Reviews
Took care of everything!
Gertrude from Falcon Safaris was always very prompt in responding to all my dad’s emails. Since we were doing this trip on our own (without a travel agent), he had lots of questions. Gertrude always took the time to explain everything thoroughly and make great suggestions, all with a fair price. She did everything with a great attitude.
We used Falcon Safaris for our transfer from the airport to our hotel. Even though clearing customs took quite a while, they were waiting for us as we exited customs. We also wanted to get some Zimbabwe money for my brother’s foreign currency collection. We gave the shuttle representative some U.S. money, and she promptly returned to our hotel with billions of Zimbabwe dollars for his collection.
Our first tour was a Victoria Falls Bridge tour through an outside vendor. Falcon picked us up promptly at the hotel, and got us to our tour. Afterwards, they dropped us off at Victoria Falls to continue our touring.
Then we met Brian from Falcon Safaris, who personally gave us a guided walking tour of the falls. The falls were spectacular! We saw lots of rainbows from all the mist. We were pretty soaked at the conclusion of our falls walk, so Brian took us back to our hotel so we could change into some dry clothes.
We were then off to a Zambezi Sunset River Cruise on Falcon’s boat. Since it was winter, we were the only ones on the tour that day. Brian also escorted us on the cruise. The cruise was great! We saw several animals and a gorgeous sunset.
After the Sunset River Cruise, we were off to dinner at Boma. Brian drove us there, got us settled in, and asked us what time we wanted to leave. He also gave us a contact number in case we wanted to leave early. At our designated departure time, Brian was right there to pick us up and return us to our hotel. It was a great day arranged with Falcon Safaris and a great day with Brian!
The following day, we needed an early morning transfer to Kasane airport in Botswana. Brian was there to pick us up in the morning and transfer us to the border. At the border, he walked us through immigration and handed us off to Falcon’s Botswana representative. We transferred our luggage from the vehicles and were off to the airport to meet our next adventure guide. The drive from the border to the airport went smoothly and without any instances. We even stopped to view animals a few times along the way.
If you are ever spending time in the Victoria Falls area, I strongly suggest you use Falcon Safaris for all your adventure needs. We booked our hotel on our own, but next time we would just let Falcon handle it all.

Exquisite experience
Falcon Safaris provided an absolutely exquisite experience from communication to service throughout the safari itself. The Mapula lodge was beautifully designed and set up for an intimate safari adventure. The lodge manager, kitchen staff, and guides were all incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. From the rooms to the views to the food to the game drives and boat trips, everything was top notch.

good experience
We visited Victoria Falls and used Falcon Safaris for our transfers to and from Hwange. The transfers were comfortable, with safe drivers and lots of space in the minivans. The Victoria Falls hotel was marvellous, a bit like stepping into the 1940s with the colonial atmosphere, but lovely staff and grounds. The food at the terrace restaurant was disappointing although breakfast at the Jungle Junction was superb.
It was a fantastic service offered.
No communication was made to Rainbow Hotel in advance

Superb service in every way.
Falcon Safaris are highly commendable. The drivers always turned up on time and the guides were very knowledgeable. The company exceeded our expectations and we were made to feel very special. The safaris were amazing, as we saw far more animals than we expected to. The tour of the falls was spectacular and our guide did not rush us, we always had plenty of time for photographs. All in all a magnificent experience.

Excellent recommendations and prompt response to questions
We all have some concerns booking and paying for travel in a remote country on the internet. Falcon was excellent. The transfers in Livingstone and to Chobe were right on time and well co-ordinated across the river. The accomodations recommended were excellent. I hope to be able to use Falcon again for a vacation in the future.

Excellent, friendly, professional services and competent staff.
Falcon Safaris, Victoria Falls, Vimbai and Hamilton - thanks for professional, friendly and efficient service. I was impressed with the service, patience and assistance I received from Falcon Safaris, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. I was doing an extremely "last minute" booking enquiry for various activities available in Victoria Falls. I received prompt and efficient assistance. Falcon Safaris organised all my activities as well as any necessary transfers to and from these activities. The Transfer companies were also extremely efficient, with helpful and friendly staff, who were prompt, as well as knowledgeable and informative. We requested dvd's and cd's for the activities that we did as we do not have a decent camera, and the quality of these dvd's is fantastic - I would recommend any person doing Victoria Falls activities utilize these services for wonderful holiday memories.
