We took Zambezi’s services visiting Victoria Falls, a day trip to Hwange National Park and a full day trip to Chobe. Brighton is simply the best. He is very fluent in English and is knowledgeable about his country and the wildlife. His knowledge of world affairs backed by his finance background meant many an interesting and learning experiences about Zimbabwe. He was on time all the time. He is unfailingly polite and was a joy to travel with. The cost of the tour was value for money in my opinion. I’d recommend Brighton and his company for any tour you are considering in and around Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.

It was an amazing experience.
I had the most amazing time exploring the Victoria Falls and Hwange with Zambezi Quest! I booked their Full-Day Trip from Victoria Falls to Hwange National Park as I had limited time in the country, and it did not disappoint. The comfortable vehicles for ease of travelling and full-packed itinerary ensured I got the most out of my day. And not only was the local guide knowledgeable on the places to visit, he knew the history of the places too! Really wish I had more time in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend exploring with Zambezi Quest - top tier treatment!

One of the seven wonders of the world
Zambezi Quest Travel and Tours provided excellent service and accommodations during our stay in Zimbabwe. Our driver was very knowledgeable. We toured several villages in Victoria Falls and the Mosi-is Tunya National Park. We were also provided transportation to and from the airport as well as our hotel. I highly recommend Zambezi Quest Travel.
