Absolutely perfect experience!
If I had to choose only one word to describe this team, it would be a 'Professional'.
I met Archie & Muza for a 7-day trip. They gave me an immediate answer and crystal clear information from scratch. Every moment of the trip was very well organized by them. Everything on my itinerary was exactly the same as it actually was. They always double checked important issues to prevent falling behind the scheduled plan.
At the same time, they showed me great hospitality. They alway paid attention to me to make sure whether I was feeling comfortable with everything on the trip or not. And they also never lost their sense of humor. Any place was okay as long as we were together.
It was my first time going to Africa. Besides, currently in Korea, it is very hard to get up-to-date information about travel to the African continent. I was very anxious regarding this trip for a number of reasons such as safety, visa issuance, disease and etc. But since I met them, everything was going to be easy. I enjoyed myself very much during the tour.
If I come back to Africa, I'll definitely go on a trip with them again. Hopefully see you soon Muza and Archie!

Recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris
This is a well-organised and excellent itinerary to deep dive Botswana and Victoria Fall. I traveled to Zimbabwe by myself at the end of Aug and this trip went far beyond my expectations. I spent nine days exploring the Victoria Fall, Okavango Delta, Chobe Natinal Park and Elephant Sands. This was the first time I did safari in Africa and saw packs of lions, elephants, Hippo and even lepard, which is rarely to be found even in Botswana! My accommodations and meals were fabulous and the staff at each safari camp went above and beyond to give me a memorable experience.
Archie provide detailed and well-designed planning before the trip. He was quick to respond and was willing to answer questions. I also want to recognize Tafara's effort to smooth and enrich the whloe trip. He redesigned my schedule in Victoria Fall to accommodate every activities since my flight was delayed, helped with the visa issue at custom of Botswana and selected the best guide for my Safari. He was exceptionally nice and helpful. I will be recommending Archie/Tafara to anybody who is interested in exploring Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Excellence All-Around
I recently used Africa Uncovered for a week-long stay in Botswana, and what a fantastic experience it was.
Archie was promptly communicative every step of the way, and was so helpful in creating a safari plan that included every location I wanted to see. The great level of communication was especially important to me as I was a solo female traveler—I needed a company could trust.
The guide for the trip, Mr. Tafara, was simply wonderful. Professional, knowledgeable, and always there to help to ensure there were no issues. Mr. Tafara went above and beyond to make sure we got the best experience—for example, I mistakenly had not allotted time to visit Victoria Falls and it was not part of the safari itinerary I chose. When Mr. Tafara realized this, and given how close we were to the Falls, he arranged a visit and walk-through of the Falls while he knowledgeably narrated. He did this, and yet we managed to not miss out on any time anywhere else! He built in extra time throughout the trip so that we would be punctual to our destination, but also could stop and enjoy wildlife viewing on the journey. (Yes, you will see LOTS of wildlife during the car rides!) The timing and planning were meticulous.
This trend held true throughout the trip. For the entire week, he maximized our adventures while keeping our comfort and safety in mind.
Because Africa Uncovered contracts with local safari guides at every park/location, we received specialized, local knowledge for each and every location. It was fantastic. Mr. Tafara would be up and awake with us at 6am to ensure the local guide picked us up for the safari, and when we returned to the lodge, Mr. Tafara would be punctually waiting for us. We would then have a meal together to review the safari and get briefed on the plan for the following day. Everything was seamless and impeccably done.
The lodges were beautiful.
The food was delicious.
The safaris were spectacular.
Africa Uncovered has clearly established itself as one of the best. I highly recommend them for your African adventures!

Life changing experience, thank you!
My experience with África Uncovered Safaris certainly deserves a 5-star rating. Our guide Muza was a wealth of knowledge about the area, sharing insights that enriched our journey. Norman, another guide, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel well taken care of. The transportation was perfect, and the choice of lodges was impeccable. This personalized and informative approach made the trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend África Uncovered Safaris for an authentic African adventure.

