“My husband and I have just done this tour and we had a wonderful time.  The itinerary was very good – we really enjoyed visiting the school at Old Mutare Mission, the gardens at Seldom Seen in the Bvumba (with the infectiously enthusiastic Bulawesi to guide us!), and the tour of Serengeti 5 organic farm and ecotourist facility. Our tour then travelled across the country to take in Great Zimbabwe, Matobo and Hwange before ending at Vic Falls. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the vitality and optimism of the Zimbabwean people, and the beautiful country as well.”

“Nyati Travel & Tours organized a lovely day tour for our family during a layover in Harare. Terence from Nyati proposed that we go to Chivero, which is a lake and small nature reserve close to Harare. Seeing the rhinos capped off a great safari in Zimbabwe. Our guide/driver for the day, John was fantastic and took good care of us. Everything was well planned and executed. I highly recommend this company and will look forward to using their services when I am again in Zimbabwe.”

“We can wholeheartedly recommend all aspiring travellers to plan a longer stay in this fantastic nation. The natural beauty is unrivalled but above all, it is his population that makes an unforgettable impression: welcoming, open, communicative, helpful and with a extraordinary drive to make the best of it. About the service and assistance of Nyati’s partners Goof de Jong and André Bongers & staff, we can wholeheartedly recommend them. They had good suggestions for places to stay, they were fast and punctual in their follow-up of our numerous mails with extra requests and alterations of reservations in hotels and lodges.”

TRAVEL PORTFOLIO

LET'S EXPLORE AFRICA TOGETHER

Travel Portfolio

OUR MOST LOVED AFRICAN DESTINATIONS

Spoilt for choice on this vast, diverse and magical African Continent, the team of experienced and passionate explorers at Travel Portfolio will work with you to create your next unforgettable African Adventure.

Best kept secret

Explore this incredible national park, a UNESCO world heritage site and wilderness like nothing you’ve ever experienced. The human-wildlife interaction is minimal, due to a low human population in the surrounding areas, so the animals are relatively relaxed when encountered on foot, making Mana Pools one of the ultimate walking safari destinations.

LAKE KARIBA

Year-round destination

The 4th largest man-made lake on earth gives you 2,000 kilometers of pristine shoreline to explore. Here you will find an abundance of wildlife roaming the shores, including 4 of the Big Five, with herds of majestic Elephants. Cruise the lake on a houseboat. Get close to the wildlife on foot, or indulge in some of the most exciting fishing for the famous Tiger Fish.

VICTORIA FALLS

The smoke that thunders

Any African adventure would be incomplete without experiencing the mighty Victoria Falls. A UNESCO world heritage site and a “must-see-in-your-lifetime” phenomenon, not to mention the wildlife and extreme adventures. Our Travel Portfolio team has over 25 years expertise and experience, creating extraordinary experiences at Victoria Falls.

Authentic africa

Botswana is the perfect choice for lovers of wild and authentic Africa. A huge country with vast expanses of pristine bush and abundant wildlife. The National Parks and private reserves cover almost 40% of the country’s land area and the movement of wildlife is unrestricted. Unquestionably one of Africa’s supreme safari destinations.

OUR MOST LOVED ACTIVITIES

An adventure exploring Africa with us will feed your soul, enrich your mind and fill your album with unforgettable moments and memories.

AFRICAN SUNDOWNERS

A safari sundowner is a magical experience and the best way to end a day of exploring the wild beauty of Africa. Gaze over the bush with a cocktail in hand and share the day's amazing sightings while the African bush turns into night and a whole different world of nocturnal creatures come to life.

WALKING WITH ENDANGERED WILDLIFE

Whether you’re tracking a pack of Wild Dogs led by a breeding pair or cautiously approaching a Black Rhino, walking in the African bush in search of endangered animals as magnificent as these is a privilege few will ever experience. Track with an anti-poaching team, or with an experienced professional guide. Whatever you choose, an African Safari is the best way of contributing to their survival.

