Safari Game Drive Zambezi National Park

Really enjoyed our stay in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe. My family really liked the guide sense of humor McD was very much knowledge. Considering that October is Zimbabwe's hottest month our guide was able to change our itinerary so that it suites the temperatures 🌡.

Zambezi national park ihas abudant wildlife and game

I had a chance to visit Victoria falls once again and booked again with galapa safaris and fortunate enough we saw a lot of game

One of the best times to visit Victoria falls in October during summer where you are able to do the devils pool livingstone island

The trip was amazing we decided to try a game drive in Victoria falls and it was worthy a try we saw wild dogs and hyenas

The trip was amazing in Zambezi National Park,it was so amazing to see big game like Elephants Zebraz giraffes and hyenas and our guide was well spoken

Masuku organized a best safari in Victoria falls Zambezi national park we saw quite a lot of game including lions and we were very lucky

Our 3 hour safari was nice and we opted for a private trip with my family and we paid about $130 each for private which is quite reasonable And it was worthy because we saw a lot of game in Zambezi national park

Great experience. The driver was very informative and patient with our children. Thank you. Siyabonga

Masuku us, a good tour operator and well organised with welcoming guides I enjoyed their safari very much at Zambezi national park I saw a, lot big game including elephants and buffaloes and lions

The Zambezi national park was splendid we saw lots of wildlife and my husband was happy and our guide was very kind

Great experience, great guide, lots of animals - very exciting!

I’ll start with the good. We did see animals, including giraffes, elephants, zebras, buffalo, jackals, kudu, impala, and warthogs. However, every single sighting was spotted by the guests, not the guide. Peter’s role seemed to be limited to driving the vehicle. He didn’t have binoculars available for guests, and he didn’t even have a pair for himself, so it didn’t feel like he was actively looking for wildlife. If you’re interested in spotting animals, definitely bring your own binoculars and be ready to find them yourself. The low rating for me comes down to the guide’s approach to wildlife and guest safety. At one point, when we were close to a female kudu, Peter began making calling noises and banging on the side of the vehicle in an attempt to get the animal to come closer. A guide should never be encouraging wildlife to approach people. Later, we were within five feet of two baby elephants while their mother was nearby. After seeing the guide call to the kudu earlier, some guests started making calling noises toward the elephants. Peter never corrected them or explained why they shouldn’t do that. Thankfully, nothing happened, but the situation could have become dangerous very quickly. A guide should be setting the example for respectful wildlife viewing and making guest safety the priority. Included photos to show the distance of us to the animals when the calling noises were made. The timing of the tour was also disappointing. Pickup for everyone was scheduled for 6:00 a.m. I was picked up first at 6:08, the second guests weren’t picked up until 6:28, and the final family wasn’t picked up until 6:35. When the last group got picked up, they were visibly frustrated and said they had been waiting in their hotel lobby since 6:00. Because the tour started so late, it also finished much later than advertised. We were supposed to be done by 9:00 a.m., but the first guests weren’t dropped off until around 9:40, and I wasn’t dropped off until 10:10. One family had another activity scheduled afterward and expressed that they were upset about being late. Overall, I think a short game drive in Zambezi National Park can be a nice activity if you’re simply hoping to see a few common animals and enjoy being outdoors. It’s probably best suited for families with young children or visitors who are moderately interested in wildlife. If you’re hoping for an engaging guide who prioritizes the animals safety and yours, someone who actively tracks animals, or a more serious safari experience, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Peter was very knowledgeable and very informative. On other game drives we did not see Zebra or Jackal's but we got to see them here including Elephants etc. Was cole before the sun came up, late June.

Our game drive was fantastic at Zambezi national park We thought to try it on our last day in Victoria falls we contacted the operator directly and booked us a private safari me and my family only and the park was very amazing we saw lions leopard and buffaloes We recommend Zambezi

Arranged a game drive at the Zambezi National park after seeing positive reviews on Trip Advisor. I’m so happy I did as myself and my partner saw loads of wildlife including many of the Big 5. It was a fantastic few hours that was made even better because we had Mufudzi as our guide. He was so knowledgable and passionate about his job that I would recommend asking for him when booking - honestly you won’t regret it. Would recommend this safari/game drive for all.

The Zambezi National Park game drive was amazing. It was easy to book direct with the operator. The tour guide, Peter, is very kind and knowledgable about the game drive. We saw some zebras, buffalos, elephants playing in the waterholes, warthogs, and a lion!!! It was a wonderful experience plus snacks up the hill overlooking the park.

