5.0/5We had a great experience. Our agent (Archie Dzinetsa) communicated well, was accurate regarding their listing, reliable, and had great service. Our guide Musa was great. He was kind, communicated well, knowledgeable about the tours/animals/etc, and stayed with us the whole time to ensure we had a great experience. We really enjoyed seeing the various tours and opportunities to experience nature (boat cruise, land drive, Mokoro rides, etc.). We are thankful to have chosen this company as we crossed paths with another couple who were having issues with their tour company. Our trip was a blast and that is due to the itinerary done by Archie and Musa. Of note we did a tour from Victoria falls that ended in Maun with a couple days in the Okavango Delta. Would recommend and would do it again with the same company

Since the moment we decided to ask for a quote, Africa Uncovered Safaris established an excellent communication. They answered all our questions about the schedule for the 5 days safari and accommodated all our experiences based on our time of arrival and departure. Archie, the owner of the company, has been always very responsive and reliable, in all circumstances. We had the pleasure to spend 5 days with Tafara, the gentleman who showed us the different beautiful sites around Victoria Falls. He was officially our 'guide' but our relationship went behind this label. We were able to establish a relationship framed on reciprocal estime, respect and friendship. With his kindness, sincerity and open mind, he added a bigger value to any experience we had and to any place we visited. Our activities were the following: Boma dinner; sunset dinner on the Zambesi river; Victoria Falls tour; Painted dogs rescue village; Hwange National Park; a Shona village and more. Our accommodations were amazing and all meals very delicious. We had serval encounters with the parks' fauna: elephants; zebras; crocodile; giraffes; rhino; vultures; impalas; storks; and more. If you are thinking to explore that part of Zimbabwe, I would strongly recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris and its team.

All communications, timing, meals, game drives, everything was just perfect. Our guides were Norman and driver Simba. Always on time, everything seamless. We could choose where to eat, no limits.
mari · Peru
We did the 9 day majestic Zimbabwe and Botswana wildlife tour and enjoyed every single second! Our guide, Norman, and our driver, Simba, were simply the best travel companions! They were attentive to anything we needed, thoughtful, knowledgeable, efficient, always smiling and laughing and lots of fun. The hotels were all amazing - always clean and spotless with wonderful breakfasts and fabulous grounds and gardens. Every restaurant we ate at was different and they all had delicious food. And the game drives and boat cruises were absolutely enchanting! We saw so many different and wonderful animals - we felt very privileged. So thank you Africa Uncovered Safaris for making this trip so incredibly wonderful.
