Overall rating

(5 reviews)

We only stayed in the Zimbabwe part because we had gone to Devil's pool in Zambia in the morning and seen the falls, so it was not worth paying for the visa again. The guide explained everything in detail and took lots of photos. Then we agreed with him to go for a drive at sunset to see animals (we saw impalas, bushbuck, mongoose, monkeys...) and we went to dinner at the Look out café to see the sunset. If you are generous with the guides they are also very responsive. An incredible experience even though we saw the falls in the driest season.

Our guide Matthew was very polite, professional and did a great job of keeping out tour orderly and on time. Saw elephants and Buffalo on the tram ride. the history of the bridges construction is very cool. The views of the bridge were gorgeous. it was a perfect and relaxing way to spend the morning. I very much enjoyed it

It was an amazing experience. Once in a lifetime. Our guide James was fantastic and knew his job. He has a top team with him who guarantee safety. There is a descent beforehand and a climb afterwards which is tough.

It was great! Andrew was a great captain. We all felt safe and it was an awesome adventure

Great experience really enjoyed it. Guide was very notable and helpful.
