Our trip to Victoria Falls was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Victoria Falls Rainforest walk (Zimbabwe side) was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Victoria Falls is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Booked this as a family of 4 trip and it was well paced. Bungee jump, Victoria Falls Bridge in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Victoria Falls Rainforest walk (Zimbabwe side) and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