Africa has incredible and diverse bird life and Travel Portfolio is the official Travel Agent for Bird Life Zimbabwe. The birding destinations offered are magically diverse and amongst the most scenic terrains of Zimbabwe. Some of the rare bird species include the elusive African Pitta and some of the endangered vultures.

CANOEING SAFARIS

Whether you explore the mighty Zambezi River, known to locals as “the river of life”, on a multi-day canoe safari or as an afternoon activity from your Safari Lodge, you’ll experience the river and wildlife as the early explorers, like David Livingstone, did in the 1850s. You’ll get up close with hippo, crocodiles, elephant and abundant bird life as you drift down this river full of myths & mystries.

WALKING AMONG AFRICAN GIANTS

Walk where few people have walked, among African giants, in their habitat, on their terms. Feel the quiet deep rumble of an African Elephant communicating with the herd or a lion, quietly moaning, growling. A walk on the wild side with a professional guide, who has a close relationship with the animals, is an absolute must-do African Safari experience.

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

Africa will capture your imagination whether you’re a professional photographer or an avid amateur. Base yourself in a luxury safari camp, on a walking safari, or board a houseboat on Lake Kariba or on the Chobe River, where you’ll encounter and photograph the incredible and highly sought-after wildlife of Africa.

ANGLING - ZAMBEZI RIVER, CHOBE & KARIBA

Traditional angling or fly-fishing - test your skills against a tiger fish, a world-renowned fighting fish and one of 134 different fish species found in the Zambezi River, Kariba, Okavango and Chobe River systems. Enjoy some of the best fishing in Africa while watching African wildlife on the shoreline - an adventure few fishermen will ever experience.

"they said it"

A very belated "THANK YOU" for organising the most amazing trip with Stretch. Such a beautiful spot hosted by amazing people. Special time spent with my amazing family. I could not have wished for a more magical way to celebrate my birthday. Again - thank you! Marianne - Zimbabwe 

We had a fab time at Matetsi and expecting to be underwhelmed could not fault it. Excellent staff, attention to detail and good food. The tranquility and river view was priceless. Bird songs and distant rapids, watching the river whilst having morning tea, siesta in an  air-conditioned room, plenty of game, super birds and surprise bush dinner, plus a wine cellar dinner for 2. Thank you Travel Portfolio for arranging our trip and for arranging for special extra touches for us which made the whole experience very special. Ridgewells - Zimbabwe

Our clients had a wonderful safari – every destination from Victoria Falls, to Mana Pools and everywhere in between was unique and special.

And your attention to detail and planning was fantastic.

Thank you Travel Portfolio!

Steve Krenzen – California, USA

Hi Hayley - WOW what a fantastic getaway. Geof and I were really impressed with everything about Matetsi. A little bird told them that we never had a honeymoon and they spoiled us rotten! Thank you so much for organising our trip and for all the extra touches. Geoff and Bernie Davis - Zimbabwe

We had the most amazing time. Very special time with family, I just can't find the right words to explain our trip. It definitely will be a life long memory which we will treasure. The family were very sad to leave Stretch's camp. Thank you so much for organising the trip for us. Chitake was incredible, as well as witnessing approximately 300 buffalo coming to drink, thank you so much for including this special birthday extra for us. Duncan & Wright families - Zimbabwe

Travel Portfolio Team – thank you for all your planning to date. It is spot on!

Please keep well – we need you! 

Geoff – UK

You thought of every detail of our journey Hayley. And it ran like clockwork. Thank you Travel Portfolio 

Lin Barrie (Zimbabwean Wildlife Artist)

Thank you so much for the fabulous itinerary with a variety of elements from trains, to boats, encounters with the Big 5 and more.

Our clients loved their safari in Victoria Falls and Chobe.

