We went on a Shearwater guided tour. Excellent service received throughout our three day stay in Victoria falls from Shearwater Tours. The view of the falls on this tour is amazing, the guide was extremely knowledgeable, walked at a pace suitable to all members of the group. Easy walk, suitable for all ages, good level path, remember to take a raincoat during the rainy season. One of our most memorable trips

Great afternoon getting close to and learning about certain wild animals followed by delicious afternoon tea! Hearing about how the animals have been rescued & learning about their habitats etc was fascinating. Seeing the baby elephants &!feeding the giraffes were highlights as was seeing the pangolin run across the lawn! Tea in the conservatory was a nice final treat.

I volunteered at Imire for 2 weeks, and the experience was so good that it’s honestly beyond any description I make here. I feel like every moment here was special as it had its own lesson to be learned and experience to be lived. I had initially volunteered for the wildlife, but my greatest eye opening experiences came from the people and the surrounding communities involved with Imire. And here, as a volunteer, you can also get involved in every area, which is a privilege that not many people have the opportunity to experience. I’m now more aware of the tremendous effort that goes into running a successful conservation project, and how without every aspect working together a project like this could easily become unsustainable. And by personally handling Elephant and Rhino, I also became much more conscious about the impact that this project has on the responsible conservation of these vulnerable species… though big in size, they’re so sensitive and deserving of the utmost respect and admiration. Volunteering at Imire is a big responsibility, but it’s fulfilling and it’s a heck of a lot of fun. Days are long and filled with activities like handling and walking with elephants, tracking and feeding rhinos with anti-poaching teams, teaching kids how to read and express creativity, helping the adorable ladies with their community projects, meeting locals, horseback riding with the loveliest people, game drives, game counts, field assessments, building rafts, planting trees, cleaning lion enclosures, chasing incredible sunsets, and plenty more with people who are genuinely excited to have you there, and look out for you. In fact, the entire team and house staff will move mountains to make your stay an incredible and memorable one from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart Harare airport. This is one piece of paradise I’ll be returning to for sure, and highly recommend to anyone that’s into responsible conservation. As I’m writing, I can’t help but recall good memories and songs sung with a lit soul and a smile on my face. Imire: Rhino & Wildlife Conservation, this is all on you! :D Thank you! “We’re happy to be together”

Great value for money! I loved it, if you love nature and wild animals and exclusivity then my friend make the booking. It’s about 30 minutes from Harare but the road is great, no potholes or dirt road. Did I mention that I loved it?

There is no need to try to convince travelers about this attraction. It's simply glorious! We were there in March, when the water was fully flowing- I understand half of it dries up by summertime. But at any season, it's a spectacle. Warning: because the water falls into a relatively narrow gorge, there's tremendous mist, and you WILL get wet! Bring along a poncho (or at least an umbrella) to fully enjoy the power and beauty of this amazing wonder of the world!

Had an absolutely amazing time at the Snake Park today and I can thouroughly recommend having a tour from Divine, one the the experts who is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the snakes they house at the park. We had the chance to hold some non venomous docile snakes and also two adorable chameleons (one being called Dr. Dre). It is suitable for all ages and learning about the snakes and common misconceptions was eye opening! A must see on a visit to Victoria Falls!

The Lodge is in the park and a short drive from Cecil Rhodes grave. The staff were young, energetic, welcoming and complied with covid requirements discreetly and carefully. Decor is simple, tasteful and extremely clean. The food was outstandingly delicious (well done to the chef and his assistant). Wifi is limited to communal areas and lodges 1 and 2, however as we were on holiday it was not missed! all in all a very enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back!

To start off, the crew were just incredible. Some of the most fantastic people that just anticipated our every need to the point where we didn't have to lift a finger. They made the holiday that much more relaxing. They were all full of knowledge and information on everything that goes on in Kariba. Moses the deck hand was a fishing guru that allowed us to have a lot of success even in muddy water. Goodson was a great captain who planned our stops perfectly and got us everywhere we needed to go. Jimmy was great in the kitchen and didn't fail to produce a spectacular meal every time. They were always around when we needed them but never were never in our way when we didn't which is amazing considering we were on the same boat for four days. Kariba itself was spectacular and after travelling a significant amount definitely remains in the top 5 places I have been. Breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and just the most peaceful place to be. The new owner was very helpful and has big plans for his new boat. Very reliable and willing to answer any questions you have. We spent a long time researching all the boats on kariba and he definitely had the best prices and value for money. The boat itself was perfect. The pool is a must during these hot periods. And the cabins had the perfect breeze at night to cool them down. The bar and deck area was spacious and even had space for some morning exercise. Couldn't have asked for a more incredible experience from the most incredible staff in the most incredible place.
