My husband, Guy, and I traveled to Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia with Bio Bio Expeditions in October of 2018. Our experience with the adventure company was, in a word, extraordinary. The Safari Lodges Bio Bio contracts with are top notch in dining, room accommodations, service and photographic safaris. One of the highlights was spending a full day in Botswana's Chobe National Park. First we climbed aboard a boat and took a 2.5 hour tour of the Chobe River just upstream from the confluence with the Zambezi. We were struck by the richness of the fauna both in the river and along her banks. Hippos, crocodiles, monitor lizards, cape buffalo, antelope, and too many species of bird to count. We then climbed aboard a safari vehicle where we were treated to an awesome three hour overland look at the park's terrestrial residents. We literally saw herds and herds of elephants, a few giraffes, many zebras, lions, wildebeast, sable and impala. We even had the good fortune to spot a leopard lounging in the branches of a tree. We camped several nights along the mighty Zambezi, first canoeing her flat water, and then rafting her thrilling Class III - V rapids. What a rush! Guy and I truly cannot say enough good about Bio Bio Expeditions. Over the past twenty years, we have traveled to Chile, Peru, Ecuador, The Galapagos Islands and Tanzania with Bio Bio. Each trip was wonderfully staffed and extremely well orchestrated. We may never use another adventure travel company.

Patagonia - A spectacularly beautiful place, only made better by the wonderful people who work there! Would highly recommend if you're feeling adventurous.

A MUST! An amazing adventure down the Zambezi. Could not imagine any other way to see this part of the world. The Bio Bio guides are some of the funnest, kindest, most professional, and knowledgeable people imaginable. A trip I’ll never forget. I rarely write travel reviews. This one deserved it.

These guys are awesome! I've been on a number of trips with them over the past couple decades. In the States, South America and Africa! Many of the best times of my life! Exciting, relaxing, adventurous, friendly, invigorating, life altering! Started with them as a bachelor years ago hitting class V in Chile with 5-star camping, including a wood fired hot tub after the day’s rafting adventure. Another trip I enjoyed a multi-day trip down the Zambezi river below Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe followed by a few days of safari! Eventually used Bio Bio for my honeymoon to Kilimanjaro, safari in Tanzania, and beach time in Zanzibar. Highly recommend them for both adventure and leisure!!
