Tusks & Trails are fantastic. We had a two week trip to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana - all organised through them or based on their recommendations. Incredibly communicative, fantastic in-country knowledge, and fabulous recommendations throughout the trip. They focus on curating the best experience possible - not just selling you the most expensive options…which made for an unforgettable trip. We’ll definitely be using them again and have recommended them to anyone who asks!

Very first experience in safari. What an amazing one ! Every single inquiry was fulfilled for nothing else than the best. Tusk and trails did a really great job at taking care of our trip. They were also making sure everything is fine along the way and are always available to help you when you need. Thanks a lot, definitely would recommend !

We asked Tusk and Trails to put together a complex agenda covering 5 days in Botswana and Zambia. They came back with a great action packed plan covering a safari, a perfect stay in the Royal Livingston hotel and a huge amount to do in the Vic Falls area. Bungee jumping, white water rafting, boat cruises and a memorable helicopter trip over the Falls. We chopped and changed many of our plans along the way and they were always able to accommodate our multiple requests. And all at excellent prices !! Hugely enjoyable…
