Reviews of Africa Beast Safaris

Simon is so personable and helpful.

Simon seems to always be available and takes great care of his clients. I had a great experience in Chobe and the river cruise was excellent.

Excellent trustworthy services

Simon helped us with airport transfer and organising camping safari experience in Chobe National park. He has been very punctual and very trustworthy organiser and helped us even with fixing some of our unexpected issues both in Botswana and Zimbabwe. Our luggage was due to be picked up from the lodge that we stayed but got stuck inside after hours. He helped us with all the logistics which wasn’t even his job but his mentality towards customer service is just exceptional and always made sure we were ok. He is also very flexible and also always gives very quick response as well so that we don’t need to worry about anything while we are on holiday. He has been always there for us. The quality of the experiences is also fantastic. Boat cruise that we had in Chobe river and game drives were pretty much like a private tour and it was not in massive boat. So it made it easier to ask questions to knowledgeable guide, learned a lot about wildlife and we had great time there. Comparing with other boats we saw on the river, it was just perfect size to quietly be close to the wildlife and not scaring the animals off. Big boats are like 2 story ones but our one was for up to 11 people or so. His business is relatively new but his professionalism is far more than exceptional even for me knowing the top level Japanese customer service. I highly recommend him - and I definitely will come back and book with Africa Beast Safaris on other activities ! Thank you Simon for everything.

Amazing safari experience with a very good care

I have enjoyed really much my safari, we saw so many animals every day, also wild dogs and new born elephant baby. Simon took a very good care of me all the time. Thank You very much!

Amazing 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, perfectly planned adventure!

Simon put together an absolutely stunning trip of Zimbabwe for me. Gave him a rough outline of the top two things I wanted, the number of days I had and he returned promptly with the perfect trip that fit the budget! 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. 7 days/6 nights 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!

Thank you Saimon, for organizing an awsome, memorable time!!!

I had one of the best and life time travel experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana, hosted by Saimon . As a solo traveler, its always finding difficulties and challanging to organize the safaris and travel packages. Great communication since planning and organising the safaris with Saimon until the big day has been arrived. He was very flexible in organizing my tour as I love wild life photography, so I spend additional 2 more days in Chobe National Park. The Victoria falls was beautiful, on every angle. Chobe National park, was beyond my imagination. It had its own uniqueness, Specially the boat drive on Chobe river. Its an awesome place for bird watching. I always prefer to choose camping tour, for its own uniqueness(stay with nature). But the camping in Chobe safari Lodge was the best out of all... it was splendid. Definitely will do again with my family, as they will really love it.

Amazing 5 day Victoria Falls and Chobe day trip, and 3 Day Camping Chobe Camping Trip

Simon has a small 4 person team which assures that each member is the best that they can be. Each employee was very welcoming and knew so much about the surrounding areas culture and history. I would say every part of the trip was very well organized and the accommodations made were pleasant. This trip blew away all expectations that I had, which I mostly contribute to the services provided by Simon and his team. They were always there for any excursion pick-up or transfer to assure everything went smoothly and truly made us feel like family. The entire trip was beautiful from the Victoria Falls tour lead by Thulie to the many game drives lead by an associate in Botswana, Gake. We saw so much of the beautiful scenery Zimbabwe and Botswana have to offer as well as many animals. We went during February which isn't usually recommended as its the start of the rainy season however we had fairly good weather most of the time! Some of the benefits to this were fewer tourists in the lodges and many baby animals, nothing cuter than baby elephants sucking on their trunks like pacifiers. Overall, I highly recommend booking with Africa Beast Safaris as Simon and his team make you feel like family and work extremely hard at making sure every part of your trip is enjoyable so you can relax and see the beauty of these countries.

Flexible and excellent tour operator!

We had an excellent and great time on our two days tour from Victoria Falls to Chobe NP. Simon was a responsive and flexible operator so that we felt in very good hands. He did his utmost that we were happy and things were really good. We can warmly recommend his good service.

Amazing 6 days in 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.

Unforgettable Zimbabwe safari 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!

Simon is passionate about giving you the best holiday.

My trip was awesome! Simon was great, from the time of booking to the actual holiday. Being a solo traveller and first time in Africa having Simon look after me and all of the logistics and suggesting and booking activities for me, it allowed me to enjoy my holiday. Thank you Simon!

Simon of Africa Beast Safari is the best!

By accident we came upon Africa Beast Safari when we were on a world cruise in early April, 2024. Simon who runs Africa Beast Safari is incredible! He responded to our inquiry promptly and professionally and we booked 6 days...Victoria Falls, Chobe Nat'l Park and Hwange Nat'l Park. Simon took care of literally EVERYTHING...our transfers, hotels, guides, safaris, boat cruises, helicopter ride, Boma dinner and a traditional village tour. Every guide was on time and professional. We always felt safe and we had an absolute BLAST! Our accommodations were amazing and the food excellent! We saw so many animals and felt that we had really immersed ourselves into this beautiful country and its people. Simon even took us to dinner and we got to know this amazing man who is now our friend for life. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime Simon is you man! We highly recommend Africa Beast Safari!!

Seamless and lovely adventures

From the day I booked to the day we left everything was so easy. Simon was incredibly responsive with any questions I had before arrival which put some of the anxiety of the trip planning at ease. We had a few very small hiccups but Simon was always responsive and available to resolve anything. The night we showed up we checked in and he has already arranged a sunset dinner cruise on the Zambei which was absolutely fantastic. The next morning he has arranged a tour of Victoria Falls and after we sat down so we could pick and arrange any remaining activities for our stay. We stayed 3 nights in Hwange and did many games drives which was amazing. I had booked an extra 2 nights myself at a completely seperate location in Victoria falls and Simon graciously booked us a Chobe day trip and a trip to devils pool from there and still made sure we had a ride to the airport. The weather was incredibly hot (37 C / 100 F) but would 100% go through them again!
