Awesome host who went out of his way to accommodate delivering and exceeding our expectations
5/5

Marvel answered our call for a traditional Game Park Safari after another tour operator failed us in Botswana with a Hwange National Park Safari.
Initially it started as a day safari, then an overnight and with a further request, it turned into a two night, three day safari staying at the stunning Hwange Safari Lodge.
As we were staying at the Avani Resort Hotel on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls, Marvel arranged the pick up and transfers via the Zambian border Immigration over the bridge, via the Zimbabwean border Immigration, where we had previously crossed over the night before and paid for a double entry (USD45/each) Marvel then met us on the Victoria Falls township side to then drive us south to Hwange.

As promised, Marvel had arranged for an afternoon game drive, a night drive, then an all day game drive, a further night drive and on the final day an early morning drive. These drives were complimented with our own vehicle and guide Edwin, who was a former National Park Ranger turned guide. We cannot express how happy we were with Edwin, he was so knowledgeable and caring towards all the wild life we saw and went out of his way to give us an incredible experience we will never forget. The Lodge was huge and accommodating.
Marvel then picked us up and returned us to the Zimbabwean border and again went out of his way get us through both immigration borders and delivered us to Livingstone Airport in time for us to catch our 14.00 flight to Johannesburg.
Victoria Falls Serious Fun and Travel lived up to its name and the service is second to none, we cannot rate Marvel and his team highly enough and will be recommending them to any of our friends and family.
Thank you so much Marvel and Edwin

Marvel is a professional that takes his work very seriously, he took care of us throughout our time in Zim. Because of him I would definitely go back to Zimbabwe for a full holiday stay.

I would use them again
5/5

Marvel and his team were great. They were responsive, well coordinated and professional. He was able to give us some history and additional information throughout our trip. There was a pickup hiccup on our last day but this was of no fault to Marvel and his team. They were quickly able to get us to our destination despite the issue. I would recommend Victoria Falls Serious Fun Tours and Travel and would use them again.

Great in-depth tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park
4/5

We had a great trip to Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park. Marvel and Busani were both great guides, taking us to different parts of the trip and to a village on the final day. All of the individual activities (boat cruise, Victoria Falls tour, helicopter ride, game drives) are run by different groups, so there is a hand off between different groups and buses but it was pretty smooth. The hotels were really nice, especially Chobe Bush Lodge in Botswana. We did have a few hotel scheduling issues, but Marvel made adjustments and it worked out well. I also unfortunately got sick at the Lookout Cafe and missed a boat cruise and afternoon game drive, but thankfully recovered and was able to enjoy the trip. I'd recommend the tour and the company.

Relaxed, informal fun safari trip
5/5

We had a really enjoyable 3 night safari in Chobe with one day in Savuti. Marvel was a great communicator and made sure the trip ran smoothly. “Best View Brian” our guide seemed to literally fine all the best spots to see the wildlife and we saw so many animals. The river cruise was excellent- relaxed and chilled and again saw a lot of elephants, buffalo, hippos etc. Lunch was amazing at a lovely hotel followed by an afternoon safari in Chobe where we saw lions. We went on to stay in a camp for 3 nights. Very basic but exactly what we wanted. No frills and true Africa. Chef Pete produced some delicious meals
on the outside fire. The trip to Savuti is a long, rough ride but worth it to see a different type of habitat. The 3 of us basically had a private safari at a very reasonable price. Well done.