Kasia and Robert – Royal Holidays, Poland

Thank you so much for arranging every detail of our safari and journey Hayley

The best part was keeping it a secret from the kids that they were flying on a charter plane from Victoria Falls to Lake Kariba. First they couldn’t figure out which our plane was and then they couldn’t believe the size of it (small) and they were amazed landing on a dust runway surrounded by wild animals. They will never forget their whole holiday but especially that part!

The Huletts - USA

Thank you for arranging yet another fabulous trip for our clients.

Guess what?  They loved Victoria Falls so much they want to come again and more people are joining the group.  So far it is more than 1 dozen people. Plus we have another party for the Delta.

Thank you for looking after us and our clients like gold.

Jan Schwab – Intimate Safaris, USA.

THE CLASSIC AFRICAN SAFARI GAME DRIVE

A game drive is the best way to explore the African bush in pursuit of that rare sighting of a wild dog, or for getting up close to wildlife, including magnificent animals such as lion, elephant, buffalo and rhino. There’s simply no better way of getting those amazing photos for your next coffee table boast book, than on an African Safari game drive.

Verified review.

Our African safari was outstanding, even better than we imagined. The selection of locations and the camps were all excellent. Our travel within Africa was complicated, with nine different flights, and it all went off without a hitch. We were greeted at every stop and the local representatives took care of all the details at each departure and arrival. We highly recommend Zicasso’s travel partner company to anyone taking a trip to Africa.

Charles' Travel Agency

 Based on  33  reviews

What a fantastic trip! It was so well organized and planned, we were able to just relax and enjoy our vacation. It was a one-month journey to Africa, visiting Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. We always felt taken care of. The safari portion of our trip could not have been more perfect. We were able to see the animals from very near on night drives and bush walks, with very few other jeeps to disturb the environment. The private concessions are an amazing way to truly experience the animals. We also explored Cape Town on a number of fantastic private tours. We watched the southern right whales off the coast of Hermanus, tasted some delicious wines in the Winelands, explored charming small towns, tried local cuisine, hiked Table Mountain, and so much more. Our travel team planned the trip to perfection.

 Based on  22  reviews

We chose this travel company to help plan our dream honeymoon in South Africa and we are so glad we did. Neil and the team planned and booked everything, taking into account our interests and ensuring every day would be special and memorable. They were super-responsive and made sure we were well taken care of. Our on-the-ground guide was phenomenal, full of information, and stories, and ensured we got everywhere safely. She was a delight to be around and truly made our trip even more special. All of the accommodations the travel company booked for us were exceptional and our experience at the safari lodge was one of the best of our lives, thanks to Neil's guidance. Neil also went above and beyond to help us get reservations at very popular and exclusive restaurants, knowing that food is a big part of what we love to discover while traveling. We would highly recommend using this company for a trip you will never forget.

Murray's Travel Agency

 Based on  438  reviews

We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all of the local guides. Our guide in Cape Town was wonderfully knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. Our guides in Victoria Falls were also wonderful. The private game reserve was the perfect choice, with a warm, welcoming crew, lovely accommodations, and knowledgeable professional guides and trackers. And delicious, abundant food. The hotel at Victoria Falls was also lovely, with very friendly, professional staff. Everyone across the board was helpful, accommodating, and respectful of our mom’s need for a little extra help (with the exception of Lufthansa in Frankfurt). We didn't book them through you, but wanted to give you the heads up in case you use them in the future for disabled or mobility-impaired guests. Every single person we encountered in Africa was kind and respectful, and we really appreciated that. Thank you for working with us to create a truly special experience.

Kent's Travel Agency

 Based on  73  reviews

Zicasso's travel partner was great to work with. Having never been on safari, they tailored a trip to our budget and hit it out of the park. When the airline canceled our flight as we were on our way to the airport, I called the emergency number and they got us rebooked within hours. Our itinerary was minimally affected. Once on the ground, the execution of the itinerary was excellent. We were met in Nairobi and we had a laugh as we were ushered through the "Diplomats" line in immigration. For 15 days it was like this. It was so personalized, we sometimes felt like celebrities. I would recommend Zicasso's travel partner to anyone who wants to go to Africa.

