Completely trustworthy, professional and dedicated to making your holiday the best it can be
I am totally impressed with this company. My emails were answered within the hour, and when I accidentally paid too much money for the tour I booked, the company immediately notified me and organized the refund. I had booked a 2-night Hwange Game Park game drive tour for my friend and me. Everything that this company organized for us, was fantastic. We knew nothing about Hwange Game Park or about any of the accommodation options available but what Cultural Tours and Travel organized for us was way above what we had expected to get, given what we paid. We were booked into Iganyana Luxury Tented Camp, which was a wonderful experience - a mix of very comfortable living in a bush environment, with great food, beautifully furnished and very comfortable tents, very attentive staff, a wonderful setting and game drives with very few other jeeps around. Elephants came to drink from the swimming pool at night and we could watch animals grazing while sitting outside enjoying the bush atmosphere. A Cultural Tours and Travel representative picked us up from the Hotel in Victoria Falls in a very comfortable and new-looking minivan and drove us to the Camp then back to the Hotel at the end of our stay, providing very interesting information about Zimbabwe and the wildlife along the way. The next time we travel to Zimbabwe, we will definitely book with Cultural Tours and Travel and if we do another game drive tour, we'll request to be accomodated at the Iganyana Luxury Tented Camp again.

Tonke is helpful and accommodating!
Tongesai made our Victoria Falls experience unforgettable. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for the natural world greatly enhanced our tour. I highly recommend him and his company Culture Vibe Travel and tours to anyone visiting Victoria Falls and looking to explore the area’s wildlife. We can’t wait to return and hopefully have him as our guide again on our next adventure!

Impressive - trip of a lifetime - highly recommended
We (my wife and I) have just completed a 10-day tour of Zimbabwe & Botswana, plus a day-trip to Zambia - Tongesai tailored the tour to meet our interests.
It was amazing, the trip of a lifetime.
Highlights included touring Victoria Falls, staying at Elephant Sands, game drives in Hwange, Chobe and Moremi reserves, boat cruises on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, and helicopter flights over Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta.
Very reasonably priced, good value for money. All accommodation and food was included in the price and was all high quality.
Communication with Tongesai (booking / pre-arrival) was good, and very prompt.
Gari, our main guide/driver for the whole tour, was excellent - highly knowledgeable, informative, experienced, professional, reliable, flexible, and friendly.

Tongesai was completely reliable and well-organized, and provided great value for what we paid.
My wife and I took a 9-day tour that included Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, and Okavango Delta. Tongesai helped both to create our itinerary within our budget and was our tour guide. The accommodations and food were excellent, and the experience was well-worth what we paid. He contracted with a few local guides for daytrips that enhanced the experience due to their detailed knowledge of the local areas. We added two helicopter rides at the last moments (Victoria Falls and Okavango Delta) which he arranged for us even though the flight over Okavango Delta was the morning we flew to Johannesburg but he made a special effort to ensure we were on the first helicopter flight of the day. We were totally pleased with the trip and heartily recommend both Cultural Vibes generally and Tongesai specifically for anyone planning a trip similar to ours.

Promptly responsive, reliable, and enjoyable to deal with.
My husband and I just returned from a seven-week trip to southern and east Africa, which included a 9-day tour with Cultural Vibes. We dealt with Tongesai Mutematsaka in planning the trip, and he was our driver and main guide. (He was a safe driver which added to our enjoyment of the trip.) He was completely and promptly responsive to queries and requests beforehand, and arranged lodging and meals that were excellent. Our tour included Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park with boat rides on both the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers, Elephant Sands, Planet Baobab, a special side trip to see meerkats near the Nwetwe Pan, Maun, Moremi National Park, and a canoe ride in, and a helicopter ride over, the Okavango Delta. The trip included numerous game drives and two nature walks. It would be impossible to overstate what a great value this trip was, and how nice Tongesai was to deal with. There were no hitches or glitches, and we learned and saw more than we had even hoped. We also liked that Cultural Vibes helps meet the needs of local grade school students, as primary education is not paid for by the government. We recommend Cultural Vibes to anyone interested in visiting Southern Africa -- an excellent company and beautiful area of the world.

Tongesai is an amazing guide who pays attention to every detail.
Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours and Tongesai Mutematsaka come with my highest recommendation!! Our trip to Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana was everything I could have dreamed of. Tongesai was easy to work with, and always communicated back with me very quickly. I told him what I wanted and he personalized our experience within our budget. He was very flexible when I wanted to make any changes. He took care of every detail so I didn't have to. It was fabulous!! I highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed.

Amazing travel operator
Right from the word go we had a fantastic experience with Tongesai and Cultural Vibes. We booked well in advance and experienced total trust with this agency.
During our 10 day safari we received everything as promised and found Tongesai extremely knowledgeable about the local land and culture as well as intricately connected with the local communities which helped us have a very meaningful tour.
We got much more than what we expected and paid for.
