African Safari Tours and Vacation Packages

Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing itinerary that fit all of our family’s needs. They were responsive to any changes we wanted to make ahead of time and to any questions we had. We were seamlessly cared for from the moment we landed in Kenya.

As you know, we had difficulty deciding between Zicasso's travel specialists for this trip.

As it turned out, the specialist we went with and her team did an exceptional job planning and executing all the details necessary for a memorable trip for me and my family.

I really appreciated how detail-oriented she was and how responsive she was to inquiries pre-trip and, when necessary, during the trip.

She deserves the highest recommendation from the experienced travelers that we are.

The best trip ever—Zicasso’s tour company made it unforgettable!

From start to finish, our experience with this travel company was nothing short of exceptional. We booked a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Uganda and Kenya, with the highlights being gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and safari game drives across the vast savannas of Kenya. This travel company exceeded every expectation we had.

Pre-Trip Planning and Communication

The travel company stood out right away with their responsiveness and attention to detail. Every question was answered quickly and thoughtfully, and the itinerary was crafted to match exactly what we hoped for—an authentic, adventurous journey with comfort, safety, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We always felt well taken care of, even before the trip began.

Uganda–Gorilla Trekking

The highlight in Uganda—and of our trip—was, without a doubt, the trek to see the mountain gorillas. Our guides and trackers were extraordinary, making sure we were prepared and knew what to expect. The moment we found ourselves just feet away from a gorilla family in the wild was beyond words—humbling, emotional, and unforgettable.

The travel company chose excellent accommodations, blending comfort with proximity to the parks.

Kenya–Safari Adventures

In Kenya, we explored some of the most iconic safari landscapes. Our guides were not only skilled drivers, but also walking encyclopedias of wildlife knowledge. We were lucky to witness elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, leopards, and even the elusive cheetah—all up close, with plenty of time to observe and take it all in.

The safari camps were beautiful and thoughtfully chosen, offering amazing food, warm hospitality, and the perfect balance between comfort and adventure.

Guides and Team

The travel company’s team truly elevated this trip. Every guide we met was passionate, friendly, and dedicated to making sure we had the best possible experience. We felt safe and cared for every step of the way, and their expertise allowed us to see and learn so much more than we could have imagined.

Overall Experience

This trip exceeded every expectation. It wasn’t just a vacation; it was an adventure that touched us deeply and left us with memories we will cherish forever. This travel company’s professionalism, personal touch, and deep knowledge of East Africa made all the difference.

If you are considering a safari or gorilla-trekking experience, we wholeheartedly recommend this travel company. They deliver not just a trip, but a truly life-changing journey.

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Zicasso’s travel agent helped us plan our South African adventure and it was the perfect vacation. Everything went completely flawlessly and all the accommodations were fantastic. The communication and service she provided were excellent and I just wish she was the person who could plan all of our vacations. We did Cape Town, Kruger, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and it was the ultimate bucket-list trip. Her plan made it the best vacation ever!!!

Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible, nurturing, and professional. We had a relatively short planning duration for our trip, so decisions were on an accelerated timeline, but she was on top of all of our dates and connections, required documents, etc. She answered so many of our questions and made so many recommendations. My aunt and I felt completely at ease, from the time we landed in Cape Town until we flew home.

The tours, drivers, lodging, and safaris that the travel specialist chose for us were perfect. I've already recommended her to a friend for a future trip and I recommend her to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip that is customized to your budget and timeframe.

Overall, this was an exceptionally well-planned and unforgettable trip! Zicasso’s travel specialist did a phenomenal job planning my group trip through South Africa, Mozambique, Mauritius, and Zimbabwe. From the very beginning, the travel specialist listened carefully to my must-haves and worked diligently to craft the itinerary I envisioned. I’m a very vocal person about what I want and she showed incredible patience and professionalism throughout the process. She refined the itinerary until it perfectly matched my expectations, never losing sight of the details that mattered most to me. Planning a group trip is no small task and she handled every concern, whether rooming adjustments or my frequent emails, with grace and efficiency.

One of the qualities I value most in a travel advisor is responsiveness and she excelled here. She was consistently on top of things, keeping me updated at every stage. Even when certain things took longer than expected, she communicated, which I greatly appreciated. Her advice and feedback throughout the planning process were invaluable.

Having organized group trips for my friends for over eight years, I can confidently say she went above and beyond compared to most other advisors I’ve worked with. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made this experience seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend our travel specialist and the travel company. They truly set the standard for excellence in travel planning.