We received outstanding, personalized highly recommended service!
I selected this company based on online reviews. From the beginning Archie answered every question and issue without delay and to the best of his understanding. Our companion, guide and driver Muza went above and beyond to make our trip safe, comfortable, memorable, and truly a trip of a lifetime. Knowing that we were vegetarian he made sure that every meal was to our liking! I would highly recommend this company to anyone that wants to explore beautiful Africa!

A great day in Chobe, delivered very efficiently by friendly and expert people.
I chose this company to book from the UK because the information on their website was clear and comprehensive. During and after booking they were very responsive to emails and on the day they delivered everything (and more) that was promised.
The journey to and from Chobe was punctual and comfortable, and the border crossings were straightforward with staff there to help.
Morning coffee and lunch were excellent in very nice surroundings near the river.
The river cruise was brilliant and NOT to be missed, with countless close views of animals, birds and reptiles and a charismatic and very knowledgeable guide (Mr T); a completely different experience from a land drive. The afternoon game drive was also really good and I had the best views of lion I have ever seen.

Excellent tour, incredible human quality
Where to start? I can gladly say the 8-day tour we did with Africa Uncovered Safaris has been one of the best experiences in my life. The company is relatively new, but they are a great group of professionals. Archie was very informative via email since we contacted the operator and it facilitated things, bookings, etc. Tafara was our guide and we are extremely happy to have enjoyed an incredible experience with him. We shared many beautiful, mystical moments with him. He is always smiling, laughing, joking, a good driver and he is very flexible with timetables. Our tour started in Victoria Falls and Zambezi river, then we moved to Chobe, Elephant Sands, Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi Salt pans and then back in Victoria Falls. I really reccommend this 7-8 day experience as you can get to see lots of animals and have a general idea of the main natural parks in Botswana. The quality of food in the different lodges was quite good, plus the accommodation was great. The tour we chose had a final price of ca. 2700 USD, which is a good quality price for what you get. We have been really lucky to see the majority of the animals in the different game drives, natural parks, even on the main roads. I can perfectly say we have seen >200 elephants, many hippos, jirafes, crocodiles, zebras, many types of antilopes, tens of birds (including vultures and eagles) species, wildebeests, a few lions and a leopard (in Chobe), rhinos (in Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Zambia). The majority of the wild life you will see in Chobe, so I really reccomend doing all possible activities in that immersive natural park. The Okavango delta will bring a great experience with locals that use mokoros and the landscape is stunning. Salt and Elephant pans are magical places. I really reccomend doing Devil's pool as an optional activity, what an adrenaline shot! This is overall an experience that you cannot miss if you are fan of nature, animals and want to see how Safaris work. We will repeat for sure in the future!

Wonderful Tour with Amazing Guide
My parents and I went on the tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe River in Botswana for 7 days with Africa Uncovered Safaris. The booking process was very easy and Archie was a great contact. Very responsive and answered all of our questions. From the moment we landed in Victoria Falls, our guide Musa was incredible! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were well looked after and were able to do all the activities we wanted. One of our travelers ended up having a medical issue on the trip and both Musa and Archie were amazing support, getting us medical treatment immediately and their adaptability allowed us to rearrange our trip to still insure a fantastic experience. Even with the slight hiccup, we only missed one day of activities and all travelers were very happy with our experience overall. The quality of their service has been unmatched to any other tours we have taken before and the price point was very reasonable. All meals were included and the lodgings were great. I highly recommend their services and would use them again in the future!

Amazing trip to Chobe park!
How lucky I am that I turned to this company to organize a safari in Chobe Park! Archie promptly replied by mail and we quickly agreed on all the nuances. I am very grateful that he offered a transfer from the airport to our lodge and we did not have to look for a taxi and get there on our own. Norman and Simba met us at the airport - very cool and sincere guys! The organization of the safari is simply on top! Everything is clear and punctual. We really liked everything! On the day of departure, they also arranged for us to transfer to the airport, for which, again, we are very grateful to them, saying goodbye to them we just cried, how warm and sweet everything was On our next visit to Zimbabwe, we know exactly where to turn!!! Many thanks for everything;-)
