Wildlife & Nature Tours, Vacations, and Safaris

We traveled with the help of Zicasso's tour specialist. She was available for us throughout and prepared us very well on what to expect. Our accommodations, our guides, and our cultural experiences were all excellent! She even had a surprise birthday dinner set up for me on our last night there. For us, this was the trip of a lifetime and we would highly recommend her!

Our African safari, organized by Zicasso’s tour company and its agent, was a trip of a lifetime. Their partnering with the local travel company was absolutely brilliant. Our guide was of the highest quality that could have been expected. 

The accommodations at the Ngorongoro Crater were amazing. The other accommodations were a bit more rustic, but they seemed perfectly located for our safaris. 

We would not recommend the "walk" to the elephant caves without more disclosure about the difficulty of the trek and the footwear required. We were not thrilled with the visit to the Maasai village. We felt taken advantage of. We would have preferred a visit to a village where our participation was more authentic and where we did not get a high-pressure sales pitch.  

Booking the hot-air balloon ride with the chosen company was an excellent choice. We have come back with so many memories of our time in Tanzania (including our stay in Zanzibar). We would highly recommend our travel company and agent to anyone considering an African safari.

Calling Zicasso and teaming with their travel agency to coordinate our African safari was an excellent decision. Our agent assisted us with choosing the optimal time of year to visit parks and accommodations that would meet our needs. Along with coordinating our connecting park bush flights and hand-picking our exclusive safari guides, her planning made this a most memorable and amazing adventure. We all delighted in the smooth flow of our journey throughout our itinerary. From the flights to the transfers and the accommodations, each was expecting us and welcoming.

The trip was well organized and the handoffs across multiple locations were managed very smoothly, without any problems. Our Zicasso travel agent was very responsive throughout the planning process.

Communication with our Zicasso travel team was fantastic. They were very responsive to all questions and calmed any concerns we had.

We were met at the airport by our travel agent, who was our guide for the week. He was amazing! He ensured we had the best experience possible – we traveled and explored on our schedule, making sure we saw all the animals and sights we wanted to see.

The Serengeti was everything I imagined it would be. The plains were alive with all kinds of animals, and watching the cheetahs, lions, and leopards hunting was magical. We didn’t see them catch anything, but it was still fantastic to see them in action.

We were there during a drought, so the Great Migration hadn't started yet, but it started raining and we saw thousands of animals gathering to start their long trek. It was a beautiful sight.

Our agent did his best to ensure we saw the Big Five – elephant, leopard, buffalo, lion, and rhino, and we managed to see four of them on our first day out in the Serengeti. We had to wait until the last day in the Ngorongoro Crater to see a rhino, but it was worth the wait.

It was the best vacation I have ever had and our travel agent was a big reason why.

Thank you to our travel team!

Our trip to Costa Rica was absolutely amazing! The travel specialist from Zicasso's travel company was so great in accommodating all of our requests and everything was planned perfectly, down to the last detail. I loved that he even suggested things we hadn't thought of, which made our experience truly memorable. We would definitely go back and use this travel company again. Their expertise and time were invaluable!
