So the most important part - the actual Devils pool - could not have gone better! The guides were very professional, we spent plenty of time at the pool and got some killer pictures - 10 out of 10. There are little fish in the pool which is kinda fun in a weird way! The breakfast was also absolutely marvelous, like an upscale hotel Everything around it however - to me personally - felt extremely rushed. Which I understand in a way because they were trying to beat the crowds and give us more time at the pool. But I could barely keep up with the group, it was like: 5 seconds to put on life vest, 30 seconds for briefing, take off life vest, jump in water, no time for additional pictures.. go go go. At the end of the day my goal was to swim in the pool and that part went flawlessly. Thank you so much, I’m very happy
Best to choose a different provider

The actual activity and experience at the devil's pool was amazing. However, this operator does not add any value to this tour at all. They are not the ones providing the experience, they merely seem to hire a driver to get you to and from the activity, for which they try and charge you double (via the tour price and separately in cash). In addition to this, they are unresponsive to any messages (direct via WhatsApp, email, phone call or to messages via Viator) trying to get confirmation on pick up. As a result we were left anxious not knowing whether the activity would go ahead nor what time. In the end the driver showed up about 75min before the start time of the tour (so well before the 30-60min stated pick up window), at which time we were obviously not ready. The drivers used are merely that, drivers, they will not assist you at the border (as most other tour operators do). In order to save yourself stress and anxiety, you'd be better off going direct or choosing another agent to organise the devil's pool experience, which in itself is amazing and I can't recommend enough.
It was really okay but I...

Tamuka Tour company is a scam. Picked us up at hotel at 830a instead of the scheduled 9am. Charged us $30 pp for transportation instead of $20 pp bc hotel was one mile outside of town center (not informed of this up charge when reservations were made). Brian, the driver, did not wait for us at VF Zambia to take us back to hotel in Zimbabwe as promised. Waited 60 min and a nice park ranger had to call the company to send a driver. Waited for another 45 min at the border bc the driver on the Zimbabwe side was a no show. Had to take a taxi back to hotel. Devils Pool was a great experience but DO NOT USE Tamuka Tour Company!
Amazing experience

Great experience, definitely should be on the top of the list when visiting Victoria Falls. Breakfast was glorious and guides make sure to take the best photos. Pick up organisation could be better, my start time was7.30am, but got a call at 6.30 am that the pick up was already there. I think the company should be a bit more specific about that, as i wasn’t the only one. But overall, no complaints and would definitely do it again

We had a trip cancelled and decided to do the devils pools with an afternoon tea. We were picked up from the hotel and were taken to a small landing to pick the boat up, where you were supplied with towels and pool shoes. It was a lovely boat ride to an island, there were all ages on the boat so as long as you are fairly agile, it’s for any age, we are 64 and there were people older than us. The guys were extremely competent and extremely good at what they do. You had to walk across some rocks to get to the pools. It was really scary but also one of the best things we have done, to be at the top of the falls, where you could literally just look over the edge, it was amazing, you had a chance to hang over the edge, which my husband and friend’s did, I wasn’t so brave. You had a chance of also swimming on the way back. We then had an afternoon tea, with wine ect round a big table, so great chatting to others. I really recommend it if you are there at the right time of year.
Wonderful and thrilling!

It was absolutely great! We enjoyed it so much, so fun, so very beautiful, so exciting and so thrilling! Before we started we were a bit nervous, but when we started the walking and swimming in the water - all the anxiety disappeared and we were totally just happy! All the staff was great, helpful, skilled, profs, happy and always smiling! The safety level was high and we felt 100% secure throughout the whole experience! When we came back, they served us a really great well tasting breakfast! Coordination of transports, immigration etc worked very well. It is good to know that the tour company provides the participants with towels. Ewen though this tour is quite expensive, we were (after the tour) absolutely convinced it was worth every penny!! Thank you so much Tamuka Travel for this great tour!
Great experience!

Brilliant from start to finish. Staff friendly, welcoming, and professional. Boat trip to the Falls was beautiful. Fabulous to be able to explore the edge of the Falls from the Zambian side (with close supervision, of course!). Angels Pool was lots of fun, and the lunch was delicious. Highly recommend.
