Zambia Tour Companies

The team from Lochinvar went above and beyond to make our stay complete. Head Tour Guide Finnes and driver Eric were super. We had to do a lot of driving to our destination but everything was professionally handled and every detail covered.

AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST! Our Lower Zambezi tour was a disaster from start to finish. Mainly because of our guide Mark's incompetence and lack of consideration. Despite booking three months in advance, everything seemed to be organised on the fly, disrupting our experience. Mark was more interested in sleeping in, networking, and handling personal tasks than in giving us a quality safari. He even put our lives at risk by ignoring instructions about how to handle a situation where an elephant charged toward us. The transportation, tents, and meals were inadequate - tents which are too small for anyone over 5’9 to fit in and dry bread for lunch. The advertised itinerary was ignored, and we missed out on key experiences due to Mark's poor planning and coordination. We had to do all the work of setting up and breaking down camp while Mark sat around and went for a shower. They also used our photos on social media without our permission to advertise "happy customers" when that was far from the truth. DO NOT use this company. They do not care about their clients. We have been seeking compensation for the Lower Zambezi tour and compensation for the stress and disappointment caused by their ineptitude, but they have been ignoring us for months.

Loved everything about this tour, would do it again.

My first time in Africa. I liked the look of the trip but had not especially researched each area and country beforehand. So many unforgettable moments - from getting close to the big animals in places like Chobe, to the sheer expanse of the desert landscapes in Namibia, to the wonderful Canyon Roadhouse in Namib, and the fun with pelicans while ostensibly dolphin watching nr Wallvis Bay. And then some - the beautiful surroundings of Cape Town and 'sweetest' accommodation. The guides got us through some very testing moments - from bus failure nr Rundu, followed by a dash to Etosha, and other serious incidents, in addition to driving us over immense distance >5Kkm, over untarmacced roads, and providing varied meals, mostly after a long days drive and setting up camp.

Very proffesional operation in the whole trip, knowledgeable guide and absolutely reliable company

The guides were excellent as were accommodations . I thought I was going to be on a small group tour but was alone most of the trip . I would have preferred a group as travel in Namibia entails many very long drives . A group trip would have provided conversation and company during those long drives .
