Company truly cares about providing the best possible experience--fantastic in my opinion.
We booked a 12 day safari mainly in the countries of Zimbabwe and Botswana. Archie, the operational manager put together an outstanding adventure for us. Our guide Norman was equally outstanding and stayed with us for the entire, which allowed him to share his experiences along with what we were going to see. gave us options such as walking the lion & cheetahs (each pair) and safari to view rhinos--never thought we would ever do that. His choices of places to eat, all inclusive except alcohol, were excellent and we did not worry about what we could or could not eat. Highlights of the trip included the safaris, viewing a lion pack on he hunt, lion pack under the shade, two lions finishing off a meal, elephants (stayed at a lodge where the elephants travel between the units), water buffaloes, birds, and my list would just go on. Going is September, which is the dry season is the way to go as the animals are around the water holes and there is no vegetation to obstruct our view. Africa Uncovered is an outstanding safari company and I would highly recommend them. My last comment is value for money paid: truly outstanding and a real plus if choosing a company.

Excellent organisation in an unforgettable trip to Chobe and Okavango
Africa Uncovered Safaris deserves nothing less than a 5-star review for the exceptional experience they provided for us. From start to finish, this company showed reliability, professionalism, effectiveness, and ease of communication. We (me and my 22 year old daughter) did the Chobe & camp site in Okavango and we could not have had a better experience.
We were in the good hands of Muza and Norman, who ensured that our journey was not only safe but also unforgettable, who made us feel like we were exploring with old friends. Their availability was remarkable; whenever we had questions or needed assistance, they were there to provide guidance. Muza's deep knowledge of wildlife, history, and local culture enriched our safari in ways we couldn't have imagined. It felt like we were learning from the best in the field. The insights they shared allowed us to connect with the environment, animals, and the rich history and culture of the region.
Trustworthiness is a precious quality in the travel industry, and Africa Uncovered Safaris embodied it entirely. Since the very beginning, when I have a lot of questions from home, they always responded them quick and effectively and it gave me a lot of confidence, specially being two women, and without experience. I really appreciated it.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking an extraordinary safari experience and am grateful to the company, Muza and Norman for all the good care that they put on us.

Amazing and immersive experience, with a constant sense of security and meaningful human connection
This experience has been one of the best I’ve ever had. I went on this trip with my brother Pedro, who managed most of the logistics. I trusted him completely, and I think we couldn’t have made a better choice than African Uncovered Safaris. We always had plenty of information, and once we arrived in Zimbabwe, Tafara was an excellent guide from the very start. The experience was outstanding, especially due to his kindness and all the insights he shared about the country and its wildlife. I believe Tafara is incredibly well-prepared, both professionally and emotionally, for leading tours like this.
Additionally, we always had flexibility in terms of schedules and activity choices, and we felt a great sense of safety with Tafara, both during the drives and in the country overall. As my brother Pedro has already mentioned, our tour started in Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River, then moved on to Chobe, Elephant Sands, the Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, and finally back to Victoria Falls.
As a biologist and nature enthusiast, this experience exceeded all my expectations. I learned so much and took countless photos. We saw a wide range of animals: elephants, hippos, giraffes, crocodiles, zebras, various species of antelopes, dozens of bird species (including vultures and eagles), wildebeests, a few lions, a leopard, and even rhinos. Besides the classic jeep tours, we also took a mokoro ride and camped in the wild, where we enjoyed the Southern Hemisphere night sky full of stars and shooting stars. We also had the chance to visit a local village, where we spoke with the residents and got a glimpse into their daily lives. Although our time there was limited to just a couple of hours, it was a meaningful experience. I highly recommend this as an opportunity to learn from their way of life and gain a deeper understanding of the local culture. It’s a great way to step outside the typical tourist bubble and connect more authentically with the community, rather than staying in a purely Westernized environment.
I highly recommend visiting Devil’s Pool. I was a bit scared, but I felt completely safe as lifeguards were present and assisted us throughout. The view was amazing.
In summary, this company is highly reliable, offering many options and flexibility, and having Tafara as our guide made the experience truly unique. Without a doubt, I’ll be doing this again!
