I had a remarkable time and experience during this adventurous tour together with my friends. Not only was it fun but also educating and i fully enjoyed my time with the incredible services that were offered by the team. Special thanks to Dexter who remained flexible and put so much effort for our tour to be a success! I would definitely recommend all globe trotters to use African Sunsets Travel. Thank you.

I went with Dream Africa Vacations as they gave the best value for money. The driver picked me up at my hotel and took us to the Botswana border, where our driver waited for us to take us to Chobe National Park, I gave a more detailed review on the park elsewhere, but the tour guide and overall experience was great.

I went for a game drive at Chobe National Park on the 17th October 2020. It was a beautiful exerience. I went being driven by a love tour guide by the name MK from Lungu Safaris in Kazungula. I really enjoyed the service she offered, she was soo lovely and tried to explain each and everything to us. We saw different species of birds, kudus, elephants, zebras to name a few and a leopard . We couldn't see lions though.

Tongesai did a outstanding job of planning and setting up our trip. There were no issues or complaints. He went above and beyond on planning and making sure every detail was accounted for. My wife and I had a 15 day trip with him and we were more than happy with it. We traveled from Victoria Falls to 4 camps in Botswana. Each was camp was very clean & Safe. Tongesai did a great job of making sure we saw a variety of animals and locations. The best was part was we got to see a pride of 15 Lions in the wild.

After a gentle take off from the helipad, you will fly out over The Falls where we will provide you with the most incredible viewing and photographic opportunity of this World Heritage Site.  Continuing your flight downstream over the Batoka Gorge, experience the natural beauty of this aweinspiring dramatic feature following the mighty Zambezi as it carves its way between steep cliffs.  As we head back from the Batoka Gorges, taking a last glimpse at The Falls, we fly over the long island on the upper Zambezi towards the National Park, home to a wide variety of wildlife species. This is an amazing opportunity to view game from the air in this beautiful National Park as well as along the banks of the Upper Zambezi River. There is an opportunity of spotting Elephants, Hippo , Crocodiles , Buffalo , Giraffes , Kudu and many more as we head back to the helipad. This is an amazing 3-in-1 flight, an experience of a lifetime.

You must give yourself this experience!!! I cannot express strongly enough that this is a must-do experience when you come to Victoria Falls. Seriously, if you go to Victoria Falls and don't do the Angel or Devil Pool at Livingstone Island then you missed out on something truly special. So you know what to expect, we started out on the Zimbabwe side and travelled to Zambia. If you don't have enough entry's on your Visa then it will cost USD$20.00 for the Zambia Visa and USD$30.00 for another Zimbabwe Entry (when travelling to Victoria Falls Zinbabwe I recommend getting the multi-entry Visa) You drive out to near the top of the falls where you are taken by boat to Livingstone Island. At every stopping point I couldn't believe how close we were to the falls and we kept getting closer!! On the island you are taken by guides out to the main event and words can't describe how amazing this is. Be sure to take some USD bills with you to tip your guides - these guys literally risk their lives to take memorable photo's (on your camera) - so show your appreciation!! (Breakfast was OK - but you're not doing this experience for the food haha!)

Of course this is kind of a tourist trap. Anyhow, we liked the food and the show. It is a nice thing to do, but kind of expensive, especially considering that for the price no drinka are included. You will have a broad variety of food (beef/pork/fish .. ). I don't know if this is typical African but it tasted good. Anyhow- as it is very touristic and too artificial we wouldn't do it again.
