Visits to Huangi National Park, Chobe and Vic Falls
We have visited many places throughout the world - Africa Zim Travels are everything you would want. Comments are consistently outstanding because quite simply they go out of their way to make things work. Blessing is a star. The whole experience was special from the moment we met Blessing at the Airport. From Meals, Safari Game Drives, to River Cruises. This endorsement comes with total confidence that you will not need to search for any other tour operator. Africa Zim Tours and Blessing thank you for making our visit to your country so special.
Fantastic 3 day 2 night camping safari in Chobe
We would absolutely recommend Africa Zim if you're coming to Vic Falls and are looking for things to do and want to hop over to Botswana for a safari! We booked fairly last minute (2 weeks notice) and they were very accommodating and booked our safari with their Botswana sister company Kalahari Tours. They thought of everything for us (we took them up on their very reasonable airport transfers) and they always responded in less than 24hrs. Pretty and Harrison met us at the airport and also arranged for us to do the bungee jump (took us to the border, booked it for us, and handled all paperwork. When it came to the safari, Blessing drove us to and from the border and walked us through immigration and customs. Our safari guide Sinka picked us up from there and we were on our way to the river cruise. David and Isaac were our river guides and were extremely professional and knowledgeable. Camping and the safaris were incredible and totally as described (although be prepared to only bring one small bag to camp, we missed that memo). Can't thank Africa Zim enough, we loved it.

Perfect Victoria Falls/Chobe Adventure
My sister, father, and I just returned from a trip with Africa Zim Travel and Tours and we cannot say enough good things about this company! We did a couple of days in Victoria Falls as well as four days camping in Chobe National Park. Blessing was helpful from the moment we emailed for a quote. He was very responsive to our questions and was very easy to work with. We saw so many animals in Chobe and Victoria Falls was more impressive than I ever imagined (just make sure you bring your poncho!) Blessing and Africa Zim did an excellent job with the itinerary and were able to tailor things to fit into our short timeline. Things ran smoothly from beginning to end and we felt very safe. Do not hesitate to visit Africa and book with Africa Zim!

A wonderful guide for a worry free, once in a lifetime adventure.
It's hard to put such an amazing trip into one review. I took a nine day trip with Blessing from Africa Zim. We started in Victoria Falls, went to Kasane, Elephant Sands near Nata, and ended in Maun. To get to each location Blessing drove us safely there, stopping to look at anything I wanted to see. Upon arrival at each destination there it was a relief that he had done all the booking and I didn't have to worry. There was always a comfy bed to sleep in and a preplanned activity like a game drive, river cruise, canoe trip, etc. All I had to do was show up when it was time to start. As a young woman traveling alone, having Blessing was essential. He knew the areas and many people we met. He stayed close and was helpful, but I felt complete freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted. I never felt suffocated but always safe. When I wanted to do something off schedule, like go to tribal beauty pageant or look for the perfect souvenir in town, he was always accommodating, positive, and facilitated it. I could have done without the talk of religion and youtube prophets, but I guess it isn't too surprising in a country that still has blasphemy laws. I especially loved that Blessing was aware of my budget and suggested amazing activities that I would love. When someone would recommend an excursion completely out of my price range he was quick to kindly let me know before I got my heart set. I could see how a millionaire or budget traveler could get the most out of their trip with Africa Zim behind it.

Everything worked like clockwork. Staff very friendly and extremely helpful.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Zim Travel. We were looked after very well and felt like we were with friends.
Apart from getting drenched at the Falls, which was our own fault for not taking advice, we enjoyed the trip and found Zim Travel very accommodating and lived up to expectations. Thanks again for making our holiday enjoyable.

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to Maun, Botswana (8 days)
Blessing delivered a complete service from the booking process (including answering many of my questions and honoring many itinerary/date change requests in a prompt manner) to guiding us for the entire trip.
The trip included highlights such as a transfer from Across the border in Livingstone, entry to Victoria Falls and a sunset cruise, African dinner at The Boma, Chobe National Park including games drives & boat safari, and a wilderness camp in the Okavango Delta.
Accommodation and meals were of a high standard, and the transport, driven by Blessing, was very comfortable and safe.
We felt privileged to be able to spend time with Blessing. He made our experience the trip of a lifetime. We would highly recommend Blessing and Africa Zim Tours to anyone.

Dinner cruise, Chobe day trip and Elephant ride / Night Game Drive
We had a wonderful 3 days of activities in Vic Falls! Blessing was an excellent source of information, from ATM questions to dinner recommendations. The sunset dinner cruise was an excellent way to relax after a long day of travel, an intimate dinner versus being part of a larger group. The day trip to Chobe was also an excellent choice. Bring a backup battery or extra camera because you will take lots of pictures. We saw tons of wildlife on this trip. The elephant ride was fun but shorter than I expected. The night game drive proved to be least number animal sightings, but all was forgiven when we saw the new baby rhino! The campfire dinner was also well done. On both the Chobe day trip and the night game drive, drinks and snacks were provided so you only had to bring any personal items you needed.

Fantastic time in Zimbabwe thanks to Africa Zim Travel & Tours!
From our arrival at the Vic Falls airport until taken back to the airport, we were taken care of very well by Africa Zim. Very hard to pick a favorite event, but we thoroughly enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise with just the four traveling in our group. Perfect evening. The safari tours were excellent as well. The Chobe National Park river safari was incredible. We saw so many animals and I came home with hundreds of pictures! The guides are very knowledgeable and informative to the group. Definitely recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours to anyone.

Flexible and nimble staff
We requested Africa-Zim to organize a tour for us to Vic Falls and a visit to Chobe park in Botswana. We gave them 3 days to complete arrangements, and we began the trip at the end of the 3rd day. It was a moderately priced trip and we got excellent value for money. We had an afternoon to see Vic Falls then went onto Chobe park where we had 1 night at Water Lily lodge (4 star) in Kasane, 2 nights camping in a tent in Chobe, with the elephants and lions nearby, and 2 nights back in Kasane at Toro lodge (3 star). Our connections throughout were all done well and the people at each place knew Blessing quite well. I give this team 5 stars for their resourcefulness and good services.
