Best Elephant Safaris

From trundling through the forest to splashing in remote riverbanks, elephants are one of the most fascinating animals to see while on an African safari. Watching a single bull or a herd with calves can keep you interested all day, as you observe their intelligent, sociable, and communicative behavior. You can revel in the beauty and unparalleled experience of witnessing these gentle giants in their natural habitat during a custom elephant safari by speaking with a Zicasso travel specialist or by finding inspiration in one of our available sample trips.

South Africa, Zimbabwe Vacation Review: Kruger National Park, Private Tours, Game Drives, 1 Month

Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team far exceeded our expectations, making this a trip of a lifetime. Guides and accommodations were superb. Even though Kruger experienced record rains and floods mere weeks before, we were treated to the "Big Five" on our game drives in the neighboring reserves. We cannot think of anything that needed improvement. Thanks to the travel specialist and team!

Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa Vacation Review: Safari, 9 Nights

The trip was fabulous. It matched the dream we had for our first trip to Africa: the animals, scenery, and people. Zicasso’s travel company was outstanding. They provided wonderful recommendations that matched our wishes and extraordinary attention to detail, so everything went without a hitch.

Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa Vacation Review: Safari, 20 Days

Trip was well organized by Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team. Support in Kenya with my missing luggage was outstanding. Safari tours, city tours, and the respective accommodations more than met our expectations.

South Africa Travel Review: Cape Town, Table Mountain, Safari, 10-Day Trip

Our trip was absolutely AMAZING!! Zicasso’s travel specialist was always quick to respond to all of our questions and worked to design a trip within our budget. All of the arrangements he made for us were just perfect.

We loved all of the accommodations and the private guides in Cape Town for the day tour and hike up Table Mountain were both great.

The safari accommodations and guides were just incredible. The staff at both lodges were so kind and attentive! We saw the Big Five (more than once) and couldn’t believe how close we were able to get to the animals.

Overall, the trip exceeded our expectations!

Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe Trip Review: Safari Camps, Game Drives, Victoria Falls, 2 Weeks

Our Africa adventure, booked through Zicasso’s travel specialist, was amazing, flawless, and a one-of-a-kind trip of a lifetime.

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana Travel Review: Cape Town, Kruger National Park, Safari, Wildlife, 2 Weeks

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Zicasso’s travel agent helped us plan our South African adventure and it was the perfect vacation. Everything went completely flawlessly and all the accommodations were fantastic. The communication and service she provided were excellent and I just wish she was the person who could plan all of our vacations. We did Cape Town, Kruger, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and it was the ultimate bucket-list trip. Her plan made it the best vacation ever!!!
