What people are saying about Victoria Falls Town

It was sensational, Prince Tee was a great great guide - please keep treating him well as I’m sure you are! We were collected and dropped off with no issues, and had an enjoyable open top ride in the car before exploring the park

We have enjoyed every minute since we stepped onto the boat, the atmosphere, the vibe, the people, the food and drinks were just out of this world and just seeing the beautiful sunset was truly amazing

Food was pretty good, views were very beautiful. Staff were also super nice and maybe did a great job. Overall it was better than simply going to the falls when you are here.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The guides were professional and extremely helpful. Water shoes with good rubber soles are recommended.

Amazing experience huge rapids, was a thrilling experience. The guide was great and prevented us falling out a few times!
