          The Travel Experience of a Lifetime
          My nine-day Best of Zimbabwe Tour with African Beast Safaris and its founder, Simon, was one of the most beautiful and profound travel experiences of my life. Simon is not only a very personable, friendly, and fun person to be with, but he’s also well-organized and quick in solving challenges and making well-informed decisions. His choices of local guides were perfect. All the men who took me through my nine-day journey were fantastic and knowledgeable. They knew the history of the land and the nature surrounding it well. Traveling as a single woman, I felt safe and well cared for. Simon picked me up from the Victoria Falls airport. He took me to Victoria Falls Safari Lodge, where I stayed for three nights. I took the sunset cruise on the Zambezi River while watching hippo families floating in the river and crocodiles resting on the banks. The following two days I spent on a safari and hiking along the impressive Victoria Falls. I also learned from my guide about the various rituals of the Tonga people who reside in the surroundings of the Falls. Three days later, Simon drove me with expertise through the expressway full of holes to Hwange National Park, where I stayed for two nights at Geango Heritage Resort. I spent two days on Safaris, seeing many animals, including elephants, hyenas, lions, painted dogs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and many kinds of other antelopes, and learning from my guides about the animals and their habits. The last three nights I spent at Matobo Hill, first at Big Cave Camp and Larer at Matobo Hill Lodge. OMG, this landscape is not to be believed! The granite mountains were created 2 billion years ago, and since then, time has corroded them and turned them into beautiful abstract sculptures. I have to say that nature is the most creative artist. The Bushmen living there in the past were artists, too. Many caves are filled with rock art that may be up to 18 thousand years old. I took hikes to two of them. On the way, we were fortunate to encounter white rhinos. We also stopped at small settlements and talked to the residents. My guides spoke all the local languages. The caves with the rock art are a spiritual experience that is almost impossible to describe in words. One has to be there to feel and experience the profound beauty of art and time. Simon created an exquisite trip for me. The people I met on the way were kind, generous, and knowledgeable. I now want all my friends to book a journey guided by Simon and African Beast Safaris.

          Incredible Experience!
          My experience with Africa Beast Safaris was absolutely amazing. Simon, who owns the company collected me from the airport and made sure I was settled in accommodation and had everything I needed every step of the trip. Being a solo female traveller I was somewhat anxious about safety, however Simon made sure I was safe and gave me plenty of tips and guidance, going above and beyond to make sure I had a great trip. In the lead up to the trip Simon was flexible and created a reasonably priced, amazing itinerary that allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, and he was always available, and responsive to messages and calls with his jovial and relaxed personality. Simon and his staff were highly professional, kind and diligent, with all my tours and activities booked and completed with no issues at all. I would highly recommend the sunset cruise along the Zambezi River, Vic falls exploration, full day game experience in Chobe NP, Botswana and my favourite which was the 3 days spent in the Hwange NP and Hwange Safari Lodge. Simon was an incredible host, he is highly knowledgeable and skilled at what he does. There was nothing that was too much for him, and he made sure all my needs were met. He was happy to accommodate any changes I needed, and this was no issue for him as he has such strong relationships and an excellent reputation amongst local service providers. I would certainly recommend Simon to anyone looking to explore Zimbabwe and the surrounds. 100% Satisfied! Thank you Simon 😊

          Amazing experience
          I booked the 5-day Victoria Falls and Chobe budget tour and was very happy with the service provided. The agency is 100% reliable. From the first inquiry, their team responded quickly and professionally, always providing clear and detailed information. Every aspect of the trip, from airport transfers to accommodations and safari activities, was perfectly planned and executed. The accommodations were great. Very clean, with confortable beds and air conditioning. I highly recommend Africa beast safaris

          Amazing Zimbabwe experience!
          We just got back from an incredible 6-day trip to Zimbabwe with African Beast Safaris, and it was beyond amazing! Simon, our guide and trip manager, made everything so easy and enjoyable. Despite some flight delays (which were booked separately), Simon took it in stride, rearranging everything so we didn’t miss a beat. He was always available and responsive, no matter the time of day, which really put us at ease. We stayed at Elephant Hills Resort while in Victoria Falls, which was absolutely gorgeous. Then, we moved to Ivory Lodge in Hwange National Park, and that place was a highlight! It had its own wildlife concession area, so we were surrounded by animals all the time — it felt like a private safari experience just staying there. The trip was packed with amazing activities: morning, full-day, and evening safaris, smooth transfers between locations, and a lovely boat trip. We also had an incredible night of stargazing with Amarula (highly recommend!) where we got a full guide on all the star constellations visible in the African sky — such a unique and relaxing experience. What made the trip even better was that we had two groups who booked everything separately, but African Beast Safaris made sure we all shared the experiences together without a hitch. Both Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park were stunning, and we saw so much wildlife it was unreal! There were no issues at all, and Simon’s attention to detail made everything run like clockwork. If you’re planning a safari in Zimbabwe, I can’t recommend African Beast Safaris enough — it was truly an unforgettable adventure, and we’d do it all again in a heartbeat!

          A rich day trip
          The trip was very interesting, Chobe national park is impressive, even in super dry conditions. Plenty of elephants and kudu antelopes. The organisers could do better in time management. We left Victoria falls around 7pm, then on border had to change vehicles, take more people, there was a lot of waiting involved. In the end, our afternoon boat trip had to be shortened. So a message to organisers: leave early and have all cars ready and instructions clear on how much time visitors spend where.

