Victoria Falls: Review
The service that I got from one your officers, was very good as I was given all the information that I requested.
The stay at the hotel was fabulous based on the service, accommodation and food.
The package was value for money, as I will use Falcon for my future vacations.

Absolutely amazing!
From the time we started making enquiries, Falcon were very impressive. All communications from us were answered speedily, and the info and advice given was perfect. Whilst on our trip, the Falcon tour operators / guides were truly amazing. They were always punctual, profiessional, very friendly and informative and went the extra mile to make our trip an event that we will treasure for years to come. Thank you Falcon - in particular Christel from the booking side, and then Calvin and Brian as tour guides, you guys did a very good job!

Great experience
Your company exceeded all our expectations. Your arrangements were professional and efficient, we never had to wait for a pick up or drop off and your recommendations for activities were exactly what we had hoped for. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to travel to the falls....

Excellent Service, extremely happy and impressed.
I was looking for tours and what to do on trip advisor and I come across a recommendation from a gentleman to use falcon safaris. From the initial contact to my drop off to the airport , everything was perfect. My partner and I was most impressed. Vimbai, Essau and their team ensured that we were well looked aftered and that everything was in order. The guided tour of the falls, the helicopter ride and the sunset cruise was all carried out very professionally, we were dropped fetched and well taken care off. As I myself am in the travel industry I will definitely refer my clients to Falcon safaris. Very professional and polite staff, always willing to go the extra mile. We had a perfect holiday thanks to the team at Falcon Safaris.

ALL good and beyod the normal call on the transfer from the Hotel through the Zambia/Zimbabwe border
The pick up and transfer from Livingstone airport gave us helpful information.
The arrangements for the helicopter ride were good.
Everything at the Hotel went without problem.
The 'unusual' cross border movement between Zambia and Zimbabwe was handled well and especially as Mrs Lobb left an item in the first car. This item was brought to the Victoria Falls Hotel - for which Thank you.

Five Star!
Here is a snippet from my journal. In summary this was a remarkable resort. I'd recommend it in a flash!
On our last morning at Victoria Falls the breakfast calm was shattered when a baboon leaped off the roof on to the veranda dining area and terrorized a man at a table. His fortunate wife had just left to make another pass at the buffet. The animal grasped for food off the mans table but he only succeeded in knocking dishes on to the floor before a waiter shooed him away.
The Zambezi Sun, our hotel, is ideally located, literally at the entrance to the National Park, which includes the falls. It's several acres with a series of two story hotel units. On our last day, right around six four zebra sauntered past our living room. Just up, I grabbed my pants and went out with photo equipment in hand. They were oblivious of my presence. This apparently is not unusual on our first evening a group of velvet monkeys went prancing by our unit. Giraffe and elephant are in the area, but I did not see any during our stay. We did see several gazelle as we arrived at the property that first evening.
We toured the falls our first evening. It was hot and the sun still intense at five. We took the main route across the "knife-edge bridge." The water flow was very disappointing, just a trickle; this was the end of the dry season in October. The path leads to a promontory overlooking the main falls area. The vista is spectacular even without the water flow. The drop-off is hundreds of feet, providing an excellent sphincter test! In the distance is the main bridge over the mighty Zambezi river linking Zambia with Zimbabwe.
On the middle of our three day stay we did a river cruise. The Zambezi is the fourth longest river in Africa we were told. The Nile, the Congo, and the ++. We had wanted to do the "African Queen," a larger vessel than seen in the Bogart movie. But, it was only available for the sunset dinner cruise, which was not of interest to us. How lucky for us as it turns out. The small boat, which would probably hold 12 or more, was large enough to seem safe. There was only one other couple, Ian & Esther--another story, so the boat was very fast and very maneuverable.
We started our adventure heading upriver. Within a quarter we came on a herd of bachelor elephants. There were 16-17 in the all male group. The captain pulled right up to them at the river bank as he told us to not worry, because they do not go into the water. Whereupon one and then three elephants entered the river just to our left. We moved on up the river a nod in a short while came on 5-6 hippos; they were grazing on the bank. As we moved closer they hurried off to one side into the river. From then on it was just eyes, ears and noses! There were many other species, most birds, one croc and a variety of fauna. Toward the end of our two hour jaunt we beached the craft and had a Picnic lunch with fried chicken, curried potatoes, some quiche and fruit for desert. Back on board we went bat out of hell down rapids to the hotel where we were dropped off. A magical day!
