Day 2
Did you know that Livingstone's Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park has square-lipped rhinos, aka white rhinos? In the morning, when it is still cool, you will head to the national park and go on a walking safari. This is our chance to see nature from the ground level, check for tracks, and talk about plants and their use. The aim is to find some of the white rhinos and see them from a close range. After this exhausting exercise, you'll have a picnic by the river. A visit to Livingstone isn't complete without seeing the Victoria Falls. To do this is the plan for the afternoon. Accommodation is in rooms. Lunch and dinner are at your own expense.

5.0/5Daniel arranged a tour for me after I gave him my dates and budget and an idea of what I'd like to see in Zambia. He responded quickly with a full itinerary and after that he always responded quickly to any queries I had before the trip. Overall, I had about 8 days visiting Victoria Falls, Lusaka and South Luangwa. It was all very well organised and Daniel knew so much about the country and the places we passed through. The highlight was definitely the time in South Luangwa with its fascinating wildlife. Daniel's knowledge here was incredible too and a real bonus. He seemed to know the names, habitats and behaviours of every bird or animal we saw, no matter how obscure! The tour was excellent and the accommodation provided was of a good standard - clean, comfortable but also nicely African in style. Daniel was very flexible and accommodating while on tour. I'd definitely book again!

I booked a 4-night camping safari to Kafue NP through Zamsato starting in Livingstone and ending in Lusaka. Daniel, the owner of Zamsato tours, was also my driver and guide during the safari tour. It was very easy to communicate with him through emails before the tour to discuss all details of the tour. During the tour he was an excellent guide who knew a lot about flora and fauna of the park so I was able to learn a lot about the nature in this part of the world. Additionaly, he is also a great cook - as I booked a camping tour we prepared our own meals in the camps, from scratch and with fresh ingredients. It was a great experience sleeping in a tent and listening to the voices of nocturnal Africa. I would definitely recommend Zamsato and I also plan to book them again when I am back to Zambia.

This was the highlight of our Zambia Safari The wildlife sightings in the park were spectacular. We came to Zambia to see Leapords and we were not disappointed. The accomadations were cozy and the food was phenomenal. The owners victoria and David were gracious and a pleasure to know. Dinners were spent with the hosts and we had a feeling of being with family. What they have given back to the local community is commendable. It is always uplifting to br with people of high character. The guides were knowledgable and a pleasure to be with. The time at camp is unforgetable and I hope to return sooner than later. This was a memory I will cherish.

Daniel put together an extremely well organized tour which exactly met our requirements. He has obviously built up a network of experienced, reliable and friendly contacts to support him. Highlight of our trip was canoeing down the lower Zambesi - getting up close to the crocs, hippos and elephants.
