    Devils pool is definitely one for adrenaline junkies! I wouldn’t recommend young children are taken on this experience. My daughter is 11 years old and the current is far too strong for anyone but a strong swimmer. The boat ride to Livingstone Island was great. The experience itself is unbelievable, and the gourmet lunch was incredible. Highly recommend

    One word “incredible”
    The most amazing sight you’ll ever see, the rising mist can be seen as you are landing in Livingstone and from the skies it is phenomenal. Don’t forget your poncho’s as you’ll definitely get very wet on your walk. We experienced a stunning rainbow on the day we visited. 100% recommend this once in a lifetime experience.

    This was definitely a thrilling experience. Words still fail me on how to explain the free fall but once on it, it's downhill all the way! Will definitely do this again.
    Mulele was the one! Made sure our booking was done, time followed, picked up and sent us straight o he airport after.
    Do ask for him for a great service.

    I had a guided tour at the museum. Entry is $5, and on top of that a tip for the guide. Museum is the most important in Zambia. It tells the story from the pre stoneage till current. It has a big collection from Dr Livingstone including clothes, books and letters, and tells his story. The guide was good and had many interesting anecdotes on what we saw. Well worth the tip. The museum has a nice gift shop with very fair prices.

    What an inspiring place this is! Run by a family of artists, taking care of local
    community by giving art classes. Some really interesting art works and a really nice tour by the daughter of the artists who is an amazing artist herself.

    Fascinating look into where man-eaters go after being captured. Also some deadly snakes on display. Got to hold a baby croc! Highly recommend this place.

    A must visit to get close to the falls, to get right on top of the falls in one area on the right! We stayed at Victoria Falls hotel, and walked over the bridge (get a two entry visa when you land at the airport). From the Zimbabwe side you are far from the falls, great views still. On the Zambia side things are a lot less hectic, the falls are way less crowded, and even the vendors haggle less. There is one place for lunch, just outside the entry gate, but you are better off bringing a sandwich and water. We loved the hike up to Danger Point, heavy mist and all. Lots of baboons around you, they are not aggressive but still keep to yourself and under no circumstances feed them as they will come back with 25 friends.

    We're glad we made this trip. It happened on the second day of our vacation and started off perfectly. We traveled in October 2021 at one of "lulls" in Covid spikes. It's unfortunate for the area that tourism was still at a very low level. We had the boats to ourselves. Mike and Michael did an outstanding job of showing us a wide variety of plants and animals. This was a sunset cruise and the boat was always positioned (if possible) to put the sun at our backs for the best possible photography. There was a delightful stop for snacks as the sun started setting followed by a trip through some minor rapids above the falls. We couldn't have asked for a better evening.

    Getting in a small boat, with fabo cocktails spotting hippos and crocs was amazing. Seeing the sunset on the River was a memory I won't forget.

    We had an incredible experience visiting the Zambezi Elephant Trails. Taking an hour ride on Marula with a trainer was so much fun. The elephants are friendly, calm, interesting animals. The group consists of orphaned elephants and a couple of youngsters who were born at the camp. Marula wanted to stay walking in the water and took convincing to return to the rest of the group. Feeding the elephants afterward just added more fun to the experience. They told of one of the elephants who actually ran away for about 10 months. They were unable to find him when searching. But 10 months later the giant returned and has stayed ever since. Loved it!

    Nice collection of commercial crafts. Most appeared to be mass produced. Prices were reasonable.
