A company that provided exactly what I wanted, let me tweak things and provided an excellent guide
Having struggled to find a UK based company that did more than take people to Victoria Falls through Google I found Exec Travel, based in Victoria Falls. My first email was responded to quickly by their reservations consultant, Manuel. I would be travelling on my own, and having learned what I was after Manuel suggested their 9 day Zimbabwe Tour which covered all I wanted to do. I asked to add another day in Bulawayo (Railway Museum a must !) and some extra activities in Victoria Falls - I also wanted to start in Harare rather than Victoria Falls. These requests were added to the tour. I was happy. I kept in contact with Manuel throughout the process, sending the odd email every now and then. He always replied positively and conversationally rather than just 'office speak' type responses. As it got near to departure Manuel told me that he was going to leave the office and be my driver/guide. I was very pleased as we had got to know each other as much as you can over email. He met me in the arrival hall at Harare Airport and the road trip began. We clicked from day 1. The trip unfolded as expected, Zimbabwe proving to be as wonderful as I had hoped. However Manuel made the trip that much better. We got on so well, nothing was too much for him, he often did that little bit extra. We shared our life stories, we laughed, we suffered the 'difficult' road conditions together and the icing on the cake was in the evenings, as a solo traveller, rather than me eating alone he ate dinner with me, allowing us to laugh some more. The vehicle we used had WIFI, a welcome if unexpected surprise. The hotels were very good, the local guides used were of the highest quality. Was it value for money ? I have little to base an answer on ! I was happy with the cost of I wouldn't have gone ! Would I go back to Zimbabwe ? In a heartbeat. Would I use Exec Africa Travel again/recommend them to others ? Undoubtedly !

The operator (Castro) was knowledgeable, competent, polite and very friendly.
During the 2 days spent at the Masai Mara National reserve and with the help of our operator (Castro) we managed to see all the Big 5 and the ugly 5 multiple times as well as seeing multiple other rare animals and an unique scene where an lion dragged it’s recently killed prey. Moreover in the Naiwasa Lake we saw multiple black and white rhinos and an otter due to our operators keen eye and patience. The operators driving skills where exceptional making us feel safe and getting us to our destinations quickly during the 4 day trip. Finally, the food and accommodations were adequate and quite unique.

Great last minute tour!
We had an amazing experience with Axis Africa from start to finish. This was actually a last-minute trip that we booked only one week in advance, but Lucy handled everything incredibly quickly and smoothly. She was responsive, organized, and managed to put the whole trip together without any stress.
Our guide, Jumbe, was fantastic. He was professional, knowledgeable, fun to be around, and an excellent driver and game driver. He knew the parks extremely well and always seemed to know where to go and when to be patient. Having someone who genuinely enjoys what he does made the safari even more enjoyable.
Everything was well organized, from the transfers and accommodations to the game drives, and we always felt well taken care of. The whole trip felt effortless, allowing us to simply enjoy the wildlife and scenery.
A big thank you to Lucy, Jumbe, and the entire Axis Africa team for making this such a memorable trip. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Africa, and I would happily travel with them again! 🐘🦁🦒

An unforgettable safari with an exceptional and knowledgeable guide
Our safari with Perfect Safaris Africa was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was well organized, communication was excellent, and the service was beyond our expectations.
Our driver and guide, Castro, was the highlight of the entire experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, patient and cooperative. He knew the parks extremely well and always seemed to know exactly where to go and where to look for the animals. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see every animal we were hoping for, including some truly unforgettable sightings.

Enjoyable Safari
We were on a 3day safari, stayed at Nakupenda for 2 nights. This is one of the best safaris we ever experienced, tour consultant James and driver Davis were both professional and friendly, this Serengeti safari leave us with wonderful memories. We do recommend this company.
PS we had terrible experience in Kenya, our money was stolen, I believe that the tour company Peak Season Africa Safaris organized the theft where I left a review for it.
