All Victoria Falls Tours & Excursions in 2026

We saw a ton of animals on this trip, and I get the feeling that that is not unusual. We saw mainly elephants and cape buffalo, but we also saw several crocodiles, impalas, a variety of birds, hippos in the water, and one or two out of the water. On the land portion, the driver went out of his way to see a lion for one person on the safari. We ended up seeing three: two females sleeping in the bush, and one male not too far away, seemingly guarding the females. One of the most spectacular things we saw was an elephant get territorial with the lion and chase him out. Lunch was an outdoor boma with varied food and dessert. The food was covered, but any drinks you wanted to get required a purchase. You could pay with credit cards. Water was available on both the land and water portions of the trip, but not on the drive to Botswana. Also note that the boat was nothing fancy: It was a small boat with seating for maybe 16 or 20 people: I think four or five rows with four seats in each row. Our driver and our land and water guides were very helpful. Navigating through passport control, you were handed off from one guide to the other so you never got "lost" in the process. Please know that if you intend to buy your return visa for Zimbabwe when you're returning, bring cash. We were told that the credit card network wasn't working and that we had to pay in cash. (A couple traveling with us argued with them and actually got them to charge their credit card, so the border crossing essentially lied to us about the credit card machines not working. But unless you're prepared to have that argument, bring cash.) Here is my constructive feedback for Cuckoo Safaris: 1. Please make water available on the trip from Zimbabwe to Bostwana and back. It was really hot, and we didn't think to take a final water from our Botswana guide. Other travelers may find themselves in a similar situation. 2. Our land safari guide took us along the Chobe River. We saw that area in the boat. I think it would have been more helpful to explore somewhere else. 3. Researching the visas for the trip was the most stressful part of the whole transaction. We wanted to buy KAZA Univisa multi-entry visas ahead of time on the Web, but the government site requirez a border entry point and vehicle number that we didn't have. It seemed impossible to buy this visa on the Web, and we didn't know you could buy it at the checkpoint. It would have saved a lot of stress if your listing for this activity said that you can buy your single- or multi-entry visa on the spot when immigrating back to Zimbabwe.

The staff were great . The food was abundant and delicious, and the views were lovely. We saw elephants and hippos and crocodiles. The people who were sitting with fun to talk to. I cannot imagine a better experience. We sat on the very top level which gave us an amazing view and we also had the dinner.After all the food we had on the boat, going to dinner was a little bit too much because we were already full

I was picked up from my lodge in Victoria Falls and was kept informed of the driver's arrival time. There were only 10 adults (and one toddler) in the group. There were 5 or 6 crew on the boat to look after us. Other boats had maybe 40-50 passengers. A safety briefing was conducted and all crew members were introduced to us. We then went for the cruise where we were offered some snacks and alcoholic or soft drinks. We saw crocodiles, lots of large and small birds before we were treated to about 20 elephant enjoying a swim and some playfights right in front of us. The sunset was right over the river and it was just perfect. After sunset, the crew played some very fitting music to finish the cruise on a great note.

It was an amazing experience! We saw so many elephants—over 100—and even saw elephants crossing the road on our way from Zimbabwe to Chobe and back. It was such a cool safari experience, combining both the game drive and the boat safari. The boat tour was fabulous, and our driver was very knowledgeable and informative. He gave us plenty of time to stop for pictures and was happy to answer our questions. The pickup and drop-off at our Airbnb were also efficient and right on time. One observation was that the safari vehicle was full with 10 people. Several people, including me, had to sit in the middle seats, while one person had to sit up front with the driver and was unable to stand. This seems to be fairly normal for safaris in Botswana, although I have experienced smaller groups and more spacious vehicles on safaris in Kenya. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this experience. Seeing so many elephants from both the vehicle and the boat was truly unforgettable!

Fantastic!! Absolutely an experience to do, you will have the opportunity to see the animals and nature from another perspective, very well done, thanks also to our photographer Prosper for having captured all the beautiful moments of the experience. Highly recommended.

A great day out. We went from Vic Falls :- pick up was on time , the travel through immigration into Botswana went smoothly. Morning was a jeep game drive , afternoon on the Chobe River. The nation park is full animals and was great to see the elephants playing in the water.

I highly recommend this tour! Blessing (driver), our tour guides Del (Zambia side) , and Brown (Zimbabwe side) were very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and great photographers. The falls were beautiful but I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the facts and history of the falls and surrounding areas.

This was a great experience. We were picked up from our hotel, the boat was comfortable and modern, drinks were provided and the canapés were really tasty. We saw hippo, a crocodile and giraffes as well as a beautiful sunset. The crew were so friendly and made the experience even better. We'd recommend this to anyone travelling to Victoria Falls.
