We took part in a customized 14-day tour through Zimbabwe and Botswana, covering some of the most remarkable natural areas in Southern Africa: Hwange National Park, Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, the Makgadikgadi Pans, the Okavango Delta, and Matobo National Park.
The itinerary was well designed and allowed us to experience very diverse environments, from the vast savannas of Hwange to the spectacular Victoria Falls, and the unique landscapes of the Okavango Delta and the Makgadikgadi salt pans. Among all the destinations we visited, Hwange National Park probably offered the most rewarding wildlife sightings, with an impressive abundance of animals.
I particularly appreciated the variety of experiences included: game drives, boat excursions, guided walks, and the opportunity to observe very different ecosystems. Elephant Sands is an interesting and unusual stop; however, during our stay, there were only a few elephants near the lodge. Most likely, the time of year was not ideal for witnessing the large concentrations of animals the area is known for.
Overall, the accommodations were appropriate for the nature of the trip. Some were simpler, others more comfortable, but all were functional and suited to the itinerary. A special mention goes to Matobo Hills Lodge: a beautiful property perfectly integrated into the landscape, with impeccable cleanliness, extremely kind and helpful staff, excellent food, and a truly unique location. It was undoubtedly one of the best lodges of the entire trip.
Matobo National Park, although less well-known than other more famous destinations, is absolutely worth a visit. Its granite landscapes are extraordinary, and the activities offered are among the most interesting of the trip. In my opinion, two nights are enough to fully appreciate it, but it is a stop that should not be missed in any Zimbabwe–Botswana itinerary.
The guides and local staff were professional, knowledgeable, and always available, contributing greatly to a smooth and enjoyable experience.
I would recommend this itinerary to anyone looking for an authentic African nature experience, with an excellent balance between iconic destinations and lesser-known but equally fascinating places.
A special thanks goes to our guide, Brighton from Zambezi Tour, who organized the trip and accompanied us for most of the journey. From the very first contact, he proved attentive to our expectations and the requirements I had expressed during the planning phase. Throughout the 14 days we spent together, he managed the program with great flexibility, adapting it when necessary while always keeping the goals of the trip in focus. His expertise, deep knowledge of the territory and local wildlife, combined with his availability and ability to listen, contributed significantly to the success of the experience

Magical birthday experience as a solo female traveler
I came to Tanzania for a work trip but wanted to do something special for my birthday. The day trip to Mikumi was wonderful. I felt very cared and accommodated for by Winnie and the team. Saloniki was my tour guide in the park. I told him that I love elephants and he made a point of making sure I saw all the elephants he could find. I learnt a lot from him, he is very pleasant and very good at his job. They even prepared a birthday cake for me as a surprise! What a lovely day.

Good luck
I’m extremely satisfied with the entire safari trip. The four of us in the vehicle had an amazing time. Every day’s itinerary brought wonderful new surprises, and we managed to spot all the Big Five of Africa.
Special praise goes to our guide Good Luck, who has 25 years of safari guiding experience. He would discuss the next day’s schedule with us the evening before. He drives extremely smoothly, always positions the vehicle at the best viewing spots for wildlife, and possesses extensive knowledge of every animal species. He patiently shared detailed explanations about all the creatures we encountered.

Always looking after you, really trying to make your Trip an unforgetable journey
I decided to go on a 7-day safari with Memorable Vacation Africa, and I definitely made the right choice! Everything went wonderfully, from the planning to the actual trip. Since I was traveling alone, I asked to join a group safari, which was quite a complex undertaking for Evance in terms of planning. But he handled it brilliantly, and I really had a great time! The food was excellent—from breakfast and packed lunches to dinner. A big thank you to the chef, “Kasimu.” It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend a safari with Memorable Vacation to everyone!
Asante Sana!

Very good
Our 4-day safari was truly an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guide and driver, Melita.
From the very first day, Melita was kind, professional, patient, and always attentive to every detail. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was impressive, and he made sure we had the best possible chance to see the animals we dreamed of finding. Thanks to his experience, we were able to enjoy countless unforgettable wildlife sightings.
He was always punctual, friendly, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. You can clearly see how passionate he is about his work, and that made our safari even more special.
These four days exceeded all of our expectations. We will cherish these memories forever, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Thank you, Melita, for making our dream safari so perfect. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience!
