Professionals, trustworthy. We recommend it 100%.
I found Africa Zim Travel & Tours on the Internet based on the opinions of other tourists. And it was a great decision. Before departure, I kept in touch with Pamela by e-mail. They answered my questions quickly. She was patient. I was a little worried whether someone would be waiting for us at the airport. Unnecessarily. Stanford was waiting for us and took care of us. And it was He who decided about the success of our trip. A great guide, speaker, driver and, of course, companion. A man of great culture, well dressed, always on site. Standford made our first trip to Africa wonderful and safe. Thank you and best regards. And we are already thinking about another trip to Africa (Namibia), of course accompanied by Stanford. We love Africa and its people. We highly recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours. And Stanford :). Monika, Magda, Zbyszek i Zbyszek. April/May 2024- Zimbwawe/Botswana.

Willing to go above and beyond for you
Africa Zim Travel & Tours were incredible throughout the entire process of the holiday. From booking, to the lead up with our many questions, when we arrived and throughout our trip. They were willing to help and provide as much info as possible and were always very quick with their responses. We were lucky to be paired with our wonderful guide Stanford who was waiting for us at Victoria Falls Airport. Stanford is made for this job he is so knowledgeable and welcoming. He became part of the family by day 2 of the trip. We were a family of 6 and this will be a trip we never forget and that’s thanks to Africa Zim Travel & Tours! We would and already have been recommending them to everyone!

An experience of a lifetime, with local guides to make it authentic and seamless!
Our recent tour through Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls and Botswana’s Chobe National Park was simply spectacular, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible local guide, Pamela. From start to finish, Pamela went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable. She knew every inch of Victoria Falls and shared stories and insights that only a true local could provide, which made our exploration so much richer.
Pamela’s warmth and friendliness made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. She handled all the logistics so seamlessly that we could relax and fully enjoy every moment. Her attention to detail was amazing—she even took us to a hidden gem of a coffee spot in Victoria Falls, where we enjoyed some of the best local brews in a cozy atmosphere.
Our time in Chobe National Park was equally amazing, with wildlife encounters we’ll remember forever. We also visited Elephant Sands and the Okavango Delta. You would think traveling around the country in a van would be tough, as the distance is great, but Pamela was amazing. She handled the roads like a pro, made stops for us to rest, and shared stories to make the time go by. She even introduced us to local music which we blasted throughout our road trip. The trip in itself is an experience like no other, but it truly was made better with Pamela. So if you are going to Zimbabwe and/or Botswana, make sure to choose Africa Zim Travel & Tours and ask for Pamela. I can't recommend her highly enough! This was more than just a tour—it felt like exploring with a friend. Thank you, Pamela, for an experience of a lifetime!

Amazing experience with amazing local guide!
Our tour through Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls and Botswana was truly unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide, Pamela. She brought each location to life, sharing local stories at Victoria Falls and taking us to a fantastic hidden coffee spot. In Botswana, she guided us seamlessly through Chobe National Park, Elephant Sands, and the stunning Okavango Delta, where we experienced breathtaking wildlife and scenery.
Pamela's passion and knowledge made everything feel easy, and her introductions to local music and culture gave us an authentic experience. Touring with her felt like exploring with a friend—thank you, Pamela, for making this trip one for the books!

Extremely helpful & accomodating
Our tour guide, Moto, was the making of the tour. Him and the phenomenal scenery and activities. Every day was a joy, so much to see and experience. Real core memories created.

8 day custom tour from Victoria Falls to Chobe, Okavango Delta and Maun
I can’t praise Africa Zim Travel & Tours more highly. They are a boutique tour operator that specialises in custom travel experiences. They built a tour itinerary around the dates my husband and I provided, and included all the stops and activities we wanted to include on our African safari adventure. Quite often along our adventure, we crossed paths with the big bus operators, and we were so pleased that we went with Africa Zim Travel & Tours, and did not have to share our safari with 30 other travelers.
We opted for an all-tent experience, so that we could hear the sounds of Africa at night. But we could easily have upgraded to other accommodation if we had wanted. Initially we requested a range of accommodation options, all of which were great value for money, but we settled on tenting. We booked an 8-day tour from Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe to Maun in Botswana. We were met by our awesome host, Stanford, at Vic Falls airport. He was our trusty companion, driver, animal spotter and most gracious guide for the duration of our trip. Africa Zim Travel & Tours has a supportive and symbiotic relationship with other small local operators. We were seamlessly handed over to other expert guides for the specialist adventures we had requested, like a game viewing Zambezi river sunset cruise, a 2-night stay over in the heart of Chobe National Park and another 2-night stay over in the Okavango Delta. Stanford was always there, with his infectious smile and glowing personality, to collect us and take us on the next part of our adventure.
One advantage we were extremely grateful for, because of going with Africa Zim Travel & Tours, unlike the other big tour options out there, our tent was always built and furnished before we arrived. No need to erect our own tent at each stop.
The Africa Zim team are really professional. There is a solid team of back-office members, who always respond to emails within hours. They are supported by a team of highly experienced tour guides who take us lucky travelers around Africa and make dreams come true.
Our experience was first class from beginning to end. Thank you to everyone at Africa Zim Travel & Tours, for making our holiday unforgettable.

Perfect from start to finish!
We really enjoyed our entire trip—from booking to activities to accommodations. We were able to modify the trip ahead of time to suit our needs. Very responsive service.
When we arrived, Pamela was our guide, and she truly made our 8-day experience special. She knew all of the best local spots which made a huge difference. She was super flexible, friendly, and knowledgeable and helped us see everything we wanted to see.
The trip offered a lot of variety, so we were never bored. Chobe is amazing, so is Victoria Falls, and elephant sands. All of the food was amazing and so were the accommodations. It’s hard to pick a highlight. Cannot recommend this trip enough.

Professional, knowledgable, dependable. Aims for the traveller to have a truly valuable experience.
I was not there for a safari, however Africa Zim was VERY helpful in guiding me on my travel throughout the country, particularly in spending time to answer questions and give advice and in arranging accommodations and ground transportation in and between several towns that I visited. They more than met my expectations. I will be referring others and will use this company again myself.

Toured for 8 days to Chobe, Okavango and Victoria Falls with Blessing Munbare as our guide
Communications to establish the tour dates and payment was slower than I had hoped but we hammered the details out to our satisfaction. The tour was as advertised and often exceeded expectations. Chobe Safari Lodge was totally wonderful as were the boat experience and the driving safari. Okavango Delta was s bit disappointing because there was not much wildlife ( wrong time of the season) but the Sedia Hotel gave a sense of Africa that was not totally touristy. Victoria Falls was spectacular as was the Victoria Falls Hotel. Having Blessing Mumbare as our guide and friend for the 8 days was indeed a highlight of of trip. His care for us (myself, wife and daughter) will be remembered fondly. We thank him for his efforts and hospitality. You will be hard-pressed to find anything comparable for the experience and price. Thank-you Blessing - Bob

Wonderfully accommodating tour guide!
I am most grateful that we found Africa Zim. Traveling with a group of friends, each with different date requirements and all with very specific locations we wanted to explore, we appreciated how accommodating Africa Zim was. Our guide, Blessing, was responsive by email during our trip planning and very flexible during the tour when changes needed to be made. He found wonderful guides for us on our game drives and river cruises. It was clear that we were getting a much better experience than the other groups we would meet and talk with during breaks. Best of all for any birders out there, all the guides were excellent at identifying and pointing out the local birds. Be sure to ask the river people to tell their creation stories - I especially liked the explanation story for why hippos leave the river to take care of their business ;-)
