Great safari
They arranged a great safari for us in Chobe National park with Cape Fig safaris. All our pick ups, drops off and border crossings were very smooth with Africa zim and our safari was really great.

Disappointed with the Hwange Day Trip
I would not recommend the Hwange game-drive. It may be better at a different time of year or with a different guide. We did not mind the drive to Hwange from Victoria Falls. We had a very nice driver, but the guide that we had for the game drive was not very good and our vehicle was so noisy that we did not see much except for animals running away. All the animals that we did see were from a distance. It was suppose to be a full day game drive, but it basically ended at lunch time. At lunch time, we drove a long distance (at a very fast rate of speed over a very bumpy road) to the Kennedy Picnic Site. Once there we had lunch while fighting off the many bees and trying to keep them out of our drinks. After lunch, we got back in our game drive vehicle and headed out. We were thinking that we would be seeing more game, but again we drove a very long distance at a fast rate of speed and found ourselves back at the main camp and our game drive was over. Very disappointing.

Chobe river cruise/game drive.
My wife and I did the one day Chobe river cruise/ game drive. It was most enjoyable! Our driver, Blessings, picked us up from our hotel promptly from our hotel in Victoria Falls, and we saw African wildlife on our drive to Botswana. Culture, our boat captain, did an outstanding job in pointing out wildlife and gave us a lot of information about the game. The lunch buffet was delicious and was served at the Chobe Lodge. Captain, our driver on the game drive, gave us the opportunity to observe and learn about the elephants and hippos in their natural habitat. We would recommend this tours to others.

3 day Chobe safari
We had a great time in Chobe. Simon was a wonderful guide, very knowledgable, friendly and great at tracking the animals. The rest of the team were great as well, with wonderful food and accommodation, we were very well looked after.

Customized tour, offering maximum flexibility to adjust to daily needs
Customized tour, offering maximum flexibility to adjust to daily needs
Easy breezy from booking & arrival through to departure. We had a fantastic experience that was customized to fit our interests & changing needs. We booked a camping safari that took us from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, & Okavango Delta in Botswana. Our camp sites were comfy, with great food, nice accommodations, & near wildlife. Blessing was our guide & ensured that we had the best park guides who were most knowledgeable of local wildlife. Blessing introduced us to the peoples & cultures & we had many long conversations that gave us unique insights. He even introduced us to a rural family where he stopped to offer food & supplies. Some of the group wanted to upgrade to hotels & he accommodated them though at several sites. I highly recommend Africa Zim!
Our trip was great and we thought it was fantastic seeing the animals up close.
We did enjoy our stay, the accommodation was lovely and the food amazing. We would have liked to have been able to spend more time with our guide finding out about the local area.

Amazing camping experience in Chobe!
We went to the Chobe National Park for a 3 days/2 nights camping safari. Africa Zim Travel is working together with Kalahari Tours for this trip. The booking was done really quickly without any kind of trouble. The pick up from our hostel as well as crossing the Zimbabwe/Botswana border was well organized. The trip itself was one of the best tours I have ever been part of. In the park you will see lots of elephants, lions, zebras and other great wildlife for sure! Most of it even really up close. But the best part of our trip was our guide Charles from Kalahari Tours. He did an amazing job. He provided us all the information we were interested in, made sure we were at the right spot the right time and was funny. More importantly, he also cared for every single person of our group to ensure that he or she was happy. With him as a guide it was really easy for the group to have a great time together as a team. We were camping at a site with no other visitors there. There were no official bathrooms, but our cooking staff built up a bush toilet and a bucket shower which was wonderful to enjoy! The food prepared by Alan and Jacob was always great and our nights in the tents with mattress, sheet and pillow were really comfortable. Blessing from Zim Travel took care to organize everything for us and also did not hesitate to fulfill any extra wishes. We couldn't have picked a better tour operator.

Just wonderful and totally mindblowing
We had three day tour through the chobe national park and it was really awesome. They picked us up at our hostel in Vic Falls and get us through the Botswana border. The tour was perfectly organized and especially the guide was really friendly. I have done a lot of guided tours in different national Parks, but this one was definitely the best and I have never seen such a wonderful guide. The tour consists of two boat cruises, different game drives, delicious food, and sleeping at a nice camp site right in the bush. Furthermore the group consisted just of five persons and you never feel to be part of the mass tourism. We also had a lot of luck with the animals we have seen (hippos, a lot of lions, beautiful birds, countless elephants and some others).

Great 3-Day Safari through Chobe
We found the process of booking with Africa Zim easy and simple. All our questions were answered and the info was clear.
They picked us up promptly on day 1 and drove us to the Botswana border. From there, we met up with our our tour guide and had a wonderful three days of boat cruises down the Chobe River and game drives. We saw hippos, elephants, crocs, tons of antelope, leopard (!), lions, wild dogs, honey badgar, countless birds and some others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
It was non-participation camping, which was lovely. The food was delicious and much better than a previous safari trip.
I would highly recommend.
Just note that the actual tour is run through another operator, Khahlari Tours. But if you're coming from Vic Falls, Zim, then Africa Zim will set everything up for you and get you there.
