Superb African Experience with Afric'Aventure, great personal service, 'sur mesure'
We booked a 2 days & 2 nights safari in Selous, Lake Manze camp, and then 3 nights at the Zanzibar (Matemwe) Sunshine hotel. From start to finish the service by Afric'Aventure was great. We booked quite late, and still Afric'Aventure managed to arrange and adapt the trips to our wishes. We recommend Afric'Aventure for their personal and friendly approach, quick response and excellent quality in the companies they work with.
The Lake Manze camp in Selous is a top location with elephants, giraffes, impala's, bushbaby's, hippo's everywhere around. Their service and food are also great! The approach is very professional and communication is very clear. We will remember the group dinner outside with the camp fires, the luxurious tents, the very professional safari guides and drivers, who really try (and succeed) to deliver the best experience possible: lunch at the lake (15 meters away from the hippo's), an extra tour to a group of lions who jus caught a wildebeest / gnoe, a swim in a hot water source. We also recommend the boat safari, which gives you an experience from another perspective then by safari car!
From the landing in Zanzibar up to the flight back, all went perfect: the welcome at the airport by our guide for Stonetown Godefrey (or 'G') and at the hotel (by the lovely Anastacia) were perfect. We were upgraded to the honeymoon suite in this small scale hotel and spent 3 perfect days there: their food and service is excellent, they offer a lot of activities and the beach is beautiful.
We'll start saving for the next trip!

Excellent from first contact until end.
Really good communication (via mail) with Axel from our first request. Guided by Allen, we went to Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Apart from having knowledge about the animals, being a good driver and communicator, Allen is a very nice guy. It was a pleasure spending the five days with him. We were two adults and four teenage kids on the safari.

Excellent experience
The safari trips to Maasai Mara and Amboselli that Bernard took us were simply amazing experiences. The itinerary was carefully planned and the drivers of the 4WD vans are actual tour guides who are extremely knowledgeable about everything - animals, birds, geography, culture, language, politics, etc of Kenya and beyond. We saw everything that we wished to see and more. The personal touch and thoughfulness of Bernard and his tour guides really makes this a highly pleasant and memorable experience.

Incredible experience!
From start to finish this was an incredible experience. We did a 4 day fly in fly out safari in Selous Game Reserve staying at Selous Kinga Lodge. We booked it only a couple days in advance while staying on Zanzibar - Fadhili was very efficient in communicating with us, answering questions, and organising everything for us. The game drives in Selous Game Reserve were amazing. We saw all the animals in Selous except for the very elusive leopard - but we were more than happy with our Safari experience. Our driver Jumani was awesome - funny, very knowledgeable, and he focused on trying to find specific animals if we hadn't seen them yet. Kinga Lodge itself is great. The cottage rooms are very nice, the meals are restaraunt standard, and all the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Also the lodge manager Vincent is THE MAN!!! He even took time out of his day to take us to see the local village and tell us all about it, which was a very humbling experience. We wish we could have stayed longer in Selous. Definitely recommend Selous Kinga Lodge.

We could not have ask for a better tour operator than Africa Zim Travel. So organised
Everything was done perfectly. Blessing was in contact the whole time and we shifted our dates so many times and he still helped us. We had a wonderful time and experience. We did the 9days camping tour from the Vic Falls to Maun in Botswana. The whole trip was excellent. We had a good time with our tour guide Fungai very clued up and helpful. Our highlight was Elephant sands sitting at the camp fire and looking at the elephants drinking water. I will refer everyone to Africa Zim Travel they did match all our expectations and more.

Review about Savuti by Lawrence and Julie
A very large space to cover which is great for the animals. We saw a pride of lions feeding on a wildebeest here. Definitely a place to have your binoculars at the ready. Lots to see.
Review about Okavango Delta by Lawrence and Julie
This was the first part of our trip and was perhaps the best start we could have asked for. The tranquil trip down the delta was very soothing and relaxing. We camped out overnight and experienced the beautiful night sky and morning views. Sunset and sunrise on the delta are memories I will never forget.
Review about Chobe National Park by Lawrence and Julie
Chobe is more of a longer stretch of land with more open spaces.
