Timothy_R, May 2026

A Generous, Fun & Efficient Package!

This tour has it all in one generous, fun & efficient package. We enjoyed the ancient Baobab Tree, and then entered Victoria Falls National Park for an astounding and unforgettably adventure. For the evening we enjoyed a sunset cruise with included appetizers, drinks and animal/bird sightings. This was followed by a glorious “Boma” dining experience and very high energy native entertainment. Don’t pass this all inclusive experience! Shout out to Lox, our knowledgeable guide through the falls, who made a great day a lot of fun!

Chobe Day Trip From Victoria Falls Zimbabwe

This was great. We have...

This was great. We have been on safaris before, so for this one the highlight was the boat trip, where we could see elephants, hippos, crocs and kudus. It was a smooth experience to cross the border, the food for lunch is in a nice place and you are back before sunset. Would do it again.

Half Day Zambezi Whitewater Rafting

ranners77, Mar 2026

Just wow!

Just back from the half day rafting and wow! what an experience. Andrew, Abraham and the team did an amazing job. The experience ended up being a private one as we were the only 2 on the day and to say I was nervous beforehand would be an understatement but the team did a fantastic job of putting us at ease. To have photos and lunch included, was a huge plus too. Thank you for such a fantastic last day of our holiday!! Things to know ahead of the trip... - The experience starts from Zambia so if, like us, you are staying on the Zimbabwe side you need to take your passports and go through immigration. - The walk down to the gorge was steep, but had steps. The walk back up was a slightly different experience, it was steep with uneven footing but still doable. Definitely need a good pair of shoes to do both ways. - At the lodge stop, where you have lunch afterwards, there are no toilet facilities and so no ability to easily get changed. This meant that the travel back, which is quite a long trip, can get a little bit chilly (it was beginning of March) as we were still in our wet clothes. Just sharing as useful information and in no way did any of it detract from a fantastic experience!!!

Recommended tour

The tour was amazing, the pick up was on time, and the border process was smooth. The game drive was excellent, got close to elephants and lions. The buffet lunch was really good. The boat ride was good, saw some crocs, hippos and elephants. The bonus was that the park entrance was included, unlike some companies that charge extra.

Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls

Cecilia_H, Aug 2025

Zambezi is Best River ever!

As other reviewers have said, the trail down to the river and later back up is quite difficult and requires shoes with good tread and some energy. However, I am 72 and did it and the rafting trip was SOO worth it. The entire crew but most especially our guide OG were amazing.
