Great friendly service, we felt so looked after!
5/5

From the planning stage to our actual holiday the communication from Exec African travel and tours was fantastic.
Manuel planned our itinerary so we got to experience everything we desired.
Our tour guide Lee was waiting at the airport and escorted us to our private air conditioned vehicle, with a cool bottle of water waiting. While driving to our accommodation he confirmed our evening activity Dinner on the Zambezi River and what time he would be picking us up. On arrival at our hotel he bought our suitcases to reception and made sure we had a smooth check in. We stayed at Dzimbahwe lodge Victoria Falls. The lodge was small and fairly basic but was a good base for our up coming activities. We had a swim then prepared for our sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Lee picked us up and transferred us to the beautiful boat where we had an amazing dinner with beautiful wines cruising the Zambezi while seeing the wildlife in and around the river. Returning back to port Lee once again was waiting to take us back to our accommodation during this time he confirmed pick up time in the morning for our Chobe National Park Safari.
After an early breakfast Lee picked us up and transferred us to the Botswana border and handed us over to our Safari guide Cobra. After border formalities we enjoyed the Safari seeing many animals we had an included lunch at a very nice lodge then we enjoyed an afternoon cruise on the Chobe River, not as luxurious as our sunset cruise but very enjoyable. Coming back to the border once again Lee was there waiting for us to take us back to our lodge so we could prepare for our evening activity a special
BOMA Dinner and drum show. The food and entertainment were fantastic the only complaint that I had was that some people were smoking inside the eating area. Once again after our dinner/show our guide Lee was waiting for us to take us safely back to our lodge.
Day 3 we were up early for a morning walk around the falls followed by breakfast then off to do a helicopter ride over the falls, we then returned to our lodge freshened up where we then checked out and started our journey to Hwangi Safari Lodge after checking in to this beautiful lodge we had some lunch and a swim then went on an afternoon Safari adventure. Returning to enjoy the Lodges restaurant for dinner and well deserved sleep.
Day 4 after an early breakfast we had a full game drive with Lazarus he taught us about tracking animal prints and well we ended up having morning tea with a couple of lions that were hanging around a water hole, I had to pinch myself to check that this was really happening. Then off we went again to spot more animals, but returned to the water hole to enjoy watching our lions and a herd of elephants while enjoying our packed lunch. It was an amazing day!
We returned back to the lodge with time to freshen up and enjoy a cocktail before dinner. Lee joined us for dinner on the lawn and we enjoyed telling him about our wonderful safari and lunching with lions.
Sadly after breakfast we had to head back to Victoria Falls for our plane back to Johannesburg.
Lee was an intelligent guide and answered all our questions and was full of interesting information. We were very lucky to have such delightful person look after us, we felt like royalty.
Manuel from Exec African tours and travel coordinated our trip wonderfully I highly recommend this company. Great communication skills and they leave nothing to chance.
We were extremely happy with this part of our 3 week tour of Africa.

An amazing and truly enjoyable tour with Exec Africa
5/5

Exec Africa has responded swiftly and professionally from the moment I requested for a quotation of 4-5 days tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park via Safari Booking. Manuel has crafted a very well organized itinerary at reasonable cost.

Lee (Likwa), our guide for the 5 days in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Zambia was very responsible, punctual and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our trips with him and would highly recommend him and Exec Africa

We had an unforgettable adventure!
5/5

We had an unforgettable adventure! From the dry plains of the Hwange to the lush wetlands of the Okavango Delta, each stop was unique. The Hwange and Chobe game drives were filled with elephant, lion, and even wildebeest sightings. Victoria Falls was a great mid-trip attraction, with stunning views and optional adrenaline activities. The Delta was a peaceful contrast - canoe rides, walking safaris, and great bird watching. The accommodations were of a high standard, a mix of comfort and closeness to nature. Our guide LEE made the trip special with his deep knowledge and attention to detail. The food and service exceeded expectations. The itinerary was well-paced and had a great mix of activities. A must do for wildlife lovers and first-time visitors to Africa. We would happily do it again.

5/5

We had a 10 days tour with Exec Africa. Everything has been perfect from the first day I got in touch with Manuel till the last one when Lee, our guide or better said our buddy, dropped off us at Maun airport. During the tour organization, Manuel was very proactive always providing very detailed and helpful information. During the tour, Lee was organizing everything paying attention to every small details to make our tour an unforgettable experience.

Greatest private tour experience and exceptional service!!
5/5

We completed the 15-Day Southern Africa Safari Adventure with Exec Africa Travel & Tours, and honestly—it exceeded every expectation. From the very first email to the final goodbye, it was an impeccably organised, deeply moving trip.

Manuel our consultant was outstanding. Right from the outset he communicated clearly, adjusted everything to our preferences and made sure we had all the details we needed. His planning felt effortless on our end; whatever we asked, he delivered and with kindness and patience.

Lee our personal guide was simply phenomenal. His knowledge of wildlife, local geography, history, culture all delivered with passion and insight. He made every drive, walk, & activity come alive with stories, observations and moments that felt truly personal. He knew how to find the magic in both the grand vistas and the subtle small details.

Highlights we will never forget:

1. The Okavango Delta—gliding in mokoros, walks through lush river channels, watching wildlife in places so wild and pristine.

2. Moremi Game Reserve— a full day of game drives that brought us close to elephants, big cats, colorful birdlife; just spectacular.

3. Elephant Sands Lodge—waking to elephants at the waterhole, so close yet respectful of the sanctuary of wilderness.

4. Chobe Riverfront & National Park—sunset cruises, early morning game drives, seeing horizons full of wildlife; every light change brought something new.

