Can you please confirm that this is an option?

Yes, you can absolutely join the Contiki Victoria Falls Explorer four-day trip as a solo traveler before your safari in Tanzania! This tour is designed for young adventurers aged 18–35 and is very solo-traveler friendly.

Do you have any availability for August 18th? I would to surprise a couple for a honeymoon in Vic falls. Their wedding is August 17th.

As per checking, we have date on 18 August 2024, but the status is on request. Trip name: Victoria Falls Explorer (Winter, 4 Days) Price: $455.00 (per person for a twin room) Departure Date: 18 August 2024. Contiki specializes in providing unique travel experiences tailored specifically for young adults. Our tours are designed with the interests and preferences of travelers aged 18 to 35 in mind.

I am not sure if all the activities mentioned in the itinerary are included in the price? I read some reviews saying people paid extra money to do some activities.

The optional experience/activity is not included with the trip price. Which the travel manager will provide a final list of optional experience on the first day of the tour.

Will be in Zimbabwe in September. Do you do tours in Sept? What hotel do you use?

We have departures for your chosen trip in September, but they are not definite and need more bookings. We have alternative trips like Victoria Falls and Botswana or Cape Safari and Falls that are confirmed.

Sim was my Contiki trip manager for my tour through Southern Africa. He is such an intelligent, genuine and caring professional and anyone who is lucky enough to have Sim as their trip manager is in for a great time! Sim took the time to get to know all travellers individually, and ensured everyone felt welcome and involved. Sim was so knowledgeable about the history and culture of each place we visited and answered all of my many questions throughout the trip. He really did go above and beyond and I am so grateful for everything!Show more

  I'm actually 53 years old. Does that mean I'm not eligible to participate? Are those group activities such as a guided hike, helicopter tour and sunset cruise included in the price shown?
- ContikiOperator•Written August 2025
  As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip. We have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.
