Is there free time at Victoria Falls to do the devils pool or a helicopter ride? What's the average age range of people who do the tour. Is there a fee for a solo traveler? Shared room is fine.

Active adults averaging 40 years and above. The Single Supplement is $900, so the Solo Traveler rate starts at $7718 per person. The itinerary days in Victoria Falls are quite full, with true leisure time only on Day 11 & Day 14. If you want to make independent arrangements, we urge travelers to do so with the local concierge or Tour Manager.

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
