Extremely Helpful and Knowledgeable
5/5

My husband and I went to Zimbabwe (Vic Falls) as part of our honeymoon to explore and enjoy the wonderful scenery and Tongesai (our guide) was absolutely amazing! Initially, we booked the Boma Dinner and day trip to Botswana - Chobe with Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours, but then we also added on a day trip to Vic Falls as well. Our guide, Tongesai was so helpful and knowledgeable about the falls, the history, the animals, and so much more that it made our experience great! On our way to the falls, he also helped us book Ziplining and the Flying Fox, and guided us the whole way. When we wanted space for lunch, we gave us as much time as we wanted. He was very punctual as well, which was a huge plus too. Because of that, we also scheduled our airport transfer back with him. If you are looking for someone to take you around the town, transport you to the airport, and keep you informed, definitely book here and request Tongesai. He went above and beyond with helping us out and we are so grateful to have had such a wonderful guide.

Tongesai Mutematsaka is prompt, detail oriented, knowledgeable and amazing at designing a great tour
5/5

Mr. Tongesai Mutematsaka of Cultural Vibes & Tours designed an amazing Botswana and Zimbabwe safari vacation for us at very short notice and with very little input. He picked us up personally at Victoria Falls. We were well taken care of and had the best time of our life starting from our timely pickup from Harare Airport. He took care of all reservations, transportation, lodging, boarding, and entertainment. His choice of lodges and cultural events was great. Our trip included stay at Harare, Hwange National park, Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, Okavango Delta and the Kalahari. The private lodges in the Delta, Kalahari and Hwange were amazing. We saw 100's of elephants, numerous Lion prides, Antelopes, Giraffes, Hippos, Buffaloes and birds all in the wild. The tour price quoted was reasonable given the private and exclusive nature of the trip. I would recommend Mr. Tongesai as a tour consultant to anybody planning to visit Zimbabwe and Botswana. Thank you Mr Tongesai for making this memorable trip happen for us!

Amazing Victoria Falls tour and Safari Experience at Hwange National Park
5/5

We enjoyed our 4 day excursion to Victoria Falls and Safari at Hwange National Park. Our Cultural Vibes' tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. We appreciated the special effort to meet our needs such as vegetarian meals and customizing the tour package. The package included transportation to and from the airport, transportation to and from Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park, lodging, meals, and private guided tour of Victoria Falls and Safari drives. We plan to reserve another trip with Cultural Vibes and would recommend them to other tourists looking for excellent service and breathtaking experiences.

Tongesai is very professional and gives excellent service
5/5

Tongesai made a trip easy and fun. He went over and beyond what we expected. Always on time for all our activities and even created time for additional activities that we had pop up. You will get more than your value for money with Tongesai. We really had a great and relaxed time in Victoria falls because he took care of us. Thank you uncle Tongesai for your awesome service.

Personal and authentic day out with Tongesai
5/5

We did a day trip with Tongesai through the Chobe National Park with transfers either side of the trip to Victoria Falls. Tongesai was reliable and on time throughout the day. We were picked up at our hotel and he accompanied us for the whole day. We firstly did a boat cruise on the Chobe River with our Botswana guide, John. He was so knowledgable and really showed us some of the best bits of the park. Our lunch stop at the lodge was great and then we went on to do our game drive. We were a group of 4 adults and had our own game vehicle. I don't know if that is standard or if that is just because we were visiting as they enter their low season, but either way the whole day felt very personal and intimate. Not like a tour where you're ferried around in huge groups. It was perfect for us and I will be recommending tours with Tongesai to all those who visit Zimbabwe or the surrounding attractions.

Choebe day trip
5/5

I would highly recommend booking the Botswana Choebe day trip with Tongesai. He responded almost immediately to all email correspondence, online booking and payment was very simple. Tongesai collected us at our Vic falls accommodation as planned and drove the 4 of us privately in his vehicle to the Botswana border , border formalities were quick and simple. We did a 3 hr boat safari followed by lunch then the 3 hr game drive all within the Choebe Nat park. Game viewing was incredible and I have done many African Safaris. If you are looking for a more personal experience to the normal large tour groups then look no further than Tongesai and Cultural Vibes tours.

Reliable, professional, knowledgeable and do everything to make your trip a memorable experience
5/5

Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours has proved to be excellent yet again as this is now the third time, we have used them and a much-needed break after almost 3 years with the Covid pandemic. Tongesai is extremely reliable, professional, knowledgeable and does everything to make your trip a memorable experience. Compared to local larger companies, Tongesai’s individual package rates are more reasonable and come with a customized touch. We felt that our holiday with Tongesai was much better and suited us more so than if we had booked through a larger company. His individual tailoring, personal involvement and attention to detail pays off in the smooth running of your trip.
Our visits to the Victoria Falls, both sides from Zimbabwe and Zambia were magnificent and never cease to amaze us. On this trip Tongesai arranged for a private sunset cruise on the Zambezi just for our family of four instead of on the larger vessels, which was a very pleasant alternative. The boat trip in Chobe is magical and a must if you venture into Botswana. Wildlife was in abundance, including lion, elephant, wildebeest, buffalo, puku, kudu, bushbuck, waterbuck, impala, gemsbok, steenbok, sable and roan antelope, etc. We even saw a relative of Cecil, the famous black-maned lion, ‘once a true king of Hwange National Park’.
I have no hesitation in recommending the company for arranging tours in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana - we will definitely be seeing him again. He is currently setting up arrangements with colleagues in Kruger National Park to venture into South Africa and I wish him every success with that.
