Great quick tour to Mukuni Village!

5.00The tour itself and the tour company (Sitalis Travel) was really good. The owner, who was my driver was super friendly. The tour itself was quick & interesting, It was nice to see how others in the area lived. This would be great to do if you're looking for something to do in the livingstone area for just an hour or two in addition to the falls. The only thing that made me feel bad was the pressure to buy something at the end. I travel full time and never buy souvenirs and I felt terrible for not.
Great experience

5.00Great trip, actually the owner of the company took me himself on the tour, he was very passionate about what he does and tourism in Zambia. Mukuni Village itself was very interesting to see how the different families live in the village and their roles within the village. Highly recommended and is the best value in town for this tour
