Reviews
Africa Zim Travel and Tours were helpful and pleasant to work with and we felt taken care of.
We are an extended family of 6 people (with children and seniors) travelling in Zimbabwe and Botswana and chose Africa Zim Travel & Tours for our first African experience. They were prompt in responding to our requests and when we changed the date of travel, they were very accommodating. We felt taken care on our tour. The accommodations and food were as expected based on the package we chose, which was the 8 day tour with Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and then Botswana. One thing that could be improved upon was that our transfer person became ill with a cold and didn't take precautions, therefore one of our family members missed a day's excursion because of having caught the cold, and was not well for a few days after that. The transfer person was very friendly, helpful and prompt, as were all the game drive people. We enjoyed our experience and would choose this company again.

Well informed, very personable, easy to get along with
Stanford was my guide and I was very happy with him, and spending time with him.
Bayete Lodge was nice for the first night, as was the river cruise, but the Boma dinner was not a highlight for me. Very touristy, food was poor. I had upset stomach for next 3 days. It would have been enough to just do the cruise and eat dinner back at Bayete.
Hwange.
I have some questions/issues with how this was planned.
1. Why did we drive a sedan from Vic Falls to the hotel for 2 1/2 hours over some atrocious roads? Why not a 4x4? Safety was definitely a concern.
2. Why did Stanford drive me to Hwange lodge but then not be my driver/guide? He basically stayed there for 5 nights while I went on game drives and relaxed by the hotel. We saw each other sporadically but only because I think he felt like he needed to check in on me.
3. Why did you not put me on a transport bus instead? Did I pay for Stanford's food and lodging for those 5 days?
4. I very much liked the Hwange Lodge hotel but it's 30 minutes outside the main gate of Hwange, gates only open at 6am and close by pm.
5. Bheki - the guide/driver working for Hwange Lodge was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable and funny.

friendly organizer, everything well organized
Our guide was very friendly and helpful. On our tour I thought it was a shame that we had to pay the entrance fee to the Vic Falls because the tour already had a high price (but this was described in the document) The safari was very nice. we were able to take enough time to observe the animals. Overall, the tour was incredibly beautiful.

Friendly
It was a beautiful Time.
I liked the Victoria Falls alot.
I had already been on a safari before where I saw more animals.
That's why I would leave this out next time.
The service and the food were always nice and delicious.
I think the price is too expensive for the whole tour, especially since not everything is paid for. (Entry for the V.Falls)

Visit of Victoria Falls
The guide we had was very helpful and showed us the most important views of the falls. Since we could not walk all the way we had to miss a view viewpoints but we saw the most important ones.

Africa Zim travel were very attentive and hands on taking over when a major uk company let us down.
Blessing and Pamela treated us like friends making our arrangements before and during our stay and providing transport themselves. Most of our communication was by email, which was usually answered very quickly. They exceeded our expectations.
We organised the main element of our trip with African Horse Safaris at Macatoo in the Okavango Delta, who were excellent. Our stay on the Chobe River was interesting.The driven safari there was more like a crowded trip through a commercial game park but the River Cruises were excellent and a wonderful relaxed way to get close to the game. Blessings booked us into Phezulu lodge for our stay at Victoria Falls, which was like a small modern motel with its own pool and bar and suited us for the end of our trip.

Day trip to Chobe National Park
Exploring the Chobe river was great and our captain was wonderful We saw lots of wild life. Lunch was excellent and also the safari drive was excellent.
Transportation (from the border to the Chobe National park) was just OK can be improved and probably would have been better to stop for cofee in a location where bathrooms were available.
Altogether great experience!
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.

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.
