Botswana Safari Guide

Words cannot begin to describe the experiences we had on our African adventure, but I will try.

While we have traveled extensively, this was indeed the "trip of a lifetime." Seeing the wildlife so close you could almost reach out and touch them (although we were certainly told to keep all arms and legs inside the safari vehicles!) was an experience not to be missed. The guides were beyond passionate and knowledgeable. We gained a greater appreciation for nature and the way of the wild. The African sunrises and sunsets are simply magical.

As far as the trip planning, everything was seamless and we had so many bespoke experiences that I cannot imagine we would have ever been able to plan and execute on our own. The lodges were fantastic, in gorgeous locations, and we met many like-minded travelers during shared dinners. The helicopter flight over Victoria Falls was breathtaking. The villa in Mozambique was over-the-top and a perfect way to end our trip to try to process all that we experienced during our three-week experience.

The planning process was easy, we were kept well informed of our options, and once the trip was closer, communication with the team at Zicasso's travel company answered our last-minute questions perfectly.

We will absolutely be recommending this travel company to our friends who want to do this itinerary next year.

Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful to work with: thorough, responsive, and endlessly patient throughout the planning of our trip. When we had to make last-minute changes due to circumstances beyond our control, she handled everything seamlessly and still managed to make the trip amazing and memorable.

She's extremely knowledgeable and we'd recommend her without hesitation. We'd definitely recommend her.

I’m sure this gets old, but our trip was amazing and life-changing!

Zicasso's travel company, as well as the people who worked on planning and scheduling our trip, was simply great. Our trip went off without a hitch and compared to how we usually travel, it seemed too easy at times; we didn’t even need to remember our itinerary because there was someone always there to remind us what or where we were going and to help us at border crossings or with plane flights. I don’t want to write "idiot proof," but pretty much, it was… in a good way.

The information and instructions on what we needed to have for our trip were easy to understand and completed easily because of the information and guidance provided by the folks at the travel company.

Zicasso's travel specialist was outstanding from the very beginning. From our first conversation, she took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and we felt heard every step of the way. She used her expertise to design a custom itinerary that perfectly matched our interests and expectations.

Once we were on the trip, everything was executed flawlessly. Every transfer, activity, lodge, and trusted local partner worked together seamlessly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience. It was evident that she had built strong relationships with exceptional vendors and lodges.

We would not hesitate to recommend this travel specialist to our friends and family, and we look forward to using her services for future adventures.

What an amazing trip! Everything at MalaMala was first-class. Our daily guide was extremely professional and very engaging. The emphasis on photography during our stay was a unique concept. Our time in the hide at our lodge near Victoria Falls proved to be one of our trip highlights.

Our experiences were beyond our wildest dreams. I highly recommend using Zicasso's travel company. We explained what type of experiences we were looking for and the places we wanted to see. Every little detail was taken care of. We were in great contact with our travel specialists through the entire process. If we had any questions or concerns before we left on our trip, we would email and/or call. Their response was prompt. I couldn't imagine not going with this travel company.
