Do you get free time at Victoria Falls to do an activity like the devils pool?

While we do build in leisure time on this program, the itinerary is tight around the Victoria Falls portion. You will have approx. 1-1.5 hours in the Victoria Falls National Park to view the falls from various vantage points on the Zimbabwe side of the falls, allowing you to view approximately 75% of the face of the falls. The Devil's Pool is not a feature of this itinerary. If you intend to take time to visit that, you will need to coordinate carefully with your Tour Manager in-destination.

We are looking for less game parks - more culture, art, music, people.

I show that all of our Africa Tours are active and include visits to National Parks. Is there another area you are interested in?

Rahima, our tour guide, was fantastic and everything was. seamless. Our drivers and Safari guides were also very good. The highlights were Victoria Falls, all of the Safari's in Pilanisburg and Chobe, a helicopter ride was fun and drive through Cape of Good Hope beautiful. Enjoyed the dinners at the host families the outdoor picnic at Ivory tree Lodge, the Gold celebration in Cape Town. I was disappointed with Colette in the booking process. I received such a slow response I booked airfare myself ant a time when the fares were rising every few days. Also needed help with our flight from Cape Town. That was caceled till next day very little help from Colette. Prefer to not have the mandatory stop at the diamond store in Cape Town.Show more

This tour was an excellent experience. The tour was entertaining and educational at the same time. Our tour guide knew his stuff! He anticipated many of our requests. He seemed to be one step ahead of us the entire tour. The Safari guides were very professional. They found the Big Five for us as well as many additional animals. It was amazing how well they did finding the things we wanted to see. The Zambesi River cruise was breath taking.Show more
