5An amazing animal experience
I would highly recommend this trip! We were picked up (on time) from our guest house and taken to the border (Zambia/Botswana) our driver told us exactly what to expect and where to go. as we're canadian we didn't have to pay for a visa, but i understand that some nationalities do. our driver passed us off to our guide. one of the downsides was having to wait around for 45 mins. to meet up with others who were joining the trip. Our guide was great and tried to find the best locations for the animals. we saw tons of impala, elephants and giraffe, as well as a few lions, water buck, baboons, hippos and tons of bird life. Our driver would try and get as as close to the animals as he could without endangering them or us. After 3 hours we had a pit stop for water/soft drinks and the "bush toilet". We were then taken to a hotel for our buffet lunch. the lunch was rather chaotic as there were many groups there. the wait staff weren't very friendly. you are charged for all drinks (including water) but the food is included in the trip cost. the food was ok. We had about 35 mins to eat and then were taken down to a small speed boat. our driver was amazing at getting us REALLY close to the animals and was knowledgable about most of the wildlife. Just a warning you may get a little wet from spray etc. We saw way more animals from the boat and got to watch several elephant herds cross the river. Amazing day!
5The best day of my life
This was the most fantastic experience. We saw lions close up! The very unusual sighting of a Marshal Eagel eating his prey and THEN an African Wild cat disturbed him and went off with his prey. We were very fortunate
5Wonderful experience! Saw lots of animals thanks to our game scout driver!
Top notch! Well organized- lots included!
5Dependable Cherish Safari
Thank you for the amazing experiences! We had a wonderful time on all the tours and activities you arranged for us. We have fallen in love with this beautiful continent and hope to return many more times in the future. Your drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, and highly professional, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you again for a memorable experience. We’ll see you soon.
4A well organised day trip to Botswana Chobe Park
The organisation of the day was complex but smooth, driver from hotel to Botswana border, quick nip to Zimbabwe border to get other guests, then into the game drive vehicle. Quite a climb in and out of the vehicle (no steps or ladder). 3 hr drive in Chobe, only toilet stop was in the bush. Then a 15 min drive to lunch which was at a lovely hotel but was busy, chaotic and the low light of the trip. Afternoon was a trip on the river in a lovely small boat, albeit about 6 others took the same route.
5Best first safari!!!
Our first time to Africa, and our first safari. It is worth every penny! Our driver to and from our hotel to the border was so kind, and informative... guiding us through the border process. Our land safari guide/driver was Simon. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Snacks had vegan options as well as the lunch buffet. Yay!!! Our river guide was also quite knowledgeable and fun! If you've never been on a safari, this is the best one for first timers, and those who've been before.

About Livingstone
Livingstone is a Zambian town on the Zambezi River, a few kilometres from Victoria Falls, with a colonial centre, wildlife and river adventures.
Livingstone stands on the northern bank of the Zambezi, about ten kilometres from Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Smoke That Thunders. The town grew after the railway arrived in 1905 and was capital of Northern Rhodesia until 1935. It is named after David Livingstone, who in 1855 became the first European to see the falls, and the Livingstone Museum holds his letters and local history.
