  I had a wonderful time at “Mpala Guest House Farm” in the Chisuma community near Victoria Falls. Svikani picked me up at Victoria Falls Airport and took me to the guest house, where I received a very warm welcome. I was immediately introduced to the members of the community: Melody, Michelle, Alisha, Kingsley, Diana, Donovan, Gayden, Alice, Charles, Japhet, Svikani, Marble, and Davison. They gave me a wonderful welcome. They live in a guest house a 15-minute walk from the Zambezi River, which separates Zimbabwe from Zambia. They live in a community with about ten bungalows that they rent to international visitors, offering them food from their vegetable garden, which allows them to live almost entirely off their own produce. Melody and Michelle are excellent cooks and will introduce you to local dishes. They will also take you on a 30-minute walk through breathtaking landscapes where you’ll pass through herds of goats and encounter baboons, eventually reaching a cliff overlooking the Zambezi River from which you can see Zambia on the other side of the river. In the evening, we all eat together in a communal outdoor dining area at a large table under a thatched roof. I particularly appreciated the kindness of everyone, who is always available to ensure you have an unforgettable time. The famous Victoria Falls and the boat trips on the Zambezi River are spectacular. I also really enjoyed going rafting with Japhet, who lives in the community and offers excellent advice while sharing his passion for rafting and the beauty of the gorges. I was deeply moved that day by their songs, their zest for life, their kindness, and their singing. They sing all the time, and I was able to attend their ceremony to honor their departed loved ones, which they commemorate through song, walking around the graves to clean them after offering a prayer led by a priest. I highly recommend this very unique place, because you can feel a true sense of spirituality there, all while being in a place with charming and kind people. For me, it was a truly authentic experience, cut off from everything, living self-sufficiently, where the songs, the meals, the kindness of my hosts, the barbecues, nature, and the animals made for an unforgettable time. I couldn’t bring myself to leave this magical place where the sunsets are mesmerizing, so in the end I stayed for two weeks. It was an extremely enriching experience. I really hope to return one day. Thank you to everyone, to the community.

  We brought our 10-year-old daughter and this turned out to be the best experience ever. I highly recommend them for family adventures.

  

• Awesome fun on the river for kids and adults

  Great day on the river with the team from Try Rafting (Liberty, Cobra and Jar). The only operator we found that would take kids under 15. Our 7,9,11 yo had an awesome time. My 11 yo was worried it would be too tame but was exciting enough and 7 yo enjoyed as well. Starting at rapid 11 still have us grade 3 & 4 rapids. Helps if your kids are good swimmers and you need to be happy to hike into and out of the gorge. Everything in Vic Falls is pricey, but we thought this was good value.
