African Big Cat Safaris

Amazing trip. As first-timers to Africa, planning can be overwhelming. Zicasso’s travel specialist listened, helped us navigate our choices, and delivered a perfect itinerary. From Cape Town to Victoria Falls in Zambia and then Botswana, everything was well planned.

There were many transfers without any issues. I would highly recommend the travel company.

We loved working with Zicasso’s travel company. We were impressed by their firsthand experience. They did a wonderful job on our entire trip. Beautiful hotels, great camps, awesome guides - everything was so well planned, seamless from start to finish! We had a fantastic time and highly recommend them!!

In Botswana, we stayed at a camp in the Okavango Delta - a beautiful camp - everything first-rate - wonderful staff - just loved it!! Our second camp was in Linyanti. We liked that both the camps were just a few rooms. This camp was also very nice! The animal experiences were terrific at both camps. Nice service, great food and lots of it, as you get a lot of snacks throughout the day!

We had gorgeous hotels in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town. Most of the tours were small-group for the four of us, which made it even better to not be in a big group.

In Cape Town, we enjoyed the peninsula, city area, and the wine country. We also enjoyed the Hermanus region.

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.

I had the pleasure of meeting Zicasso's travel specialist and the travel company in 2024. She was delightful over the telephone on our first encounter and we put our trust in her and the travel company to deliver an African travel experience for a family of 25 people.

I am writing the review for all 25 of us. The trip was amazing and a time we will always remember as a family, and it far exceeded five stars. From the moment we touched down in Africa to when we left, every detail was so well coordinated. The lodging accommodations were perfect for our group and the safari plans that the travel company arranged at our safari lodge were fantastic.

The trip took us from Cape Town to a safari to Victoria Falls, and it was extremely nice to always have a point of contact when we traveled.

The travel specialist and the staff listened to the type of trip we were looking for and helped us every step of the way.

They were very prompt in returning every email and communication we sent them. They dotted every i and crossed every t.

I would give the travel company my highest recommendation and would refer any friend or client to them for their travels.

My entire family cannot thank them enough for delivering such a memorable experience for our family.

Great accommodations, unique safari experiences, and great support from Zicasso's travel company along the way.

It was a complicated trip, with 12 people from five years old to 72 and lots of internal African travel and transfers. Sleeping arrangements were challenging on safari with youth. All was handled very well, flawlessly, in fact, for our 50-year-anniversary family adventure! Highly recommended.