5. Hwange National Park—we felt the authentic thrill of the African bush, especially on walks and drives made all the difference.

6. Victoria Falls—to finish, like a crescendo. The power, the beauty, the romance of the Falls and the surrounding nature, the hospitality at Pamarah Lodge—it was a perfect ending.

Every accommodation, every transfer, every meal, every included activity was top quality. The itinerary was full but never rushed. We always felt we had space—to rest, to absorb, to reflect.

To anyone wanting more than just a safari, who wants connection, learning, wonder and a sense of place—this tour with Exec Africa is it. Thank you, Manuel, Lee and Exec Africa at large for a lifetime of memories packed into 15 perfect days.

A Perfect Blend of Wildlife, Heritage and Outstanding Service
5/5

We did the 6-Day Best of Zimbabwe Tour with Exec Africa Travel & Tours, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the very first point of contact, the team ensured everything was seamless—smooth transfers, comfortable lodges and a carefully planned itinerary that perfectly balanced wildlife, history and culture. We felt completely supported from start to finish and the level of service provided exceeded our expectations. Our guide Likhwa also known as Lee, was exceptional. More than just a guide, he was a storyteller, a keen observer of wildlife, and a patient companion throughout the tour. His deep knowledge and passion for Zimbabwe made every moment richer, whether spotting elephants and lions on game drives in Hwange National Park or tracking rhinos on foot in Matobo National Park. Every experience felt thoughtfully curated and Lee ensured that we were safe, comfortable and fully immersed in each adventure.

Exploring the Great Zimbabwe ruins with Lee’s insights brought history to life in a way that no book or documentary could. We also enjoyed learning about Bulawayo’s culture and history, all while feeling completely at ease. The pace of the tour was perfect—relaxed enough to absorb every location, yet full of adventure and discovery every day. What impressed us most was the exceptional value for money. Every detail from transfers to accommodations to activities was handled with care, professionalism and attention to detail. Exec Africa Travel & Tours delivered an experience that felt truly premium without feeling inaccessible, making it one of the best travel investments we have ever made. This tour offered a perfect combination of wildlife, heritage, culture, and top-tier service, and we can wholeheartedly recommend Exec Africa Travel & Tours to anyone seeking an unforgettable Zimbabwean adventure.

Seamless, Exciting and Excellent Service from Exec Africa Travel & Tours
5/5

We were a group of friends who booked the 3-Day Victoria Falls & Chobe National Park Tour with Exec Africa Travel & Tours, and it was absolutely fantastic! Everything was perfectly organized , smooth transfers, great accommodation at Kwalape Safari Lodge and top-notch communication from start to finish. Our driver and guide, Mr Handsome, was amazing, friendly, professional and always on time. He made every moment fun and stress-free. In Chobe National Park, our guide Mr Cobra blew us away with his knowledge and sharp eye for wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and even lions up close and in their natural habitat!

The trip offered incredible value for money and outstanding service. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Exec Africa Travel & Tours and if you can, ask for Mr Handsome and Mr Cobra. They will make your adventure truly unforgettable!

Amazing company with attention to small details!
5/5

Exec Africa were flawless from first contact with Manuel to being dropped at the airport by Lee. Manuel was so helpful with the booking process, all questions were answered quickly, all information was given clearly & concisely and he was an absolute pleasure to communicate with! Exec Africa planned our whole trip intricately & it showed. They paid so much attention to the little details, and with a personal touch. The whole trip flowed well and we all had the most incredible time. Our guide, Lee was phenomenal! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide, he really is a superstar. He drove so well on the awful roads, safely and still answering questions & pointing out things of interest. He was so good with our 9 year old daughter too, he & Florence had a very sweet bond. It honestly felt like we were travelling with a long time friend. He’s knowledgeable, kind, funny and honestly couldn’t do enough for all of us. Especially when one of our group fell ill, he sorted it within an hour & even sat with our friend while the Dr was with her. The highlights of our trip were definitely the Sunset Zambezi river cruise, Victoria falls, Hwange Safari lodge & Matabo. We saw so much, laughed, cried & made memories to last a lifetime. I would definitely use Exec Africa again & would recommend them to anyone thinking of doing a Safari!

Attentive, organized, punctual agent prioritizing road safety, giving peace of mind on long journey.
5/5

Our 7-day, 6-night trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana was thoughtfully planned and well suited for traveling with both children and elderly family members. Communication with our tour guide, Lee, was smooth and effortless—he understood our needs clearly, especially when it came to food preferences, comfort, and safety. We enjoyed truly exotic and authentic safari experiences, with Hwange being especially unforgettable, as large herds of elephants gathered just outside our lodge, along with sightings of zebras, wildebeest, and many other unexpected moments. One of the highlights was an unplanned safari adventure with Lee to spot the rare and endangered painted dogs near our lodge, where we were fortunate to capture incredible close-up photos. It was a deeply rewarding holiday that beautifully balanced careful planning with exciting surprises.

Exec Africa was responsive, professional, competitively priced, and always served with a smile
5/5

I had a great experience using Africa Exec for a Chobe Safari day trip, airport transfer, and a cultural dining experience. Manuel my contact person was very personable, responsive, helpful, professional and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and enjoyable travel experience. The Africa exec vehicles are brand new and very comfortable to travel in, especially compared to some of the local taxis. I would not hesitate recommending using Exec Africa to book your various activities around Victoria falls and Chobe. Based on my experience they provide the best prices as well as a quality experience
