Fantastic Botswana Safari with Zambezi - supportive, local and organised way to experience Botswana
Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours absolutely exceeded our expectations for a 10-day camping trip in Botswana and we would not hesitate to recommend them to other travellers looking for an authentic, supportive and organised tour provider in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia or Namibia.
As a group of 3, we had expected to be rolled in to other larger groups, but we ended up largely on private experiences with a generous and supportive crew who set up camp, cooked delicious food and drove us safely through all manner of terrain and incredible animal encounters. As Zambezi is a Zimbabwean company, they partnered with local Botswanan providers throughout the country to give us the best possible experience while supporting the local economy. This meant we had local experts for each different Park/area with one central coordinator transferring us between locations and informing us of the next steps. It was great to be able to meet a range of local community members in this way and learn in detail about the different areas which all offer unique experiences and sights.
We had also tailored the budget 10-day camping trip to our preferences, with Zambezi offering great expertise for what would be possible in the time and how to achieve the goals of our trip - I can safely say we would not have had even half of the amazing experiences we did had we tried to organise it ourselves!
Francis was an excellent guide and driver who offered interesting and enjoyable company as well as expertise on all sorts of elements of animals, the environment and life in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Nothing was too much trouble for all of Zambezi, with Oscar and Silence expertly coordinating and supporting the trip from afar. For example, on our first day there was an issue with a safari boat (a separate operator to Zambezi) and Oscar immediately set us up with a new experience the next day to make sure we didn't miss out. This kind of support and excellent service was greatly appreciated and extended throughout the whole trip.
We hope to visit the area again and will absolutely be reaching back out to Zambezi for our next adventure! Thank you Oscar, Francis, Silence and the team again for all of your work!

Excellent Guide - African Safari Adventure
I recently had the privilege of exploring the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha with Mohammed as our guide. I must say, Mohammed was absolutely fantastic! His extensive knowledge of the region's flora and fauna was impressive, and he shared his insights with us in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand.
His pleasing personality and warm demeanor made our safari experience even more enjoyable. He was always willing to answer our questions, offer recommendations, and ensure our safety throughout the trip.
Thanks to Mohammed, we had an unforgettable adventure in Africa. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha. Five stars isn't enough - I'd give him ten stars if I could!

Eco Safaris was outstanding with every detail on my trip!
I have dreamed of going to Africa and seeing the mountain gorillas my whole life and Eco Adventure Safaris made my dream come true! Everything about my trip was amazing from working with Michelle who helped me design my trip to my guide Abdallah who made sure everyday was better than the next. From my accommodations to the treks to see chimpanzees, golden monkeys and the dream of seeing gorillas, everything was above and beyond my expectations. Eco Adventures is a company I can't wait to travel with again. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and taken care of everyday through all my experiences. Abdallah was the best of the best guide, making sure every detail was taken care of and answering all of my endless questions. My highest recommendation for Eco Adventures!

Enthusiastic. He was really open to take us to many places. Gave us so much opportunity to see a lot
This was one of the most wonderful experience of my life. I got to see many breathtaking sights. We got to see many animals up close. They were all healthy and in their natural habitats. We were able to observe them and see then very well. 10/10 would recommend.

Safari & Zanzibar
All of us were overwhelmed …. by the diversity and number of wildlife (frankly speaking after the first day in Tarangiere my statement was I have seen more wildlife than I have expected to see the entire safari). All of the parks - Tarangiere, Ngorongoro and Serengeti were unique and so beautiful in its self.
This was true for wildlife and also for the vegetation, plants, etc….. The nature walks we took were great.
The ballon safari was an extraordinary event …. going up in sunrise, watch wildlife from above, the photos they provided, the amazing breakfast and our super pilot Derek Gray.
No words for it …. how much we learnt out there on Safari.
Great places to stay in beautiful Lodges, Camp Sites within a great surrounding, great bathrrooms/beds , delicious food and overwhelming friendly and open people from the staff.
Having said the above the most overwhelming „ingredient“ which makes the Safari, learning about Tanzania, the people, the culture that unforgettable experience for us was Abraham. His empathy, his knowledge, this taking care offs, his interest in us his social responsibility (spare food we handed over to Masai kids) this was simply mindblowing.
In Zanzibar we enjoyed the beach life, listen to the waves hitting the beach sleeping just 30m away from it in our apartments. The resort was great location, Appartements, food and the entire staff.
Thank you for that unforgettable experience.

Excellent Services
Had a great 5-day trip in Uganda to Murchison Falls NP, Queen Elizabeth NP and Ziwa rhino sanctuary. Support from the office was clear and helpful. Ken, our guide, was excellent and looked after us very well. Both parks were very good and we saw a great range of wildlife. Accommodation at Pakuba and Elephant Hab lodges was very good. Food was tasty and plentiful. I would definitely recommend Elephant Whispers Safaris.