We come to Victoria Falls often but had never done a game drive in the Zambezi NP. After this drive, we will definitely do it again! Very professional and knowledgeable guide and on point/ on time organisation. The National Park itself is very beautiful and has a great variety of game and birds. Our coffee break took place at a breathtaking lookout point, overlooking an open area and a pan with lots of zebras, warthogs and a variety of water birds. We definitely recommend and will be back ourselves!

The safari game drive in Zambezi national park is so wonderful abd underestimated but we had a very crazy adventure with Mac

_Jan 2026 | Victoria Falls + Zambezi Game Drive_ •McDonald was AMAZING. Did Vic Falls tour + morning game drive and he made both unforgettable. •Why book McDonald: ✓ Perfect timing at the Falls for rainbows + best photo spots ✓ Spotted a leopard before anyone else on our game drive ✓ So knowledgeable — animals, history, culture. Answered every question ✓ Professional, funny, safe, and genuinely passionate ✓ Clean vehicle, water provided, helped with everything •Felt like exploring with a local friend who’s also a wildlife expert. If you’re in Zimbabwe, ask for McDonald. Worth every cent. _Traveled as a couple_

Very good driver and excursion. 100% recommend. It was worth the money. We were lucky and got to see many animals, zebras, elephants, buffalos etc. And the comments and explanations were super useful.

The service was excellent,enjoyed the view,understood every detail 🫡❤️

We had an epic adventure with you thank you ,game drives were top notch .The guide Macdonald was absolutely fantastic knew the bush like the back of his hand and made sure we saw it all.

The game drive was very nice in Zambezi National Park we saw lots of elephants drinking and zebras the game drive was worthy it

It was a very beautiful safari. We were able to see giraffes, buffalo, many elephants, and zebras. It was really wonderful. Peter, our driver, took great care of us and was very attentive. It was truly a beautiful day. Everything was perfect. We also had a small aperitif by the Zambezi River, and it was absolutely incredible. We highly recommend it.

Mac was indeed a good guide we were impressed

The experience was very amazing we enjoyed the sightings with Mac

Zambezi national park is very magical we enjoyed the game lots of elephants and close encounters made the whole thing fabulous

We contacted the Galapa safaries , and they responded to us , we did book a game drives to Zambezi National Park with my family from Bulawayo. We were a family Of 9 , most of my family members it was their first encounter to do a safari in their lifetime . OUR Guide Macdonald took us on a beautiful leisurely afternoon game drives, and it was so great. We did see lots of game , the likes of elephants , buffalo, giraffes, zebras, kudus and other plains Game, also we were privileged to the see beautiful cats the Lions . Our guide was knowledge in flora and fauna and also our evening sunset sundowners spot was the most highlight of the trip. Having been given an ice cold Zambezi beer also over glancing on the mighty Zambezi river . We do recommend the galapa safaries from our previous experience with my family

A massive thanks for making it a day to remember, your knowledge and humor had us grinning from ear to ear spotting the big five and sharing those stories made it truly special 🙏

Thank you to masuku for organising and recommending a good trip to Zambia we enjoyed devil's pool and rhino experience.

We had our game drive in Zambezi park and we had a lot of fun.The guide shared a lot of information and his experiences in the bush we loved it We saw lions,kudus,buffaloes and zebras and other small antelopes

We enjoyed our safari Mac recommended the other side of the park chamabondo and it was worthy a try we saw a lot of big game,

It was a amazing game drive at zambezi National park and our guide was very every awesome we enjoyed i recommended galapa

Zambezi national park was very good we liked it so much we saw quite a number of wildlife and it was our first time to be on a safqri but we enjoyed everything

The trip stated badly, we were not picked up at the time we were supposed to. We phoned the company several times, they claimed they knew nothing about our booking. We were finally picked an hour and fifteen minutes late, consider the trip was supposed to be three hours long, we ended up with a rushed trip of half the time it was supposed to be. We were not happy to say the least.

Sightseeing views in the park were magical we enjoyed and everything was well organized including the guide was good and charismatic

My husband and kids enjoyed Zambezi national park and we had a an unforgettable experience in the park and enjoyed the snacks that were prepared

Zambezi national prk is one of the best parks i have been in Its more natural than artificial which is more of what we looked for and my family qe enjoyed the safari and we recommend Zambezi
