          Victoria Falls couples stay
          We booked a 2 night/3 day trip to Victoria Falls over New Years with Africa Travel and everything was fantastic! From the point of arranging, Tinashe was fantastic in assisting and being responsive and proactive especially as I was arranging from abroad. Then once we arrived everything was seamless and exactly as organised, the transfers were spacious, clean, modern and well air conditioned. To the excursions which were all of extremely high quality (we did the Zambezi cruise, Vic Falls tour (special thanks to Absolom for being such a fantastic tour guide!), safari drive and the Boma dinner which were all fantastic). The lodge we stayed at (Insika Lodge) was also amazing and the staff were so attentive. A really memorable stay made possible by the organisation and assistance of Africa Travel. I would not hesitate to use then again, thank you so much!

          Africa travel - Zimbabwe
          We had a tour on the Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwe side and the tour on the Zambia side and swim in the Devil’s pool. I have had a very pleasant experience with Africa Travel, particularly Steve - our tour guide. The tour is extremely smooth and Steve is super helpful with lots of information and always made himself available for us. We had a missing luggage by the airline, Steve helped us to get back out luggage the next day without hustle. I would recommend Africa Travel Tours and Steve. Thank you.

          Good overall
          I used Africa Travel Tours twice: (from the airport to the lodge) My experience started off a bit frustrating. Upon arrival, there was no one holding a sign as instructed. I had to step outside the terminal and search for the van in the parking lot. I spotted the company logo on the van myself. Just as I found it, the driver was about to leave, but I managed to stop him in time. Once I presented my voucher and everything was verified, the driver turned out to be friendly and accommodating. While the rest of the ride was smooth, the lack of coordination at the airport made the process unnecessarily stressful. (from the lodge to the airport) I had a great experience with Africa Travel Tours on my recent airport transfer. The driver arrived early, was very polite and professional, and shared interesting information about the surrounding area during the ride. This was my second time using the company. My first transfer, from the airport to my lodge, wasn’t as smooth, but this experience completely made up for it. I appreciate the improvement and would happily recommend Africa Travel Tours to others.

          Accommodating and Timely
          Me and two associates traveled from Nairobi to Victoria Falls and returned 4 days later. On both transfers from the VF Airport to our hotel and then from our hotel to the Airport VF Airport Transfers provided great and timely service. Especially since upon arriving we were held in customs for over an hour and then upon our departure, our flight was significantly altered which impacted the time we needed to arrive at VF Airport. Therefore the original time requested changed and the need to be at the airport was much sooner than originally requested. This was not an issue for VF Airport Transfers as they arrived within 10 minutes of the call to make the change, Great customer service and the drivers were helpful and friendly.

          Easy to organize and kind staff
          Africa Travel & Tours was efficient and timely. It was easy to schedule our transfers before arriving. Once we were on the ground, the company went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable on our transport to and from the airport. Graciously, they even booked two last-minute excursions for us. We will be using this company again in the future and recommending them to friends who visit Southern Africa!

          Great guide, falls and township tour
          We were actually booked with Africa Travel Tours for our transfer from Kasane in Botswana to Vic Falls in Zimbabwe. We liked our driver, Dilo (sp?) so much, that we requested he be our guide for a Township tour, as well as a guided tour of the falls on the Zimbabwe side, and he was our driver to the airport when we left. It definitely added to our experience, that he was able to tell us the history, point out landmarks that we would otherwise not have paid attention to, and told us some of the customs and traditions of his home. Highly recommend the company and Dilo in particular.

          A part of Africa to remember!
          You can do everything with USD! Come with small bills to pay taxis and local merchants in cash. Baines (just above the falls on the river) and Lookout, (below the falls) restaurants are both excellent! We saw an elephant close to the Big Tree! It was a real African experience!

          Unforgettable adventure!
          We were among the first to board the cruise, which allowed us to secure the best seats. The tour was an incredible experience, offering sightings of crocodiles, hippos, a variety of birds, and more. To top it off, we were also provided with complimentary drinks and snacks. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure.

        The food was good, nothing spectacular but everything we had was good. The all you can eat buffet style was nice. I am a vegetarian, my partner is not, they did have vegetarian options which was nice but it definitely is more catered toward non-vegetarians which I expected and makes sense since the dinner in part showcases local cuisine which is more meat-based. Also any alcoholic beverages came with an extra charge.

        There were brief performances throughout the dinner culminating in a drum performance in which everyone was given a small drum near their table and was encouraged to play along with/become part of the show. There was no "singling out" of audience members, everyone used their drums while sitting at their seats so for those who are shy you won't have to worry about that. After the drum show portion when dinner had wrapped up guests were invited/encouraged to get on the floor and dance.

        Overall we had fun and it was a nice experience on our first night in Victoria Falls so if you are looking to try some different foods and have some light entertainment during dinner it was nice but I would not call it a "must do".

        No question this is a 100% tourist trap… but it’s a great way to spend the evening. You’re greeted by African dancers and dressed up complete with welcome face paint. The show itself is quite short but once finished, there’s a lot of audience participation with the drums. There’s a wide selection of mainstream food and all you can eat buffet. Great atmosphere and authentically decorated. A few side shows such as fortune telling, etc to while away the night and some vendors selling paintings, etc. Super busy so book in advance.

        This was definitely more fun for my kids than us adults. Food was plentiful, but not the most flavorful. Very attentive and kind staff. You will be hit up with performances from the moment you exit your taxi throughout the meal. The drum performance was very fun, and we all enjoyed drumming along. Overall a fun, family-friendly evening.

        The food was good and varied and I enjoyed the show. But the drinks were very expensive compared to anywhere else in Zimbabwe. You are not given a price list or indication of the cost and I got a shock at the end of the evening.
