Zimbabwe Adventure
We had the most fantastic experience with Falcon Safari--they arranged an amazing tour that included lodging (A'Zambezi River Lodge), dinner cruise on Zambezi, walking tour of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe side), helicopter tour, dinner at Livingstone Room, dinner at Boma, day trip to Chobe, and then arranged for a 4 day stay with lodging and tours in Johannesburg.
We cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the time we were picked up at the airport to the time we were dropped off again--every transfer was on time or early, accommodations were fantastic and the tour guides were amazing. Worth every penny (which I thought was very reasonable for completely private tours).
We loved our visit to Zimbabwe and Chobe. The arrangements in Johannesburg were awesome as well.
Thank you, thank you, for a trip of a lifetime. Your vacation package was absolutely amazing and your services superb.

Soaring Falcon
We have used Falcon Safaris on several occasions over the years to book accommodation,arrange excursions and organise transfers from and back to Livingstone Airport.Had their service not been first class throughout we would not have used them again ! That speaks for itself.
Occasionally there were hitches - not of Falcon making - which were put right without fuss or bother and we were kept in the picture at all times so we knew what was going on without being worried.
undoubtedly a professional organisation which delivers as promised.

Great trip, great guides
Had 3 nights at Chobe Bush Lodge including day trip to Victoria falls. Great place, excellent game drive and boat trip on Chobe River. Our guide to Victoria Falls, Polite, was good. Highly recommended
it was excellent
provided us with the best accommodation in Vic Falls
Well organised, amazing trip to falls
We were a party of 12 and Falcon Safaris (Patrick) did a great job with all of the numerous activities that we did at the Victoria Falls especially the Zambezi Sundowner River Cruise which was truly a magical experiance, the Luner Falls Experiance including dinner with introduction by David Livingstone was also very memorable. If I have one complaint and that is not against Falcon Safaris but the costs at both the Zambian and Zimbabwe borders $80 and $55 per person we all thought excessive especially has we had been informed that a Univisa was $50.

2 night special at Vic Falls hotel
Very happy with the itinerary organised over the 3 days and 2 nights we had a Vic falls staying at the Vic Falls hotel.
We were on honeymoon and went for the stable deluxe room with a sundowner cruise and dinner at the palm on day 1 and a private guided tour of the viuc falls park and a late afternoon helicoptor ride followed by dinner at Boma. All excellent and well spacved out to allow time to relax at the hotel too. The guide we had for the majority of the events was Brian (local to the area) who was punctual, helpful and very knowledgable, but everyone we dealt with was very helpful and friendly.
I would happily recommend Falcon Safaris to others!

Well balanced programme.
Everything went according to plan and the programme was well balanced. We had originally thought that having the Sunset Cruise on the day we arrived (after a long overnight flight) was a mistake, but we were wrong - it was a good relaxed introduction to the area and kept us going which was a good thing; having the helicopter flight early in the programme was also an excellent idea, again giving us a good overalll picture of the area. And every vehicle turned up on time, and the guides were friendly and professional.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Victoria Fall Hotel, even if they did originally put us in a room at the back - because it had twin beds - without any explanation beforehand, until we objected.
One other minor crictiism of the hotel organisation. There were a number of other people like us who were due to take the Rovos train late in the afternoon; the hotel presumably knew this but had made no attempt to arrange a late check-out. Obviously if there are no rooms available, one has to accept that; but instead of the guest having to hassle Reception to see what could be done, the hotel should beforehand take it upon itself to see what is possible and inform their guests. Otherwise a great hotel!!
