Nathan created a memorable tour in every way. I travelled with colleagues exploring both Lusaka and Victoria Falls over 4 days. We were treated to a wide variety of experiences - all comfortable and safe yet intriguing and exciting. Nate is dedicated to providing a genuine and realistic exposure to all that Africa has to offer and is as much a part of the experience in sharing his knowledge as a master in executing all elements of the travel. This was my first trip to Africa; I am so glad we had Nate as our guide. You are in excellent hands with Nate and his team!

Exceptional Travel Experience with Nathan: Highly Recommended!
We recently had the pleasure of booking a 5-day Victoria Falls Safari and adding a couple of nights in lower Zambezi through Nathan. We cannot recommend his services highly enough. From start to finish, Nathan ensured our trip was perfectly planned and executed, making our adventure through Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana an unforgettable experience.
Honest, Authentic, and Personal: Nathan's approach to travel planning is truly unique. He doesn't just offer package deals; he takes the time to understand the specific wishes and needs of his clients, crafting a tailor-made experience that perfectly fits. This personal touch made all the difference in our journey.
Well Organized and Transparent: From the initial consultation to the final details of our trip, Nathan's organization and transparency were impeccable. He provided clear and comprehensive information, ensuring there were no surprises along the way. His reliability gave us peace of mind, knowing we were in capable hands.

Nate's an excellent guide and a very kind person! We went on a day-trip from Lusaka to Lower Zambezi and the trip was everything I had hoped for! I had never seen Elephants, Hippos and Crocodiles so close-up in nature before. Unforgettable experience and highly recommended!

Nathan was excellent - articulate, knowledgeable and discerning in which sights he took me to see in Lusaka. He was engaging, well presented and very interesting to get to know. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services, whether for a local tour of Lusaka or further afield on safari. First class guide.

We have spent a few days in Lusaka on the start of our 3 week holiday in Africa. Nathan was an excellent guide for the city tour, he was on time, very polite, and very informative. He showed us around the city center, elephant sanctuary, the museum, we went to see a big rhino in the park, and visited a shopping mall. It was a really nice day, and Nathan spent even more time than he was supossed to. We can highly recommend Nathan to anyone visiting Lusaka. Thanks a lot!

3 Week Multi Day Small Group Transport and Guiding Service
Chongwe and Lusaka
He is a safe, friendly, and great driver you can find in Zambia. Also he is very fluent of English so you will be comfortable. During my stay in Zambia, my 6 friends and I hired him for 3 weeks and he guided us in Lusaka and Chongwe. We really appreciate he coordinated all very well considering our tidy schedule, his knowledge of traffic there was very helpful. On the way to our destination, we enjoyed he also taught us culture, history, politics, and local economy situation in Zambia, very impressive. I recommend you 120% to take his service for visitors. Don't look more, he is the best option!!!

Thank you Nathan for a wonderful and informative day! My three generational family had a11 hour layover in Lusaka after a busy safari vacation. Despite all being very tired, we are so grateful for Nathan, who made our last day in Lusaka very memorable! We saw the sights of Lusaka, did some shopping and enjoyed learning about the city and Zambian culture, history and politics. Nathan engaged our whole family, and is a delightful, smart and interesting person. I recommend him completely.

Nathan was our tour leader for an all day trip on 23rd July 2022, around Livingstone, Zambia. He planned everything to perfection! We got to see a local village, view Victoria Falls from Zimbabwe and Zambia, take a safari through the national park, enjoy an evening cruise on te Zambezi River for sunset. It couldn't have been better planned or more perfect. We give him 5 stars.

10 day tour of Kafue National Park, Lower Zambezi, Ndola city.
8th September 2019​
We had fantastic 10 day adventure with Nathan covering over 1800km in Zambia. He was great company throughout, knowledgeable and informed about everywhere we visited. He was endlessly patient with me planning the trip, as we chopped and changed our ideas. Once we arrived, he was resourceful when our plans changed at late notice due to self inflicted or unavoidable delays, and never failed to find us comfortable places to sleep and eat. We couldn't have done the trip without you.

Had a wonderful journey with Nathan in the tranquil, friendly country of Zambia. I like doing overland journeys rather than flying, and in Africa this journey was very cost effective, friendly, and informative. Nathan is an articulate, jolly, and welcoming person that is a perfect steward of his fine country. I have been to dozens of countries in Africa, worked with many guides, and his ranks in my top 3 experiences undoubtedly. He is patient, flexible, and quick to identify how to show you good times!!

5th December 2022
I rate Nathan 5+ stars! My friend and I had a great trip with Nathan from Lusaka to South Luangwa and then to the Malawian border where he organized onward transportation for us! Nathan is a safe and comfortable driver, he is also punctual which is a rare find! He is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable and happy to share his insights about his country and the region. Nathan went out of his way to make sure our whole journey (including border crossings) went as smoothly as possible despite Presidential visits. I’m so pleased I found Nathan online and booked a tour with him. We had a great time in Zambia and I highly recommend Nathan to anyone!

I had a wonderful and great tour with Nathan. He showed me great places explained everything and took care of me. He was really sympathetic and his knowledge about the country and the capital city Lusaka were amazing. I could really understand and remember a lot what he said. I was able to ask as many questions as I wanted. Also he was punctual and professional. I would do many other tours with him in the future.

Nathan was a great guide. He took us to two art galleries where we enjoyed looking at art by local and Zambian artists and learned a lot about the country's increased interest in visual arts. We also went to the National Museum and Nathan did an excellent job of supplementing the information provided by the museum. He even amended his plans to cater to my desire to buy some traditional Chitenges cloth. We would absolutely hire Nathan again if we find ourselves in Zambia again.

Lower Zambezi Day Tour From Lusaka

Nate is an amazing tour operator! He accompanied us on our lower Zambezi river safari day trip and was so knowledgeable about the local culture and wildlife! We all had such a great time and felt well taken care of. We saw tons of crocs, hippos, elephants, baboons, monkeys, and colorful birds up close, often within 15-20 ft of the boat. We were worried it would be hot but the breeze on the boat and shade was very comfortable. Definitely would go again with Nate! 100/100!

Lusaka City Tour, Livingstone/Victoria Falls weekend tour, Lower Zambezi Day Tour
April 2023
My Aussie friend and I recently acquired the services of Nate's African Expeditions for 2 trips .A day trip to lower Zambezi from Lusaka,and weekend trip to Livingstone from Lusaka. We told him what we wanted and he arranged the itinerary in advance . He was our tour guide and driver for both trips. It went well and according to plan.The highlights of the tour were a close up encounter with lions, a tour of an 800 year old ancestral village and lunch on the island on the Zambezi river River, with two elephants slowly walking across the other side of the island background while we ate lunch. We did walking tours, game drives and river safaris. We enjoyed driving through the countryside. For tours, trips, safaris in Zambia, the services of Nates' African Expeditions are highly recommended.

It was joyful to explore Lusaka with Nate, and he made it possible for us to buy school supplies for the community, visit the precious bundles in the orphanage and enjoy the authenticity of his village. Nathan is an open-minded, kind, compassionate and amazing human.
