Fantastic 3 day 2 night camping safari in Chobe
5/5

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
5/5

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.
5/5

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.

Dinner cruise, Chobe day trip and Elephant ride / Night Game Drive
5/5

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.

Flexible and nimble staff
4/5

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.

8 days from Maun to Vic Falls
4/5

We booked a tour of 8 days, from Maun to Vic Falls. Blessing was very friendly, more a driver and organizer than a true tourist guide. He arranged all excursions, obviously with a profit percentage for him, but it's his job. He can arrange your suitable tour but you must have to tell him what is your program.
I can suggest to contact him if you have a clear idea about your trip.

Family safari in zimbabwe and botswana
5/5

We booked a safari with Blessing who was also our driver. He answered all questions promptly before the trip and met us at the airport. He guided us through formalities and drove us to Hwange and Chobe. It was stress-free and we had a fantastic time. Our children are young (7 to 11) but Blessing ensured that we had nothing to worry about. I recommend Africa Zim Travel& Tours and Blessing and would love to book another safari with them. Xavier
