Our township tour is ideal for travellers who would like to experience a 'day in the life' of a local resident. Off the touristy paths and in a surreal environment that most travellers don't get to see. We visit the first settlement of the 'working class' community and then progress to the recent and affluent parts of the township. It’s fascinating to explore historic Chinotimba, but it’s easy to lose your way in the area’s maze-like, narrow streets. To stay oriented and ensure you don’t miss key highlights, join a private guide with deep knowledge of local culture. It’s fully personalised to your preferences, whether you’re shopping for local textiles, interested in history, or learning about the township's unique architecture. Find key landmarks in the confusing historic centre. Customisable tour ensures personal service Get tips from a local on where to eat, drink, and visit Convenient pickup from hotels in Chinotimba and Mkhosana.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Bottled water

Exclusions: Dinner, Lunch

What a fabulous wee trip. Picked up at our villa we drove out to local helicopter landing site where our hosts set up. Our guide was very knowledgeable informative about all this celestial. Unfortunately for us the moon was resplendent in all its glory so no dark sky. However we saw many constellations and heard many stories of battles and gods. We now need to do the same at home????. The only thing we might suggest is that folding chairs may be a help for folks necks. We really enjoyed the evening however and learned loads. Every blessing on the future of your business.

We had a tour with a guide called Trevor who was absolutely superb, he was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Victoria falls and the wildlife. He even managed to find us some elephants on our journey back . I cannot recommend this trip more highly - Trevor is a great ambassador. Thank you so much for our morning and spending so much time with us.

It was well worth the $10. It was easy to follow, providing just enough information. It was especially useful as I was a solo traveler and it kept me on the path.

Reminiscing during lockdown on our trip with Nomad 20 years ago! Probably very different set up compared to now. 7 of us and a great group of people. Certainly no luxury, just a tent and a sleeping bag. The sights and sounds were amazing, our guides were brilliant, we will never forget it. We loved it!

We went at very high water which is both a pro and a con. The con being we couldn't raft but the pro was that the water was just unbelievably powerful and we were in awe. Highly recommend visiting the falls (either from the Livingstone side or Zimbabwe side) and you'll get SOAKED for sure, if you go at high water season, so prepare for that!

6. Easy floating

Victoria Falls

This is ideal for old age and younger people who may not have the strength to hike up and down the Zambezi River gorge . The floating is easy and simple. All you need is take lots of pictures and relax. The guides do the job for you may asked to assist by paddling but only if necessary otherwise the boat just drift down river .

Inclusions: Life jackets and drinks on board .

Exclusions: Parking Fees
