Great Operator
We had a great safari, it was perfect, everything was on time, a great lodge (The Castle).
Our friendly guide Godlove has a lot of knowledge and our daughters (14/15) were thrilled.
Very friendly staff at the lodge and very good communication with the operator.
Highly recommended.
The price/performance ratio was right.

Great safari in Zimbabwe and Botswana!
We were a group of three travelers who chose Zambezi Exp for our shared safari to Zimbabwe and Botswana. Overall, we had a positive experience with the company. We were always in touch with Silence from the office, who was always ready to respond to our questions and needs during the trip. Our driver, Francis, was extremely friendly and willing to help us with all our needs.
The major problem we experienced was the lack of details in the program provided by the company. It was a mutual mistake, as we didn't ask for more details prior to the trip, and their program was very general. I would recommend adding more details so that travelers know exactly what they will do during the safari, as many activities and meals were not included in the total price or were not clear (for example, the experience in the bush).
Despite that, the team organized last-minute activities for us that were not included in our package, and we enjoyed all the safaris. The guides were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and parks. The accommodations were perfect for our needs and corresponded to what we had paid for. We did have some dietary misunderstandings with some accommodations and a lack of options (the three of us are vegan), but overall, we had access to plant-based options. This needs to be addressed better.
As for the activities, we really loved the quieter safari and wildlife-watching experiences and enjoyed them more than the "sundowners," which were more crowded and loud. I'd rather have those as optional activities and include birdwatching and other safaris as part of the paid program.
I highly recommend the company promote the use of refillable water bottles and water jugs instead of single-use plastic bottles, as plastic waste is a major concern.
Despite these points that need to be addressed by the company, I recommend Zambezi Exp for their promptness and kindness in assisting us. I hope to see you guys on another adventure!

Caring and Inspiring Hiking Crew
We enjoyed every minute of our amazing trip from the slopes of Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater! The hike was hard and we would never have made it to the top without the kindness and assistance of the amazing crew members. Guides are highly qualified and knowledgeable, cooks are amazing and globally the whole team is caring and stimulating. We appreciated all the nice gestures they thought of.
We also hired Hekima for our 2-day safari after the hike: organization was great and the hotel that were selected were amazing with a special mention for Melia Ngorongoro.
We highly recommend this TO should you decide to climb Kill and doing safaris.

Our guide Omar made this trip amazing!
We had a fantastic safari for a week with our magic guide Omar who really made everything possible to make this vacation unforgettable. We have been traveling with our 9 years old kid who immediately enjoyed the trip as we started spotting 4 leopards on our first morning! Omar really pleased us making every our wish become reality and he has been working super hard in helping us to spot as many animals as possible as we mentioned since day 1 that we are simply in love with wild animals ! We also learned a lot from him from a cultural perspective and we also visited a Masai village. It was a great experience which we recommend to all especially if you are traveling with kids.

Very prompt and clear in communication
Great expertise with Nature travel Namibia - we booked our Kruger trip with them. Nadine was really helpful and prompt, whenever needed; and catered to our need considering we had a 5 year old kid with us.

Amazing trip
This is an amazing trip . My guide, Derrick, treats me like my bro. I'm not good at English, but he will let me know in various ways. I also saw gorilla and all kinds of animals in the trip. The five-day journey went very fast. I think I will miss Derrick and Uganda

A breathtaking, educational, and wildly fun adventure!
Dume Africa and Henry (our guide) were wonderful to work with on our safari vacation to Kenya and Uganda. Henry's unceasing knowledge of the wildlife we encountered added unexpected depth to our experience. His willingness to accommodate our more intricate needs and requests was similarly unwavering, and allowed all of us, regardless of physical ability, to enjoy Kenya. Beyond this, Henry was always in good spirits, whether it be a joke, a fun fact, or a compliment, he made sure every moment in Kenya was memorable. Please use Dume Africa if you are thinking about visiting Eastern Africa, you really can't do better.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience
I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Amazing Memories. From the very beginning, Nevill worked with us to tailor our safari to our budget and was very courteous and professional throughout the whole process, ensuring we got everything delivered exactly as we signed up for. Our safari guide Kim is one of a kind! He was very flexible, patient, informative and knowledgeable about the terrain, wildlife and kenyan culture and history. He is truly good at what he does and I hope many more families get the opportunity to go on safari with him. We experienced such a variety of wildlife over vast Maasai Mara terrain and the Mara river…from big cats, giraffes, hippos, elephants, hyenas and crocodiles to massive hoards of wildebeests to amazing bird species and so much more. Kim also took us on a couple cultural experiences with the Maasai people and tours of Lake Naivasha and the like. This was an experience of a lifetime and I can’t wait to do it again with Amazing Memories!
