We booked their Easter Lunch Special. On arrival there was no one to welcome us. Instead multiple calls were being made to confirm if we had made a booking (we had proof of booking in hand). Most of the cages were filled with chickens, goats, sheep and rabbits. Lunch was terrible, everything seemed just boiled in addition to being asked 3 more times about our booking! This place is in need of some TLC.

We had a 3 night Victoria Falls package put together by Batoka Safaris packed with exciting activities for the whole family. Activities included a sunset cruise, a tour of the falls, lion & elephant encounters and a game drive. Solomon, our driver was friendly, punctual, always smartly dressed and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate even our smallest requests. He was patient with our young children and willing to answer general questions. Solomon ensured smooth handovers to third party service providers when they were required. Thank you Batoka Safaris for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Batoka Safaris for group travel and touring.

In all that there is to do around Vic Falls you might easily to miss this unique experience. Don't - unless you're seriously bothered by heights! In an amusing, highly informative and very engaging presentation we were given an unusual angle on the Falls. We learnt about the Victorian engineering pioneers who made this key link in the proposed Cape to Cairo Railway possible and we appreciated, at first hand, the skills and the bravery involved in delivering it. An absolutely unforgettable visit amongst all the excitement offered by one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