Daniella's Travel Agency

 Based on  60  reviews

Our trip to Southern Africa (Botswana and Zimbabwe) was nothing short of amazing! Our travel consultant created a great itinerary and took care of every detail associated with small-craft flights, greetings at airports, etc. The coordination was seamless! We highly recommend staying at the camps within the reserves as this provides a different experience to the national parks. We felt like we were the only ones there. We were deeply touched by the love and warmth of the resort staff, who go out of their way to welcome you and assist with any needs you may have. Our guide was brilliant, his knowledge, experience, and patience incredible! This was our second trip through Zicasso and we highly recommend the company for its interest in helping to make our trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Simon's Travel Agency

 Based on  132  reviews

Our trip exceeded all expectations. Our Zicasso travel agent provided us with all the information we needed and answered all of our questions quickly. Before planning the itinerary, he listened to what we were hoping to get out of this trip and those interests were reflected in the itinerary he planned for us. Our guides were excellent and the accommodations were wonderful. Everyone had been informed before our arrival that we were vegetarians, and we were provided with wonderful meals.

Richelle's Travel Agency

 Based on  14  reviews

Zicasso matched us with two excellent travel agents who were both professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. We selected this travel company. Our agent, Richelle, worked with us to design an itinerary that transformed our wish list into an incredible African journey. Her prompt responses to our questions or needs were greatly appreciated. We were attempting to see a lot of South Africa and Namibia in only two weeks. Throughout our trip, the accommodations, transfers, guides, restaurants, flights, and activities that Richelle had arranged or suggested were superb. She helped us create a portal for our trip that served as a source of information, pick-up times, e-tickets, and things like our allergies that restaurants knew ahead of time. Additionally, she was there for us as we were traveling in case we had a problem or question. We can't say enough about her professionalism, patience, and genuine concern that our vacation would be everything we hoped for. Our itinerary was ambitious, but Richelle's preparation made it possible. First, we spent three days at Marataba. The accommodations, food, and staff were first-rate. Our guide on the safaris was excellent and the variety of game we saw was impressive. The next part of our trip was in Cape Town. We arrived in a storm that the locals called "the storm of the century". There was extensive damage and some loss of life as well. While the storm certainly curtailed some activities, the following days had brilliant sunshine. We had a great time visiting the V&A Waterfront, a colony of African penguins at Boulders Beach, enjoying the gorgeous coastal scenery along Chapman's Peak Drive, and a too-short visit to the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. Our accommodations at the hotel in Sea Point were excellent for location and the professional staff. After three days in Cape Town, our guide drove us for about an hour to the Cape Winelands. We arranged for two wine tastings in Stellenbosch. The winery was outstanding for the beautiful views and excellent wine. We also saw zebra and impala in the field just in front of the outdoor verandah. We had lunch at a boutique hotel and winery with spectacular views and delicious wine and food. Our accommodations at the hotel in Franschhoek were outstanding. The setting, service, food, and beautiful views were a highlight of our trip. Our room was large and beautifully appointed. An example of their generous hospitality was that all items in the minibar, including a bottle of wine produced at their winery, were gratis. We regretted having to leave after only one night's stay. Our guide then returned us to the airport in Cape Town for our flight to Walvis Bay, Namibia. We were met by our driver at the airport to transfer us to the hotel in Swakopmund. The hotel was on the Atlantic Ocean and a perfect location to explore the town. The staff was top-notch. Warm, friendly, efficient, willing to help you arrange drivers, restaurant reservations, or figuring out how to work the TV remote. After three days in Swakopmund, our excellent guide drove us to the lodge in the private Kulala Wilderness Reserve. Once again, the warm hospitality of the staff here and throughout our travels will stay with us for a long time. The lodge is a gateway to the magnificent dunes of Sossusvlei. Our guide was outstanding. He was an excellent driver over some awful roads and sand, and the depth and breadth of his knowledge were impressive. He cooked us a lovely chicken and salad lunch out in the desert. He drove us to Windhoek for our flight back to Johannesburg and our return home.  There will be many wonderful things to remember about our journey in southern Africa, but Richelle's excellent guidance and the warmth of the African people are what will stay with us the longest.

