Well organized tour and activities
5/5

Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours is great and highly recommended!

I provided the dates I would be traveling to Victoria Falls and Tongesai (Owner of Cultural Vibes) proposed accommodations and activities. What's great is that you can choose exactly what you want to do and you will receive a personalized itinerary. The payment process was seamless and I was emailed copies of the activity vouchers as confirmation.

When I arrived at my hotel, Tongesai met me and provided me with the activity vouchers. Pickup times for the activities were spot on and the activities exceeded my expectations. I even requested a last minute addition to my itinerary and Tongesai was able to make it happen!

Even after my trip was complete and a different vendor had not emailed me a video I was promised, Tongesai went out of his way to follow up with that vendor to ensure they finally delivered.

If you book a trip with Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours, you won't be disappointed.

Our Trip Was Perfect.
5/5

Tongesai was so helpful the entire time we were planning our trip so we had high expectations and he even exceeded those. He planned out every day for us perfectly and was very timely and professional the entire time.

He was able to set up our safari, tour of the falls and tour of the devil's pool so everything was set up for us when we got there. We stayed in Zambia and he was able to provide us with seamless transfers across the border multiple times per day.

We were so impressed and highly recommend Cultural Vibes!

Truly magical trip with Cultural Vibes Travel
5/5

My family and I had a magical and amazing tour at Victoria Falls, thanks to Tongesai Mutematsaka at Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours based in Zimbabwe.
The trip from start to end was superb and I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a Zimbabwe holiday.
Our accommodation was lovely and we saw African wildlife daily from our room and restaurant in the evening.
We were looked after by our driver and guide John Matumbura (he runs The Cyclonic Tours) every step of our trip.
We even changed our itenery while over there to see Zambia and everything was organised perfectly so we could have the holiday of our dreams.
I would say to anyone looking at Safari booking to use Culture Vibes as you will have the most amazing holiday xxx

Efficient, thoughtful, professional, excellent and helpful
4/5

Just home from a wonderful holiday at the Victoria Falls. Our holiday was arranged by Tongesai Mutematsaka of Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours based in Zimbabwe. The trip was superb. We stayed at Victoria Falls Safari Lodges and our last night at the Victoria Falls hotel. Our accommodation was very comfortable and overlooked a water hole frequented by bushbuck, impala, warthogs, monkeys and baboons. The cuisine was excellent and staff extremely helpful and friendly.
Our driver and guide John Matumbura (he runs The Cyclonic Tours) was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and made our visit a delightful occasion. Tongesai himself ensured that everything ran smoothly. Every excursion, visit or activity was first rate. Any questions or worries that we had were immediately dealt with and resolved.
We would highly recommend Tongesai and his company Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours (www.cultural-vibes.com) to anyone wanting a perfect experience in the Victoria Falls area.

Tongesai was responsive and very courteous.
5/5

We initially planned to go with another tour operator, but when we contacted Tongesai, he was very accomodative and responsive. He picked us up on time and went out of his way to make us feel at home. He even suggested very good restaurants. We had a great time and I would certainly book with Tongesai again.

Tongesai & John made our trip to Zimbabwe hassle-free and extremely enjoyable!
5/5

Tongesai was extremely helpful in our booking process for our trip to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Hwange National Park. He took care of all the details, and created a specialized itinerary to work around all of our flight times. He even surprised us with a sunset cruise on the Zambezi for our free night. John was our driver and tour guide of the falls, and we enjoyed talking to him and learning all about Zimbabwe. We would highly recommend this group to anyone looking to plan a trip to the area.

They planned an amazing trip that captured everything we wanted to do (and more!)
5/5

I was not actively involved with the booking of the trip (my travel companion did this), but from the minute we arrived to the minute we left I was impressed with how much they were able to fit into our short trip and how seamlessly everything went. They sent us a detailed itinerary laying out where we needed to be when and where they would be taking us. Our accommodations were excellent and all of the activities that they recommended to us were exactly in line with the experiences we were looking to have. They also surprised us with a sunset river cruise when we got back to Victoria Falls after our stay near Hwange. Personally, I think the best part about working with Cultural Vibes was the guides. Not only were they very professional and friendly, but they were incredibly open in sharing their culture and local knowledge with us. The long drives to and from Hwange were not just transportation, but full conversations about the local culture, politics, animals - everything! It was amazing to get that perspective and insight.

