5.00The guide Michael was very helpful and very informative throughout the experience but when Indian people visit here they will have a problem with visa they can only see Zimbabwe side but not the Zambia side.So only one side of the falls will be visible.
An amazing experience

5.00Cannot praise this experience highly enough. Our wonderful guides Sheldon on Zimbabwe side and Delphister in Zambia were very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The border crossing was very easy with the help of the guides. Viewing the falls from both sides was truely magical , an adventure we will never forget. Be prepared to get very wet, but it’s worth every drop.

5.00Very nice private tour on both sides of the Victoria Falls. In particular, the guide on the Zimbabwe side, Michael, was very good!
Fabulous trip to see both side of Victoria Falls

5.00Had an excellent trip and can definitely recommend doing both side of Victoria Falls. Our guides, Delphister in Zambia and Michael in Zimbabwe, were engaging and knowledgeable. If you visit when the falls are at their strongest, be prepared to be very wet, but drying out didn't take long. The whole day was very well organised and they made sure our border crossings were as easy as possible. Lunch was organised for us at a riverside cafe. Tip for UK visitors, get a Kanza visa for Zimbabwe so you can go back and forth, no visa needed for Zambia. Should be a top trip if you are in Victoria Falls.

Overwhelming impressions and very friendly and competent guides

5.00Very good competent and friendly guides around Victoria Falls. In the morning on the east side in the Zambian part with Del and at noon/afternoon in the opposite western part of Zimbabwe with Shelton. Both tours offer overwhelming impressions of the falls that currently carry the highest water level. Great and highly recommended tours. You should also only book the day visa online if you stay on the Zimbabwe side for one day, because longer waiting times are expected at the border.
Thank you so much for an amazing experience on my Birthday trip to the Falls

5.00The experience was so amazing and worth the price we paid. My husband had a knee injury before we came and we were not able to do both sides on the same day. The team was gracious enough to accommodate our request to do Zambia Falls tour the next day and still made arrangements for boarder crossing and tour guide Shelton was an amazing tour guide and so was Lucky. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience
Flawless Solo Experience at Victoria Falls

5.00I recently booked a solo tour with Michael and Shelton, and it was an absolutely seamless experience. Shelton spent the day arranging every detail, including my walk on the Zambia side of the Falls, a late lunch at Bains Restaurant, and a Boma Dinner to end the night. The coordination was perfect; I didn't have to worry about a single scheduling conflict or transfer. Shelton is fantastic company; he is knowledgeable, professional, and possesses the emotional intelligence to make a solo traveler feel right at home. If you want a full day of bucket-list experiences without any of the hassle of logistics, I highly recommend booking with Michael and Shelton!
A Truly Memorable Day at Victoria Falls

5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour. We started with our excellent guide, Mikel, for the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls. He was incredibly kind, gentle, and attentive. He explained the history very well and always made sure we were aware of what was ahead. We wore shoe covers, pants protection, and raincoats — and we were very glad we did. Then we continued with another wonderful guide, Delphister, for the Zambia side. After walking for two hours on the Zimbabwe side, we were quite tired, and she took extra care to adjust the pace for us. The highlight of the Zambia side was the bridge — we had no idea there was a bridge that lets you cross over Victoria Falls to the island. It was exciting and, for me, almost a little scary. A few tips: going from Zimbabwe out → Zambia in → Zambia out → Zimbabwe in is a time‑consuming process, but our two amazing guides made it as smooth and convenient as possible. We really appreciated that. I was also communicating with Shelton, who responded very quickly and was completely transparent about everything. We asked whether the following arrangement was possible — and he organized it perfectly, including transfers and a very reasonable price: 08:30 AM – Pickup from Shrub Lodge 08:45 AM – 01:00 PM – Private Guided Tour of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe and Zambia sides) 01:00 PM – Lunch at The Lookout Café (meals and drinks paid directly at the restaurant) 02:30 PM – Helicopter Scenic Flight over Victoria Falls Approximately 04:00 PM – Return to the hotel We highly recommend arranging your tour with Shelton.