Fraudulent use of tha A.Z.T.A logo

The Association of Zimbabwe Travel Agents (AZTA) warns travelers to beware of unscrupulous Travel Agencies and/or agents who claim to be AZTA members and are not. Travel agents who do so are intentionally misleading their clients by trying to elevate their business credibility and status. AZTA members adhere to a Code of Conduct that governs the way the members deal with their customers, suppliers and each other. In giving the best possible service, AZTA members not only maintain their own good standing and the association’s but also to the industry as a whole. This assures the customers and suppliers have the assurance of the best quality of service at all times. It is advisable to always use an AZTA-affiliated company for competent service and peace of mind when traveling.

To the Travel Agents

The unauthorized use of the AZTA logo by agents is fraudulent. Unauthorized use of the AZTA logo may lead to legal action being taken against the agent. If in doubt as to whether you are an AZTA member, check that you have paid your annual subscription fee. If you have not, then please remove the AZTA logo from your stationery both online and physical immediately. Once you have been reinstated as a member upon subscription payment, then you may put the logo back on. If you are interested in becoming a member – the application form is on the AZTA website. We welcome new members and will assist wherever possible.

Unsecured credit to customers putting agencies in a difficult position

Would you advance unsecured credit to your clients for over 30 days, as a deal to get their business, without any guarantees? So why is it becoming quite common that travel agencies are being asked to do it by customers? It is now an increasing trend that travel agencies are not being paid by the agreed date and agents face difficulties procuring payment at all in some cases. In every other retail outlet it is cash up front, but not in the travel industry? Travel agencies worldwide have to provide a guarantee with IATA (International Air Transport Association) which is calculated on a set of financial criteria. The guarantee is based on cash sales in each business. This makes cash inaccessible and shows as a liability on the financial statement. If a travel agency defaults on any of their payments to the airlines, IATA offsets their guarantee to recover the amount owing. No one secures a credit facility from the airlines direct; they have to pay cash up front when they purchase an air ticket. There is a vast financial burden placed on agencies, mainly when it is expected that agencies should do it for free, especially when the customer expects the agent to be available for them at any hour. Agencies are expected to continually invest in training their staff and have the latest in technology to provide their passengers with an efficient booking process and account management. Compare the cost of the professional service fee charged to the cost of the transaction and the hours spent of the reservation, it is unreasonable then, for a customer to expect interest free credit facilities for them.

Selecting a Travel Agent

Clients who use an AZTA travel agent desire an in-depth, personal approach and want the advice and expertise of a professional.

This is why an AZTA Travel agent:

• Distills product information to provide their clients with the most competitive options;
• Stays abreast of the most current and timely promotions;
• Clarifies the fine print, such as cancellation penalties and restrictions; Makes recommendations on travel-related options;
• Simplifies the research and subsequent transaction;
• Enhances the trip with value-added benefits and amenities; Uses their experience to obtain the best possible arrangements in seemingly impossible situations; and Gets problems resolved.

How do I choose a travel agent that’s right for me?

Every travel agency is different and accordingly, some are better suited to a given consumer than others. Here are some tips on choosing a travel agent who is right for you.

Go with the Pros: Look for the AZTA label.

Through its continuing education and training programs, AZTA prepares its members to operate high-caliber, competitive businesses.

Ask Around:

Tap friends, neighbors and relatives who use an agent they trust. You may want to visit or call several agencies to find the one that best suits your needs. Consider everything from the appearance of the office to the agent’s willingness to listen and answer questions. The best agents want to establish a long-term relationship with a client, not just make one sale.

Check Credentials:

Many agents have been trained in business management, travel and tourism or geography. Others have supplemented their agency experience with extensive education and training courses.
