Tour di un giorno al Parco nazionale Chobe e Hwange

After carefully reviewing several different providers (including the major commercial online one’s), we selected “Proviem Safaris” for two safari’s based from Victoria Falls. One to Chobe (Botswana) and one for Hwange. We asked each of the tour operators the same questions and Proviem Safaris quickly provided the most comprehensive responses, while offering a very competitive quote (one other of the other operators even said they would select it for that price!) We also knew that Proviem Safaris was a small company based in Zimbabwe and wanted to ensure they would be able to keep all the profits (which we have done before for activities in other countries). Once selected, we contacted Musawenkosi several times before our trip to confirm all details and requirements for the trips. He always politely responded with clear and helpful communications, which gave us confidence in him. On the day of the first Safari (Chobe), Musawenkosi arrived on time and with a clean vehicle to transfer us to the boarder. He remained with us during the boarder formalities and ensured we were clear of the process. He led us to the Safari guide and remained with us the whole day. The actual safari run by another Botswana team and the day was great – with a morning land safari by jeep, lunch, followed by a water safari. We arrived back to our hotel at around the time Musawenkosi had already told us. The second safari to Hwange was a very early start and Musawenkosi recommended we order a packed breakfast from our hotel. He was comfortable with us eating this in his clean car during the long, difficult and bumpy drive to Hwange. As before, Musawenkosi took us to a local guide and remained with us the whole day, returning us to our hotel. We paid for each safari on the day (with $ dollars), as agreed in advance directly to Musawenkosi. As the 2 trips were successful, during our drive back to the hotel we decided to book a short morning helicopter flight over the falls through Proviem Safaris. Musawenkosi gave us a good price, but requested payment in advance and that another person would collect us in the morning. We now had confidence in Musawenkosi and accepted this condition. True to his word, the helicopter team arrived to pick us up on time and the flight was great. We would recommend using Proviem Safaris/Musawenkosi to help arrange and book any activity in the Victoria Falls area.
