Excellent , thoughtful , and Hospitable!
5/5

In preparation for my trip to Victoria Falls, I wanted to book a Safari to Hwange National park. After reading countless reviews I choose to reach out to Cultural Vibes. My tour organizer was Tongesai , and he was amazing. He followed up with me very quickly , and managed to arrange a solo full day safari. Tongesai was prompt picking me up the morning of the safari .

When we arrived to Hwange , my safari driver was Munyaradzi from Sable Sands tours. He was beyond amazing. So funny , knowledgeable , and warm. The safari was very educational , beautiful , peaceful, and magical. I'm vegan and the vegan dishes they prepared for lunch were delicious.

I highly recommend cultural vibes if you're in Victoria Falls and want a memorable adventure planned for you. Many thanks for creating a wonderful , unforgettable experience for me.

5/5

Tongesai did a outstanding job of planning and setting up our trip. There were no issues or complaints. He went above and beyond on planning and making sure every detail was accounted for. My wife and I had a 15 day trip with him and we were more than happy with it. We traveled from Victoria Falls to 4 camps in Botswana. Each was camp was very clean & Safe. Tongesai did a great job of making sure we saw a variety of animals and locations. The best was part was we got to see a pride of 15 Lions in the wild.

9-Day Safari in Zimbabwe and Botswana
5/5

Tongesai was recommended to me by a friend who also booked his amazing safari through Cultural Vibes; I am glad we took his recommendation. Our safari across Victoria Falls and Botswana was top notch. Tongesai booked us in all of the best camps and with the best safari outfitters. Our excursions were extremely well planned and full of excitement. The restaurants were fantastic as well. Personally, I love planning my own vacations but honestly don't think there is an easy and reliable way to plan an African safari without using a travel agent very familiar with the region. Located in Zimbabwe and with a travel and tourism background, Tongesai was able to coordinate our stays between 5 safari camps which included private charter flights across the regions. He also personally escorted us into Botswana and helped with border crossing which was very helpful as well. Compared to larger companies, Tongesai's package rates were more reasonable and came with a customized touch. I highly recommend Cultural Vibes to anyone looking to go on safari in Zimbabwe and its bordering countries (Botswana, Zambia & Namibia). Thanks, T!

5/5

My family and I had an amazing holiday and we made some magical memories that will stay with us forever... and it was all down to the fantastic planning and service from Cultural Vibes and Tongesai Mtematsaka.
This is the second time we have booked through Cultural Vibes, so we can highly recommend to anyone thinking about planning a holiday in Zambia, Botswana or Zimbabwe.
Tongesai planned a fantastic itinerary based around our requirements and looked after my family every step of the way. His professionalism and attention to detail ensured we didn’t have to worry about a thing, all we had to do was enjoy the experience. We saw all the animals we wanted, lions, leopard, herds of elephants and much much more, we eat and drank like kings and queens and stayed in some amazing hotels and lodges.
There were so many highlights, the leopard tracking along Chobe, the elephants feeding beside our safari lodge, the atmosphere at the Victoria Falls amazes me every-time and the hustle at the Zambian market ... a truly magnificent holiday thanks to Tongesai.

I can’t recommend Cultural Vibes enough, for a short Safari or a tailored holiday, contact Culture Vibes and you will have the most magical African experience you could dream of!

I had an overall feeling of safety and that the tour guides genuinely wanted us to have a good time!
5/5

I found everything to be very structured and at no point did I feel like the tour guides or places I was staying at along the various trips lacked in any way. I was pleasantly surprised that everything did live up to expectations and then some and would definitely recommend anyone looking for a company to stay with to book your stay with Cultural Vibes! The tour guides were very friendly and were more then willing to work with us around times (we were chronically late) and teach us about anything we asked, and we had a lot to ask!

Amazing Experience
5/5

My family and friends decided on cultural- vibes for our safari tour in Zimbabwe and Botswana after much needed research- Who definitely delivered on his promise of an awesome safari experience. From the planning phase to our actual arrival in Victoria falls, Zimbabwe - everything went smoothly. The tour manager was always available for any questions or concerns that came about throughout the entire process. On arriving in Zimbabwe we were picked up by Tonguesi at the Airport who transferred us to our hotel. We stayed at Victoria falls safari lodge a beautiful well appointed lodge in the reserve, with water hole facing views. I was in awe, at how beautiful the scenery was as well as how accommodating the staff was. Food was also amazing at the lodge. Our package included two game day drives - Stanley Livingston reserves, Zambezi River Cruise, Chobe National park and Chobe River Cruise. It was an awesome experience driving through the safaris on game day looking for animals in our open air jeeps. We spotted lions, giraffe, rhinos, hippos, Elephants, etc., The BoMa dinner and dance show as well as the helicopter fly over Victoria falls was breathtaking. The entire experience is one I will Cherish for the rest of my life. And I would definitely recommend Cultural vibes for your guided safari tour experience.

5/5

My partner and I arranged a full-day game drive at Hwange National Park with Cultural Vibes. A week before we took part in the activity, Tongesai already touched based and sent a detailed itinerary for the day and solved all doubts he had ahead of our trip. Tongesai picked us up from Victoria Falls and drove all the way to Hwange's main camp and back. We had a very interesting conversation about the park but also about Zimbabwe and the history of the country. The experience at the park was spectacular; we saw over 500 elephants, some 60 zebras, a dozen giraffes, several species of antelopes, some hippos, crocodiles, monkey and a wide range of birds. The guide at the park was very knowledgeable and share valuable information on all the animals we spotted. The park is huge and one must adjust his/her expectations if is only willing to dedicate one day to encounter some animals which are especially active at night (aka. big cats such as lions and leopards).
I would totally recommend booking with Cultural Vibes as Tongesai is a very dedicated and customer-oriented man who does care about the desires and expectations of his clients.
