Excellent
5/5

We saw all the big 5 except the rhino, and so many other animals I lost count. Tongesai was an awesome guide who stayed with us the entire trip. He was knowledgeable, and got us everywhere on time. I would recommend this trip to everyone.

5/5

Tongesai was very quick to answer our emails and answer all the questions we asked. Our adventures started within hours of being picked up from the airport. Our days started early and we stayed busy enjoying the activities throughout the day with enough time to telax a bit before dinner. Our safari guides were very knowledgeable and were able to answer any question we asked. The accommodations were first class at every stop. The success of our trip was due to the expert planning by Tongesai. Everything went as planned and there were no unexpected hiccups. It was a trip well worth the money spent. We would highly recommend Cultural Vibes if you are planning a trip to the Botswana, Zimbabwe area. In fact, we are already working with Tongesai for a return trip next July starting with Kruger National park.

Amazing travel operator
5/5

Right from the word go we had a fantastic experience with Tongesai and Cultural Vibes. We booked well in advance and experienced total trust with this agency.

During our 10 day safari we received everything as promised and found Tongesai extremely knowledgeable about the local land and culture as well as intricately connected with the local communities which helped us have a very meaningful tour.

We got much more than what we expected and paid for.

Tongesai is an amazing guide who pays attention to every detail.
5/5

Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours and Tongesai Mutematsaka come with my highest recommendation!! Our trip to Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana was everything I could have dreamed of. Tongesai was easy to work with, and always communicated back with me very quickly. I told him what I wanted and he personalized our experience within our budget. He was very flexible when I wanted to make any changes. He took care of every detail so I didn't have to. It was fabulous!! I highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed.

Promptly responsive, reliable, and enjoyable to deal with.
5/5

My husband and I just returned from a seven-week trip to southern and east Africa, which included a 9-day tour with Cultural Vibes. We dealt with Tongesai Mutematsaka in planning the trip, and he was our driver and main guide. (He was a safe driver which added to our enjoyment of the trip.) He was completely and promptly responsive to queries and requests beforehand, and arranged lodging and meals that were excellent. Our tour included Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park with boat rides on both the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers, Elephant Sands, Planet Baobab, a special side trip to see meerkats near the Nwetwe Pan, Maun, Moremi National Park, and a canoe ride in, and a helicopter ride over, the Okavango Delta. The trip included numerous game drives and two nature walks. It would be impossible to overstate what a great value this trip was, and how nice Tongesai was to deal with. There were no hitches or glitches, and we learned and saw more than we had even hoped. We also liked that Cultural Vibes helps meet the needs of local grade school students, as primary education is not paid for by the government. We recommend Cultural Vibes to anyone interested in visiting Southern Africa -- an excellent company and beautiful area of the world.

Tongesai was completely reliable and well-organized, and provided great value for what we paid.
5/5

My wife and I took a 9-day tour that included Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, and Okavango Delta. Tongesai helped both to create our itinerary within our budget and was our tour guide. The accommodations and food were excellent, and the experience was well-worth what we paid. He contracted with a few local guides for daytrips that enhanced the experience due to their detailed knowledge of the local areas. We added two helicopter rides at the last moments (Victoria Falls and Okavango Delta) which he arranged for us even though the flight over Okavango Delta was the morning we flew to Johannesburg but he made a special effort to ensure we were on the first helicopter flight of the day. We were totally pleased with the trip and heartily recommend both Cultural Vibes generally and Tongesai specifically for anyone planning a trip similar to ours.

Impressive - trip of a lifetime - highly recommended
5/5

We (my wife and I) have just completed a 10-day tour of Zimbabwe & Botswana, plus a day-trip to Zambia - Tongesai tailored the tour to meet our interests.
It was amazing, the trip of a lifetime.
Highlights included touring Victoria Falls, staying at Elephant Sands, game drives in Hwange, Chobe and Moremi reserves, boat cruises on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, and helicopter flights over Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta.
Very reasonably priced, good value for money. All accommodation and food was included in the price and was all high quality.
Communication with Tongesai (booking / pre-arrival) was good, and very prompt.
Gari, our main guide/driver for the whole tour, was excellent - highly knowledgeable, informative, experienced, professional, reliable, flexible, and friendly.
