Good genuine locally based budget tour operator
Marvel runs serious fun tours and was brilliant helping us to organise our trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana. He was very accommodating with my requests and maintained good communication. We spent 5 nights in victoria falls, 2 nights in Hwange, 1 night back in vic falls and 2 nights in Chobe. The overall cost was similar to if I had organised each of the activities myself so it was good value for money, as we had the added reassurance of dealing with 1 company. It was also important to me to use a locally based company so the money is going direct to local Zim people. Marvel also provided us with a driver throughout so when we wanted to stop off at the supermarket or go out for dinner they drove us at no extra cost. Our driver was often Busani who was really helpful. Marvel also helped us out collecting lost luggage from the airport at no extra cost. The guides used for Hwange and Chobe were excellent. The company used for the Chobe camping trip wasn't brilliant but Chobe park itself made up for it, as it's beautiful and we saw so much wildlife including 100s of elephants, hippos, buffalos, crocs, giraffes, antelope, lion and a leopard! Camping was also fun (if you like camping and are used to it - this is not luxury camping). We didn't see so much wildlife in Hwange i think because of the time of year but for us it was interesting to drive out of vic falls and see some of the Zim countryside, plus we did see elephants, antelope, giraffes, zebra, hippos, hyena and a cheetah! There are so many activities in vic falls so it's really about what you want to see. I wanted my kids to see rhino's, as this was unlikely anywhere else and we went with wild horizons for the elephant encounter as they had better reviews than other companies and it was an amazing thing for the kids to do. We also did the hike down the gorge and saw the falls from a different perspective which was amazing. You do need to be of good fitness and not to be scared of heights though! Our kids are 11 and 13 and they loved it, I wouldn't recommend for younger kids. Marvel took us out to a local village which was also really interesting and good for the kids to see how differently people live. Of course the best thing was seeing the falls, which is absolutely spectacular. We didn't do a guided tour as we just wanted to do it at our own pace and take it all in, we had lunch there and went back to our favourite spots again after lunch as it's a once in a lifetime experience! Overall I would recommend Serious fun tours as a budget option, it was good value for money, they were genuinely lovely people and we had an amazing holiday.

Great in-depth tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park
We had a great trip to Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Marvel and Busani were both great guides, taking us to different parts of the trip and to a village on the final day. All of the individual activities (boat cruise, Victoria Falls tour, helicopter ride, game drives) are run by different groups, so there is a hand off between different groups and buses but it was pretty smooth. The hotels were really nice, especially Chobe Bush Lodge in Botswana. We did have a few hotel scheduling issues, but Marvel made adjustments and it worked out well. I also unfortunately got sick at the Lookout Cafe and missed a boat cruise and afternoon game drive, but thankfully recovered and was able to enjoy the trip. I'd recommend the tour and the company.

Great experience
We were at Victoria Falls for 4 nights and all our tours were arranged by this company. It’s good to note that they provided us with free airport transfers because we booked more than three tours with them.
We had an amazing time visiting victoria falls from both Zimbabwe and Zambia side, doing Boma dinner, sunset cruise and Chobe national park. Excellent guides and value for money. The Chobe NP was amazing and we had a luxury lunch on the day in a hotel though they mentioned that we will be given a picnic lunch.
Only issue was their communication was poor and we had to keep messaging and asking the correct pick up times. Luckily, we had time to adjust our plans because we were there for 3 full days.
