The most incredible Safari ever!
5/5

Gary and Tongesai provided us with the most incredible honeymoon we could ever have imagined. We spent 9 days travelling from Victoria Falls to the Okavango Delta, experiencing so much wildlife, laughter, food & culture.

The trip was extremely well organised, it was completely stress free. Gary was able to accommodate all of our needs and last-minute requests whilst we were on our trip. Every lodge we stayed in provided some fantastic food and service, we were treated like royalty.

After each of our game drives or experiences, Gary was able to debrief us at the end of each day. He answered our questions and taught us so much about what we had seen that day. We've come away with so much knowledge and so many memories as well as some incredible photos!

Zimbabwe and Botswana are stunning countries, we will definitely be back in the future! There is an abundance of wildlife, we saw something new every single day.

5/5

Tongesai and his team provided a wonderful itinerary on our recent trip to Victoria Falls with day trips to Zambia and Botswana. They were a thoughtful and knowledgeable team who took great care to tailor the trip to our family's needs.

Excellent and reliable tour operator
5/5

We booked a day trip to Chobe NP in Botswana from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe with Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours. Communication with Tongesai from Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours was excellent and he came to pick us up on time. He drove us to the border and handed us to a Botswana tour operator and we had a great day in Chobe - a 3-hour game drive, a good lunch and 3-hour boat ride. After the tour, we met Tongesai at the border and he drove us back to our lodge. All in all, everything went as planned and Tongesai provided friendly service.

Absolutely amazing, so patient and well experienced. Personalised experience for all
5/5

We met Tongesai through Tripadvisor and as foreigners coming into a different country, we doubted the legitimacy of the services provided. Tongesai understood and tailored our experience to make us comfortable. Upon arrival, we met him and he was so lovely. He made sure we got the best experience, and we felt at home. We will be using their services every time we go to Zimbabwe.

Knowledgeable, kind, proffesional, and punctual
5/5

Tongesai was the best tour guide we could’ve had. He was kind, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the history of Victoria falls. We initially planned on having Tongesai for only one day during our trip, but we ended up using his services for the duration of our trip because of how great his services were .

Highly Reliable Operator in Zimbawe
5/5

Mr Tongesai was very prompt and responsive in all email correspondences prior to the trip.

He was always punctual, and can be relied on for all your trip needs. We book our tickets through him. He is a local and cares for sustainable tourism in Victoria falls. The tour itself was superb, from game drives to the helicopter ride to the victoria falls , as well as the opportunity to experience the boma traditional dinner and dance. The cultural experience is phenomenal.

Highly recommend.

Professional.
3/5

I did the village experience and it was okay. We visited one family and it felt a little intrusive instead of immersive. We were only there for 30 minutes. I heard of other travelers getting to try local food and have a more immersive experience. While it was nice seeing their way of life, I think it was a bit pricey for what we received.

Dear Esmeralda Sierra
Thank you very much with the review received, do appreciate your view but would like to explain the costing of the tour so that you understand. I do understand that you booked on Viator or Tripadvisor your tour who charge 22% for all the bookings we get from them meaning that from the $60.00 you paid in total we will receive $46.80 from them around the 10th of every following month. From the $46.80 you witnessed me paying $20.00 in total for the tour experience that we remained we with $26.80 and then we deduct $16.00 for transfers to go and come back from the village. The remaining profit from the village tour you booked is $10.80, would that really be what you are saying we overpriced to make you write review saying we overpriced the tour. If you were to taste meals you were supposed to book the a local lunch experience which cost $25.00 per person. May you and to book your tours directly with local operators so that you avoid other hidden commission which will make you feel reaped off at the end of the day. We only do some of these tour as a way of promoting our local culture and also to help the villagers.
