Stanford was able to coordinate us getting into a new (really awesome) hotel (Planet Baobab) so I could seize the salt flats, which were flooded on the other side that were originally planning to go to. Stanford worked with the office team (Pamela and Sharon) to make this happen and it was so so appreciated! Planet Baobab ended up being our favorite hotel. They have a bar in a 2,000 year old baobab tree. How cool is that?

Anyhow, I cannot recommend this operator and their team (Stanford + Pamela/Sharon) enough

An unforgettable trip to Zimbabwe Vic falls and Botswana
5/5

African Zim handled the part of Victoria falls and Botswana in my South African holiday. They are very efficient with communication and all the pick up and transfers, especially my tour guide Blessing. He is knowledgable about the area and wildlife and he made sure i had a wonderful time. Definitely would recommend.

Excellent, reliable highquality provider
5/5

I booked the 5-Day Best of Sossusvlei & Swakopmund from Windhoek tour for my parents through SafariBookings with Africa Zim Travel & Tours, and it exceeded all expectations.

From the very first contact, communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. Every detail was well organized — airport transfers, accommodation, meals, and daily logistics ran seamlessly, which is exactly what you want when booking a trip.

The itinerary was perfectly balanced:
• Sossusvlei was an absolute highlight — breathtaking dunes, well-timed excursions, and excellent guiding
• Swakopmund offered a great contrast with comfort, ocean views, and relaxed exploration
• Accommodations (Sossusvlei Lodge and Strand Hotel Swakopmund) were high quality, comfortable, and ideally located
• Meals were consistently good and well planned

The guides and drivers were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. My parents felt safe, well looked after, and never rushed — something they appreciated greatly. The vehicle was comfortable, and the long drives were handled smoothly with good pacing and stops.

Lovely friendly local company, trip ticked all the boxes!
5/5

VIC FALLS TO OKAVANGO.. Pamela in reservations responded to our many emails quickly and with all the details, information & advice we needed. The trip was planned perfectly and we were very surprised by the standard of the accommodation, everything was perfect and covered all the things we wanted to see. We found it really good value for money and had our own private driver (another Pamela) who had everything in hand with collection times, tickets, tours & game drives all running smoothly. We had a WhatsApp group set up to keep us updated and was very helpful with questions etc. it was an amazing fun tour and would definitely use Africa Zim again. Thank you for a very memorable holiday to Zimbabwe & Botswana.
