Reviews of Zicasso's South Africa Safari Tours & Vacations
Based on 1272 verified traveler reviews.
All the details for our trip worked perfectly. It took a long time to get the details finalized, as we had not been to Africa before, and the attention to our needs and wants by Zicasso's travel company was appreciated, especially as we are in our 70s.

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.
