We went on a Shearwater guided tour. Excellent service received throughout our three day stay in Victoria falls from Shearwater Tours. The view of the falls on this tour is amazing, the guide was extremely knowledgeable, walked at a pace suitable to all members of the group. Easy walk, suitable for all ages, good level path, remember to take a raincoat during the rainy season. One of our most memorable trips

Great afternoon getting close to and learning about certain wild animals followed by delicious afternoon tea! Hearing about how the animals have been rescued & learning about their habitats etc was fascinating. Seeing the baby elephants &!feeding the giraffes were highlights as was seeing the pangolin run across the lawn! Tea in the conservatory was a nice final treat.

I volunteered at Imire for 2 weeks, and the experience was so good that it’s honestly beyond any description I make here. I feel like every moment here was special as it had its own lesson to be learned and experience to be lived. I had initially volunteered for the wildlife, but my greatest eye opening experiences came from the people and the surrounding communities involved with Imire. And here, as a volunteer, you can also get involved in every area, which is a privilege that not many people have the opportunity to experience. I’m now more aware of the tremendous effort that goes into running a successful conservation project, and how without every aspect working together a project like this could easily become unsustainable. And by personally handling Elephant and Rhino, I also became much more conscious about the impact that this project has on the responsible conservation of these vulnerable species… though big in size, they’re so sensitive and deserving of the utmost respect and admiration. Volunteering at Imire is a big responsibility, but it’s fulfilling and it’s a heck of a lot of fun. Days are long and filled with activities like handling and walking with elephants, tracking and feeding rhinos with anti-poaching teams, teaching kids how to read and express creativity, helping the adorable ladies with their community projects, meeting locals, horseback riding with the loveliest people, game drives, game counts, field assessments, building rafts, planting trees, cleaning lion enclosures, chasing incredible sunsets, and plenty more with people who are genuinely excited to have you there, and look out for you. In fact, the entire team and house staff will move mountains to make your stay an incredible and memorable one from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart Harare airport. This is one piece of paradise I’ll be returning to for sure, and highly recommend to anyone that’s into responsible conservation. As I’m writing, I can’t help but recall good memories and songs sung with a lit soul and a smile on my face. Imire: Rhino & Wildlife Conservation, this is all on you! :D Thank you! “We’re happy to be together”

Great value for money! I loved it, if you love nature and wild animals and exclusivity then my friend make the booking. It’s about 30 minutes from Harare but the road is great, no potholes or dirt road. Did I mention that I loved it?

When we participated in the Wild Elephant encounter it was at the beginning of our trip so we had no idea what to expect. From the moment we arrived we were treated as royalty with welcome drinks and a tour of the sanctuary. We climbed into the Jeep, started driving out to the to find the elephants and we were treated to a mini game drive as we passed birds and a beautiful Kudu just off the road. Having the opportunity to meet, touch, wall with and feed the elephants was by far a highlight of our trip. The guide, handlers and videographer were very professional. We have shared our video with several family and friends and they are always amazed. Make sure you go here when you are in Victoria Falls. It was awesome!

There is no need to try to convince travelers about this attraction. It's simply glorious! We were there in March, when the water was fully flowing- I understand half of it dries up by summertime. But at any season, it's a spectacle. Warning: because the water falls into a relatively narrow gorge, there's tremendous mist, and you WILL get wet! Bring along a poncho (or at least an umbrella) to fully enjoy the power and beauty of this amazing wonder of the world!
