We toured Chobe, Victoria Falls and went on a Game Drive in Stanley Livingston - Amazing!
5/5

Tongesai was absolutely fantastic. Every step of the tour he built for us worked like clockwork. Seriously...he picked us up from the airport, handled every small element of the trip and was an utmost professional. I had never booked a trip from overseas, and I was skeptical of putting my trust in someone so far away. Tongesai was the right choice, and I can't tell you how much I would recommend him to any others.

Tongesai accomodated our every need and provided outstanding info for our trips near Victoria Falls.
5/5

Our trip included a river trip and safari into Chobe in Botswana, travel to Vic Falls from Cosane, sunset cruise on the Zambezi, safari to Livingstone game preserve, helicopter trip over Vic Falls, walking tour at Vic Falls, and accommodations at a tent camp in Vic Falls. Tongesai was very professional and instrumental is setting up the entire trip, and his coordination was very well done. He also made us feel much more comfortable by providing information about stores and available services, information about the countries, their cultures, and the protocols. As amateur overseas travelers, this allowed us to embrace much more about the visited areas than just seeing and enjoying the wildlife. We felt like we had not only a trip coordinator, but a personal tour guide and a personal liaison with the people. This meant so much to us, and I believe this is an important element of your business...to provide this kind of care for an area considered very remote for most people visiting from overseas. Thank you for the experience, kindness, and personal care.

Wonderful trip to Hwange National Park
5/5

My wife and I used Cultural Vibes to arrange a 2 night stay at Sable Sands Lodge near Hwange National Park. Cultural Vibes made all of the bookings and drove us to and from our hostel in Victoria Falls.

Tongesai was very friendly and easy to communicate with. He was responsive to questions, and did the transfer safely and on time. Our itinerary was well-designed and everything had been communicated to Sable Sands correctly.

The Safari was tons of fun! Sable Sands was fantastic, and having Tongesai arrange all of the details made everything go very smoothly. Very little work on our end!

Awesome service by the finest staff
5/5

Locally owned company, with earnest, hard-working, honest, responsible people, Tongesai and Alfred are the best. They catered well for all our needs and took the extra mile to make it better for us. Very comfortable vehicle. Though the company may be smaller/newer compared to other companies operating there, they certainly know their stuff and provided great service. Anyone going to Victoria falls and all the surrounding places should definitely go with them. They will take good care of you throughout the trip. Glad we had them while we were in Zimbabwe.

Everything went extremely smoothly! Communication before the trip was fast and detailed, and pickup and transportation were right on time as scheduled. The safari lodge was beautiful! Everyone we interacted with was extremely friendly and professional. We had an amazing trip!

Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours is an excellent and trustworthy local tour company
5/5

I was originally hesitant about Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours based on the relatively low volume of reviews.
However, Cultural Vibes proved to be an excellent, reliable and cost effective local tour company.

Our main contact, Tongesai, was fantastic throughout the entire duration of the trip. Customer service was great and he could not do enough to help. We booked a 3 day Hwange safari through Cultural Vibes and then continued to use Cultural Vibes for all transfers and all other activities within Victoria falls. This made everything extremely easy and safe, with the additional benefit of Cultural Vibes ensuring we only used legitimate and insured companies for activities.

If you are looking for a more personalised trip where you have a guide with in depth knowledge of the local area Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours is likely more suited to you than other larger tour companies operating around Victoria Falls.

We stayed at Sable Sands Safari Lodge for the 3 day safari and this also exceeded expectations. Great food, nice accommodation, amazing views and service.

Friendly guides and beautiful views!
5/5

Thanks a lot to Cultural vibes for unforgettable trip to Zimbabwe! We were at Victoria falls national park and saw the waterfall from helicopter! We had a good guide that told us interesting facts about Africa and its culture.
We went to safari ride to Botswana. We saw wild animals from car and from the water(by ship). It was great!
Next day we were ridden the elephants! They were kind and happy also like their owners! We asked our guide about elephants and their life and he told us everything as it is!
In the end of our journey we went to national African dinner. It was tasty, funny and atmospheric!
We will recommend cultural travel to our friends, because it’s caring and responsible company!
Our guides were friendly and attentive!

Great experience and appreciated thorough communication and care
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.
