Professional, reliable, friendly!
We had a fabulous and worry free time on our Zimbabwe safari. Tongesai from CulturalVibes Travel and Tours arranged the perfect experience for us. Booking was easy, and communication leading up to, and during the safari was good. His sharing of local knowledge was much appreciated. Our transfers to and from Victoria Falls were prompt, timely and comfortable. Our lodgings at Khulu Bush Camp were amazing, and our safari experience was wonderful. Our guides were sooo knowledgeable and friendly, making sure we had the best possible safari experience. I can fully recommend Tongessai and Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours.

A consummate professional, and nice guy who organized and delivered the BEST safari experience.
Tongesai at Cultural Vibes organised and got us to and from our Lodge Safari experience in Hwange. Communication was fine, service was exemplary, value for money was good, reliability couldn't be faulted and our whole safari experience was magic. When we go to Africa next we'll be in contact with Cultural Vibes!

Once in a lifetime trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana!!
There are sooo many fantastic things I could say about Cultural Vibes and Tongesai. From the first day when I messages him about making this trip possible, he has been nothing but helpful and a very good communicator. He put together an amazing itinerary for us to do Kruger in South Africa, Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and Chobe in Botswana. He made the entire booking process easy and really put our mind at ease at booking this major vacation from thousands miles away. Kruger started off absolutely amazing with the partner company that he is aligned with. They were absolutely amazing and provided us with the absolute best safari experience. Then in Zimbabwe, we got the personal tour of the beautiful Victoria Falls by Tongesai himself. He was very knowledgeable and truly cared about making our experience fantastic. This continued into our day trip to Botswana which was also fantastic. Tongesai chooses great accommodations and places to eat which made our trip even more fantastic. I have many family and friends that are looking to take a similar trip, and I would not hesitate to recommend Cultural Vibes to them for their vacation!

He was knowledgeable and informed, courteous and prompt, a pleasure to be with -- excellent!
Our tour guide was excellent. Vic Falls Tour benefited greatly from his knowledge of history , flora and fauna.
Chobe National Park was a highlight as was the afternoon on the Chobe River. We enjoyed the drumming /dancing dinner but left early as we had a full day. Glad we could be flexible. Only disappointing feature was the sunset Zambezi cruise - sunset spectacular but large boat crowded & loud - hard to get good photos. Small boat preferred. Great service.

Tongesai Mutematsaka was very reliable, concientous and accommodating.
Our 9 day tour which included Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Chobe Park and Okavango Delta, Botswana went very smoothly. The local guides who lead expeditions and game rides were all knowledgeable and excellent. We enjoyed seeing elephants up close at the water hole at Elephant Sands, the meerkat tour at Planet Baobab, two sunset cruises and walking safaris, one viewing rhinos, helicoptor rides over Victoria Falls and Okovango Delta, the Mokoro dug-out canoe experience viewing hippos and crocodiles along with many birds and, of course, the game drives and animals were amazing. The accommodations and food were all very good and the Boma restaurant with local food and entertainment was a fun experience. I had a minor health issue in Maun on a Sunday night and Tongesai was very thoughtful and drove my daughter to the local hospital pharmacy to get a medication. My daughter made all the financial arrangements and found Cultural Vibes to be very competitive for the services offered. If you are looking for a locally owned family run business, check out Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours.

Fantastic Journey ! Excellent service !
We would like to thank you Tongesai who had organised the 4 days tours for us. He has been very helpful, responsible , professional , reliable. We love our accommodation , very clean and comfortable. Great service and great value. This was our first time in Zimbabwe, I believe if we didn’t have Tong’s organisation , I don’t think we would have such a wonderful time there. I highly recommended him and their company if you have a plan to visit. We really enjoyed it especially visiting Victoria Fall and Chobe River. Don’t miss the helicopter ride . It was amazing .

The Hide, Hwange
Had a terrific 5-day, 4-night stay at The Hide in Hwange NP, all arranged by Cultural Vibes. I tied this on to the end of a National Geographic tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls. Cultural Vibes was able to arrange the stay at The Hide and make a seamless connection to the other tour. They arranged transportation from my hotel in Victoria Falls to The Hide and back from The Hide to Victoria Falls airport. The Hide was remarkable. Our expert guide N'Cuse had 25 years of guide experience. He spoke slowly and clearly so we all understood his fantastic explanations of the animal, bird and plants we were seeing. He quickly understood what most interested us and went out of his way to point out the things we were seeing. The Hide was a remarkable facility and the staff was ever so friendly and professional. Meals were fantastic - Porridge at 6 (before the morning drive), packed breakfast and coffee while watching animals cavort, lunch back at The Hide, tea at 3, and dinner at 7 (after the evening game drive). The only hesitation I had was when I was contacted to make payments to DPO Pay, which I had never heard of, but once I understood they were just the financial contractor for tour companies, it all worked out fine...Bottom line, I was tremendously impressed by the entire Cultural Vibes experience.

Relaxing, pampered stay, with incredible views of wildlife
The Hide was fantastic! Their food was excellent and plentiful. Loved the breakfast boxes on morning safari, and so grateful for warm porridge before. Hot water bottles were essential for cold July nights, and the fire pit was also super. N'Khosi was excellent as a guide, very experienced and knowledgeable. The safari truck was lovely and new.
The driver from Victoria Falls was polite and helpful. The van... Was ok. A bit worn, and the road between Victoria Falls and Hwange is bumpy and long. Wish we'd known what we were getting into with that! Over all a terrific experience, however.