          Fabulous Full Day Safari
          Brilliant day safari. Collected by driver at 0600 from our Vic falls hotel. A long drive of 3 hours, but interesting scenery on the way and an excellent driver Liberty, very knowledgeable and good company. Saw many animals, hippo, elephant, zebra, lion, giraffe and very fortunate to be the only group who spotted and watched a leopard. Very good hot lunch provided plus soft drinks. Guides very thorough. Back in Vic Falls by 8 p.m, only slightly late as Liberty took us via the Painted Fog rehab centre where we were able to have 20 minutes viewing two dogs they had there, recovering from a lion attack. A really worthwhile day trip.

          Amazing experience and top notch tour company
          Simon put together an absolutely stunning trip of Zimbabwe for me. Simon was very hands on and communicative and reliable. The trip was well planned to give me rest and breaks while also thoroughly immersing me in the beauty of Victoria Falls and the adventures of safaris. My trip was perfect to give me the full experience of seeing Victoria Falls, the Zambezi, and multiple days of safaris. Simon was also very helpful in last minute changes of schedule and activities due to my changes in schedule and needs. 10/10 would absolutely recommend Simon!

          Amazing tour and amazing experience
          We only had a short amount of time in Victoria falls region, so we went with Simon and Africa Beast Safaris to visit Chobe National Park for a day trip. Simon was incredible and he made it incredibly easy and enjoyable to cross over to Botswana and experience both a land tour via an open air 4x4 and also a boat tour on the Chobe river. All of our guides on both of those excursions were amazing. On the 4x4 tour we saw lions, lots of antelope, lots of elephants, water buffalo and more. The boat tour was what our family enjoyed the most. It was incredible getting up close and personal with hippos, giant crocs, elephants, birds and buffalo. We would highly recommend this tour. Plus lunch was amazing!

          Due to unforseen circumstances our booked cruise didnt happen with the above company. Simon was so helpful and booked us on another cruise. He went out of his way to sort things out by visiting us at our hotel and returning our original booking payment. Well done Simon and thank you. We would recommend this company highly.

          Excellent day trip to Chobe from Vic Falls
          I carefully researched tours and tour companies before booking a day trip for my family from Zimbabwe to Botswana for the Chobe day trip. It's a lot of money for the day and I feel like Africa Beast was the best company of them all. It seems like most of the companies offer the same day trip including transportation to the park, a game drive, meal at a lodge, a boat ride through Chobe river and then transport back to the hotel/lodge you started from. The main thing I noticed is that many tours cost a bit more, and then you have fees to enter the park on top of your tour fees. Africa Beast had all park fees included and beat the other guides prices. We even had the owner of the company transport us personally to the game driver at the Botswana border. We then easily went through the day with our guide DC, we saw lots of animals, but we saw lion for the first time, and 3 of them at that. We live in South Africa for 3 months of every year and have been on countless drives but this is the first time to see lion in the bush! We also saw cape buffalo, elephant, hippo, Crocs, kudu, impala, monkeys, baboons, birds and more. We learned that the rhino have been removed from the park due to poaching, but the rest of the big 5 can potentially be seen. No sign of any leopard during our day time drive, but what an absolute delight so see a lioness and 2 males! The lodge that Simon arranged for our lunch was absolutely beautiful and the lunch was very nice. Be advised that the lodge provides food with the tour, but not beverages. There is a little gift shop so I was able to get some earrings as a souvenir from that country, and after eating we just sat in an outdoor lounge and soaked in the view of the river. From the lodge we departed for the river ride portion of the tour. DC got us up close again to Crocs, hippo, buffalo, and elephant. He also explained how we were in an international waterway with Botswana on one side and Namibia on the other. On our way back to the lodge he pointed out a Namibian fisherman padding standing up in a canoe. The only other thing to note aside from paying for beverages is that a $10 US tip per person is suggested for your game driver. It was good to know ahead of time what the appropriate amount was for DC. Overall, it was a fantastic day that Simon organized and was well worth the price for the experience we will never forget. Don't hesitate to book with Africa Beast Safari!

          Amazing trip to Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park!
          We recently returned to the UK from 9 days in Zimbabwe and Zambia, with 6 of those days spent in the care of Simon from Africa Beast Safaris. Simon booked accommodation, tours and travel, and either shepherded us himself or arranged transportation as necessary. We decided to book with Simon because he had great reviews, his quotation was very clear and he was responsive in all our pre-arrival communications. Our experience lived up to his excellent reputation and we loved our holiday at Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park. Simon was friendly and attentive with a great sense of humour, responding to our requests and making sure we were enjoying ourselves. My wife and I are very happy to recommend Simon and his company. PS Ask him about the statue Elise bought at Victoria Falls if you'd like a giggle.

        This was amazing! The dinner cruise starts about one hour before sunset, so we were on the river during sunset. We saw an elephant crossing / swimming across the entire river. The captain of the boat was very willing to turn the boat around so that we could all watch. The food was delicious. The drinks were excellent. The staff were very friendly and attentive to any needs. Overall, a wonderful experience!

        They canceled our reservation a few days before arrival without any reasons.
        Hopefully we found another dinner cruise to the best company around (this is what our lodge said to us) with Pure africa.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