The only complaint I have is that we were missing a few details regarding our accommdation that would have been nice to have (mainly that our stay was all inclusive!). We had no idea that all of the alcohol purchases were included, so it would've been nice to know about this beforehand. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!

Marvelous and efficient services provided
5/5

Tongesai, a fantastic guy who attended to every detail. He made all the best efforts for me to get to the game drive, Hwange National Park. Very cool person and has a professional approach. He also made arrangements for the Adventure activity in Zambia and escorted me personally and to the Vic Falls tour since I was alone. He took great pictures of mine at the Falls. Overall, my best experience in Africa - with the Game as well as the activity. Tongesai, a big thank you and I wish you all the very best.

Our experience with Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours was exciting, amazing, delightful and memorable!
5/5

Booking the safari at Miombo Safari Camp with Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours was easy and they answer all our questions thoroughly and in a timely fashion. We communicated through email, payment was easy too through email. There was no availability for the Hwange safari camp on the dates we requested but Mr. Tongesai managed to find us another safari camp, Miombo, which was a delightful place whilst honoring the rates offered at their website. Mr. Tongesai made sure we were picked up and driven to the camp, accompanying us on the 2-hour trip and later receiving us back at our hotel. Miombo's accommodations, the tent, was like camping with glamour. It was spacious with 2 comfortable single beds and charming decoration. The ensuite bathroom felt like we were in the woods but protected and with the comforts of a good hotel. The hot water in the shower was not working but Mr. Bernard, Miombo's host, made sure it was fixed by the time we came back from the afternoon game drive. The tent was right in front of a water hole, which depending on the season, would have received the visit of elephants. We didn't see any animals there but one night a leopard came to our camp. Unfortunately, we didn't see it as we slept safely under the watch of night guards. They also made sure we were escorted back and forth during the night between our tent and the common area. Mr. Bernard served delicious meals in the beautiful open common area viewing the forest and sometimes with a visit of monkeys. The dessert was always delicious! At night we had a bonfire to huddle to, and one of the nights we were treated with local barbecue and a dance. Everything was a delight. The game drivers are also a delight with their stories, knowledge and funny jokes, Nigel and Mr. B are amazing hosts, making sure everyone is comfortable and going out there to find the great animals and birds for us. The game drives in Hwange were amazing! We saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeasts, buffalos, impalas, koudos, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, amazing birds! We missed the lions and leopards by minutes but it was okay. Makes us want to come back again. The sunset drive was also a delight with Nigel, including a stop for a snack. Our driver back to the hotel was also a great delight with his incredible stories and knowledge. I learned so much about the animals in these 3 days. The tour has lived up to our expectations and more! Mr. Tongesai also took care of our requests for a Sunset Cruise and an Elephant Ride as soon as we reached the hotel. Less than half an hour, Mr. Tongesai arranged us to be picked up to go to a Sunset Cruise on the evening we arrived from the safari. The cruise was a delight, the sunset on the Zambezi river was amazing and the service on board was great, great food and beverages, Zambezi beer of course! The Elephant Ride arranged by Mr. Tongesai was also an amazing adventure I will never ever forget. Riding my elephant Detema with the driver Tunzi was amazing, against the sunrise backdrop, amazing colours in the sky. The lady that accompanied us taking pictures, she did such a great jobs, I love my pictures on the elephant! The feeding and petting the elephants after the ride was another amazing experience! These elephants are such a delight, sucking fiercely the food in our hands! I simply loved it! Then they served us a delicious breakfast while watching our beautiful pictures on the elephant. I learned so much about elephants with my driver. Everything in this place, this tour, the people and the animals, is amazing, unbelievable, unforgettable! I love Vic Falls, Hwange, Zimbabwe! I hope to come back and I will definitely tell all my friends that they have to have this experience in their bucket list. And it is easy, just reach out to Mr. Tongesai and Cultural Vibes, they will take great good care of you! You will love them! We thank Mr. Tongesai and everyone at Cultural Vibes, Miombo Safari Camp, Sunset Cruise, Elephant Ride, who made us have the time of our life!
