Wonderful and amazing tour company
5/5

Tafara was an excellent, kind and amazing tour guide. We really had an amazing unforgettable time with him. He always respect us what we would like to do and did his best to make our tour a wonderful one. Archie was also always gave us an immediate, kind and helpful response from our early stages of our tour planning, which we were so greatful. If we have any chances to go to Africa again, we will definitely choose Africa Uncovered Safaris tour again.

One of the BEST trips and guides in my life: Botswana and Victoria Falls
5/5

I participated in the „7 days Botswana Magic and Incredible Victoria Falls“ tour in September with my sister and boyfriend, and I can truly recommend it!! I think it covered all the must-see spots in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our guide, Tafara, was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and really professional throughout the entire trip. Even though I’m not confident in speaking English (my English level is between B1 and B2 level) and a bit shy, he was patient and attentive, always making sure I felt comfortable. He created a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. Tafara went above and beyond to accommodate our requests to the best of his ability, and even made additional suggestions that were even better than what we had in mind. Thanks to his recommendations, we made the most of our extra time even more fulfilling experience. The driving time to the next destination is sometimes long, but it was good chance to take a rest and Tafara explained about everything what we could be interested in and answered our questions. You can see the wild animals on the way too, not only during the game drives. Tafara stopped the car when we found interesting animals to take pictures and explained about them. He is divinity one of the best guid who we have experienced!!

The driver Norman is so kind, intelligent and informative.
If my family or friends asked me the recommendation for a tour company in Zimbabwe, I would definitely recommend this tour company and him!

The best guide ever
5/5

We had the best experience here. The guide Norman was flexible to our requests and very professional. Next time we visit Zimbabwe, definitely we will ask him guiding us again.

Fabulous client service and attention to detail.
5/5

Our family recently travelled to Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, working with Africa Uncovered Safaris for an 18 day tour. The level of service, attention to detail, and care shown to our family was unbelievable and exceeded expectation. Archie was fantastic to work with and spent alot of time working with me to create a customized itinerary based on some very specific requests. He not only delivered but showed a level of care and commitment that went beyond a typical travel company. He was very responsive to questions and inquiries, and ensured that all details and preferences were taken care of. Our vehicle was roomy and we appreciated the attention to detail and safety that both Muza, our guide, and Simba, our driver, prioritized during the entire tour. There were a few times where a small adjustment was necessary or we had a choice between several options, and the team communicated very well and ensured that all went smoothly. We truly appreciated the way this dream team handled our bucket list trip, and would not hesitate to refer them to anyone. Thank you so much!

Very professional and customer oriented handling
5/5

Although in the end I did not decide to do my tour with Africa Uncovered this time (as I had a last-minute possibility to join a mobile safari), I was very impressed how Archie handled my travel request - his professionalism, reliability, customer focus and fast reaction time that I decided to leave this review as I will for sure consider Africa Uncovered for a later safari.

After sending my (very short-term) request I was contacted via WhatsApp call to have a brief discussion and received a tour suggestion by email shortly afterwards. I had a few questions which Archie answered in a detailed manner and he also incorporated my wishes. Archie truly went the extramile to accommodate my requests and left a superb impression of his company with me.

Thanks again and very sorry again it did not work out this time!

Amazing, well-organised tour across Zimbabwe and Botswana
5/5

During July, my boyfriend and I went on a Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) and Botswana 9 day tour with Africa Uncovered, with tour guide Tafara. We booked the tour super last minute (only a few weeks before), but Archie and Tafara were so accommodating and the organization of the trip was very smooth. We had the most incredible time exploring all the different magical spots of Botswana and seeing all the animals. We also really enjoyed getting to know Tafara, who was patient and kind, and gave us loads of information about his home country which was fascinating. We had lots of support from Tafara & Archie when my boyfriend came down with the flu, and was feeling very poorly - Tafara took him to a doctor, and was able to change some plans when necessary. They were also very supportive when we decided we did not want to camp in the bush, and helped to swap us back to the hotel. Overall, we'd really recommend both the tour and the company!

Don't go with anyone else!
5/5

This was our first time to Africa and didn't know what all to expect. We couldn't be happier when we boarded the plane to go home. Archie helped us with booking our tour of Victoria Falls, Chobe, and Hwange National Parks. He helped book extra hotel arrangements at the end of the trip. He drove us to the airport the day after the tour ended. This means we had nothing to worry about from the entire time we were in Africa.

Tafara was our guide, and we have made a lifelong friend. We didn't have to worry about anything. Tafara ensured all of our tours were confirmed and even helped us book an extra helicopter tour over Victoria Falls. Part of this tour included visiting a local homestead, and this tour company uses some of your fee to buy basic necessities for the family. Visiting this family was the highlight of our trip. Tafara spent extra time as we gathered school supplies and distributed to some local schools. This was not included in the original tour itinerary, and he was glad to make it happen! We truly enjoyed the great amount of time we spent with Tafara. We learned a lot about local culture, life, and animals; and we hope he learned a little about us, as well!

You might find other options at a cheaper rate, but the price was fair. Especially if it is your first trip, we highly recommend you go with a guide. We think about what our trip would have been like if we had not been with a guide. It would have been fine, but the interaction and service made this trip that much easier and much more memorable.

Please support this tour company. They provide a great service and also help with projects int he local community to help make it better. We hope to be back!
