Review about Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours - Zimbabwe (Botswana and Zambia)
On 10.9. until 1.10. In 2023, I went on a trip to Botswana, Zimbabwe and a short visit to Zambia with my clients - friends. I carefully prepared the trip in cooperation with the manager of Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours, Mr. Tongesai Mutematsaka.
After arriving in Gaborone we organized a short tour of the city ourselves and met Tongesai in Maun. Tongesai was our driver and guide practically the whole way. We visited the Okavango River Delta and its surroundings (Moremi Reserve, Mokoro boat cruise, flight over the Okavango Delta. This was followed by a visit to the Makgadikgadi Salt Flats, then the Elephant Sands area and in Botswana Chobe National Park with a cruise on the Chobe River.
Then we crossed to Zimbabwe, which was the main part of our journey. In the Victoria Falls area, we visited the Monde settlement, took a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls, followed by a cruise on the Zambezi River as part of a visit to the national park of the same name. We also walked past Victoria Falls on the Zimbabwean side and had a Boma dinner in the evening (too much of a "tourist thing").
On the Zambian side of the falls we saw white rhinos in Mosi - oa - Tunya National Park, then visited the museum in Livingstone and walked the Zambian side of the falls.
From Victoria Falls, we headed to Hwange National Park, where we had a beautiful program - a safari, and after Hwange, there was also a very interesting program in Matobo National Park (there, among other things, white rhinos (a mother with her little daughter), beautiful rock formations and prehistoric cave drawings.
The next place visited was Khami with very interesting buildings, and then we visited the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, which are among the most important world monuments. This was followed by a visit to the Chinhoya Karst and finally the gallery in Harare.
I would also like to comment on the provision of services: Accommodation in the hotels was at the standard, expected level, only the service at the Great Zimbabwe Hotel was rather lazy. Accommodation in lodges - very good and the best accommodation was in Iganyana tented camp in Hwange National Park, mainly due to the extraordinary professionalism and very friendly attitude of the staff there towards us, the visitors.
I must also highly praise all the local guides we met everywhere, e.g. in Chobe, Hwange and Matobo National Parks.
I want to emphasize that this journey is one of the most interesting that I have made around the world. I believe that my clients - friends were also satisfied with the set. Thanks to the travel agency Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours and Mr. Tongesai Mutematsaka.
I recommend Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours to anyone considering a trip to Zimbabwe.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Omar
Very nice forest scenery, good change with respect to the other parks. however, because of the dense forest, there is a little less wildlife easily visible than in the savannah biomes. still, lots of baboons, birds, elephants etc.

Just Fantastic
We had an amazing time during our safari adventure. Thadei did a fantastic job organizing everything, and even though we faced some challenges with arrival times and airport pick-up, all the issues were resolved promptly and efficiently. We thoroughly enjoyed our five-day journey, exploring each park was a delight.
The accommodations were pleasant, and the food was good throughout. We particularly loved our stay at Kontiki Serengeti Camp for two nights. Overall, it was a great experience that we truly enjoyed.

Punctual, professional and respectful.
I first met and worked with Joseph, the team leader at Allied Car Hire and Transportation in 2011 during our Film Labs where as young professionals we were learning the aspects of Filmmaking.
Looking at him and the company, I am inspired by their growth and level of consistency they have made over the years.
Somehow, for the past one decade, he and the team has maintained high level of professionalism, punctuality, humour and hospitality.
The most recent trips with the company was in October 2023 where we went to Mbale and Pakwach for Film Bootcamps and his services never felt sort even once.
I strongly recommend their services to anyone who would like to book travels across East Africa. Their rates are user friendly and once you use them once, I'm most certain the next time you or your family or your family needs to travel, you will make that dial or drop an email.
Cheers.

The African skies were amazing a contrast to Malawi
I spent 3 nights in the Masa Mara between volunteering in Malawi and Kenya. It was an amazing interlude between the 2 countries and we had 2 excellent guides and drivers. It's possible to see some fantastic game without spending a fortune by staying outside the park boundary. This is not luxury but more than adequate with ample food and some timed internet. The scenery was amazing.

A very good company for African tourists with experience
The communication, service and value for money were very good.
The ideas and skills of the cook were incredible, as she was able to create the most delicious dishes using the simplest of ingredients.
