Botswana and Zimbabwe Tours and Trips

Fantastic holiday with great company. Our guide, our hosts and most of all the animals lived up to and far exceeded any expectations. Our guide, KK, is worthy of a special mention. He was hugely knowledgeable about every bird and animal we encountered, he had the patience of a saint and quietly and calmly sorted out every problem we encountered, allaying any fears from the group along the way. He knew exactly where to find the animals and how to get the best views, often arriving on the scene before any other vehicles, and being the one to allay the news across the park of unique sightings. He made our holiday.

I loved this trip. Our guide KK was excellent, calm, knowledgeable, patient and kind. Botswana is a truly beautiful country with friendly people. Of all the wildlife tours I have done this was the best. The trip notes were a little brief on the accommodation and lack of power availability (i am being generous here)! I believe it is always best to be upfront about what explorers are letting themselves in for so that they can prepare properly. I would love to do another tour to Botswana, same guide, something else!

I had a fabulous time in Botswana, my holiday exceeded my expectations. I was amazed how close we got to the animals and birds and how many we saw. They were relaxed and weren't bothered by us. Our tour leader, KK, was great and looked after us so well. He is very knowledgeable and was great at spotting the wildlife and answered all our questions. There were many long drives some over bumpy, sandy tracks particularly in Chobe and tarmac roads excellently navigated by KK's safe driving. We were well looked after by lovely staff at our various accommodations. I was happy with the food generally and particularly the variety while we were camping where the food was cooked on an option fire. We drove through Namibia for a few hours and had to pay the equivalent of 80 Euro for visas which were introduced earlier in the year. I think Explore should consider changing the tour to avoid this extra cost. Also the itinerary notes need updating, the camp drop toilets are not 'water based', they use sand. One area was referred to being wet / marsh but it dried up over 10 years ago. One of the people on our tour is passing on more details but your tours leaders can advise you.

It was an amazing trip! Our tour guide was fantastic and the sites we saw were a once in a lifetime experiences! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit these three countries!

An absolute trip of a lifetime! What a fantastic holiday. It was an action packed holiday but I feel we got everything we wanted out of this trip and more. The safaris are excellent, we managed to see the big 5 and the drivers really go above and beyond to try and spot as many animals as they can for you. The additional activities were also amazing, we had an amazing time on the rafting and also on the swing / zip line in Zimbabwae. The people within our group were the best group of people you could ask for and really took our trip to the next level. We have to give a massive shout out to our guide *personal info removed by Feefo*. What an amazing man he is! He went above and beyond to ensure we all knew the time table for the days, answered any questions we had, was so knowledgeable about the places we visited and the local culture. We felt 100% safe in his care, and this also stands for all our drivers etc throughout the trip. He also went above his role for us as he helped my boyfriend to plan the perfect proposal to myself, so we really cannot thank him enough. Yes you have to pay for many of the additional activities but it is TOTALLY worth it - it will be trip we will never forget and will keep in our hearts forever. Do not hesitate to book this trip!

This was my first safari, and the holiday exceeded my expectations. Our guide Phenyo shared his exceptional knowledge and love of wildlife and Botswana with us. His local knowledge and a touch of being in the right place at the right time gave us many opportunities to see amazing wildlife in their natural surroundings. Many many, highlights; getting close to the leopard and lions, watching the elephants crossing the river, the enormous herd of buffalo, giraffes, zebras, impalas, numerous varieties of birds. The list goes on. Thank you to Phenyo and the people of Botswana for sharing this with us.
