Review about Victoria Falls by Bill Snypes
We were in Victoria Falls at the end of the dry season, and the falls were low, but still very impressive. Victoria Falls in a town, so there is not that much wildlife walking around. However, one evening returning from the Zambezi River, near the town, we encountered a group of elephants eating vegetation by the road. The wildlife is not very far away anywhere in Zambia.
A rugged place with beautiful rivers.
My wife and I went in November at the beginning of the rainy season. The weather was generally good, and not too hot. We saw a good number of animals, but with the coming rains they were often staying in the forest more. However, we did see cheetahs, lions, giraffes, hippos and a variety of birds. They come down to the river more during the dry season.
The river camp we were in was in a beautiful spot, with permanent tents and an open covered common area. The staff was very accommodating and the food was good. The guides tried very hard to find the animals for us to see, but they were scarce at times. We also cruised on the Kafue River and some people went fishing. The river was pristine and quite beautiful.

They made our honeymoon experience feel like heaven on earth
My wife and I have always wanted to visit Nairobi Kenya and so after our wedding we decided to go there for our honeymoon. Initially, we didn't wanna go for a Safari since we thought we couldn't afford but then we visited the offices of Surf Africa Tours to look for alternative hotel accommodation. As we were waiting to be served, we over heard a price quote for a gentlemen who had a son called Daniel and immediately my wife jumped on it and sure enough we got a very reasonable price for a complete Safari which included a tour from Nairobi - Masai mara- Naivasha- Nakuru and back to Nairobi. We had a blast through out, they were professional. knowledgeable and fun people to be around. Some parts of the roads were a little rough but the drive was extremely good and careful. We would like to come back and use tem again and again. Thank you Surf Africa Tours, you rock...:)

Simply the best choice we made on a Safari
We made the best choice ever: Surf Africa Tours was highly recommended by our friend (Frances) who used them in March, 2015 and what a wonderful time my 6 years old son and me had. The choice of accomodations has been excellent, nice cars, safe driving, great care to satisfy our desires and reasonable price.
We strongly reccomend especially for a safari with children and probably will be back someday to see other areas.
Amazing experience, true african felling
Our guide was very helpful and cooperative, when we were planning the trip. We were traveling with small children, so we needed to make some adjustment. We still saw the big five and we even did not go to Serengeti. Everything went according to plan and there were no additional costs as the one agreed at the beginning.
Good experience
I went for the budget camping 4d/3n safari in Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Right from the start Richard was very good and quick in replying emails. He was friendly, answered all my questions, provided my transport from and to the airport before and after the safari. The safari itself as very good. Frank, our driver guide knew what he was doing and what he was looking for. We saw all the big 5 and so much more. However, the safari would be better if he would give further information about the animals and safari during the long drives. He would answer your questions so you have to be pro-active in asking questions. If not, the safari would be a lot of looking around. Our cook, Sokafour was really nice, he cooked really good and bountiful food for us. In terms of equipment for camping, it was a budget camping so everything was basic. But you get what you paid for. I was quite satisfied with the equipment provided. All in all I thought it was a good experience and I was very satisfied with my first safari experience.
Review about Lower Zambezi National Park by Achim
Not easy to reach and a real wilderness along the Zambezi River.
Review about North Luangwa National Park by Achim
A great park with shy animals, little infrastructe and very few tourists. The most remote national park with pure wilderness feeling. 4WD absolutely necessary.
