Wonderful to Experience the Real Africa
5/5

How fortunate that I found Africa Zim Travel early this year when looking for a Botswana, Vic Falls Safari. We booked their budget safari, mostly camping and an excellent value. Not realizing how hot it would in Oct., we upgraded to an air conditioned lodge room a couple of times with no problem. The tour company is great, totally flexible as to start date and what you do along the way. We needed to accommodate several peoples' schedule for this trip and being able to choose our own start date was invaluable.

Service was excellent. Follow up and communications during planning was good.

My favorite site on the tour was Elephant Sands, an elephant oasis in the middle of a very dry area, hope the rains start soon!

The best part has been our wonderful tour guide, Blessing, giving us a chance to know a black African, learning about his life, family, his country of Zimbabwe plus many aspects of African culture. Almost all of our guides for game viewing have been local people, who bring their rich knowledge of the land and animals along with a great sense of humor. We visited a traditional village and have experienced some of the real Africa, not just another fancy resort.

Highly recommend Africa Zim Travel.

Everything worked like clockwork. Staff very friendly and extremely helpful.
5/5

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)
5/5

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.

Fantastic time in Zimbabwe thanks to Africa Zim Travel & Tours!
5/5

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.

Excellent!!
5/5

We had a wonderful experience with Africa Zim!! Our guide Pam S. excellent! She was organized, had great recommendations and was easy to talk to throughout the trip. We did the 8 day tour starting in Victoria Falls and ending in Maun / Okavango Delta. The falls were beautiful and we saw a lot of animals including elephants, giraffes, zebra, hippos and lions. We really liked the different types of safari tours (drive, boat & walk). The boat tour in Chobe ended up being our favorite it was a good way to see animals close. The accommodations were all very nice. Pam was flexible if we needed to stop along the way and helped us add an extra tour. Thank you Africa Zim and Pam S.!!

Pamela is an amazing hard working organiser always contactable and Cosmas our guide and driver best
5/5

It is amazing to spend time at least 3 - 4 days in Victoria Falls . We enjoyed the bridge walk , high tea at elegant Victoria Falls Hotel , helicopter ride over the falls is sensational . Of course walk for 2 hours around the Falls is an amazing experience , do not forget your raincoat , we did not mind getting wet by the fresh sprinkles from the mighty falls . Lastly make sure have lunch at Lookout Cafe & Boma dinner . We were lucky to have Pamela from Zim Travels to arrange our itenary . And am glad she appointed Cosmas as our driver and guide who made sure everything went well . His knowledge is very good and he too managed to show us a tower of zirraffes and kudus on the way to Botswana .
We spent 3 days in Chobe again the itenary was amazing . We did 2 morning game drives , one afternoon game drive and one safari from Chobe River Cruise . All views at sunrise and sunset was spectacular . Furthermore to see all the animals and birds in nature was amazing . We were lucky to see so many animals and birds . The rangers were very professional all out to please.

In summary we had great experience with Pamela from Zim Travels and will consider her for our next adventure in Africa .

Good coordination
5/5

We took the 5 day Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park tour. It involved crossing into Botswana from Zimbabwe by road . Switching cars was done smoothly across the boarders. Our initial lodge wasn't available and Africa Zim compensated with a great alternative. Thank you for helping us have a memorable holiday ❤

5/5

Absolutely Beautiful tour spanning over two countries - Zimbabwe and Botswana. We went as a family of 3 and everything was absolutely breathtaking. The planning was done perfectly, and we managed to see many animals over the course of this trip. We were also vegetarian and it was so easy to get food according to our dietary requirements. Got to see so many animals including Giraffes, Ostriches, Elephants, Hippos, Zebras and Lions. The tour also accommodates for optional activities that you would like to do.
