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.

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!

Had an absolutely amazing time at the Snake Park today and I can thouroughly recommend having a tour from Divine, one the the experts who is incredibly knowledgeable about all of the snakes they house at the park. We had the chance to hold some non venomous docile snakes and also two adorable chameleons (one being called Dr. Dre). It is suitable for all ages and learning about the snakes and common misconceptions was eye opening! A must see on a visit to Victoria Falls!

Matobo National Park

Reviewed By desmondp2018 - Snohomish, United States

Entrance to the park very steep.We still remember driving through the park on a very hot day. Saw some game-no rhino.though. Entrance fee to climb the kopje to Rhode ‘s grave rather steep. Ah, well , World’s View worth it. It’s a magical place up there. Ignore the monuments, lie on your back, gaze at the cloudless cobalt sky and listen to the song of the wind as it caresses the balancing rocks. Very peaceful. Watch the sun go down .

Amazingly well maintained despite scarce resources. Really interesting history of the railways in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe including Cecil Rhodes personal carriage. Kids would love this place as you get to climb onto the trains (@ your own risk).

Mtarazi Falls

Reviewed By Fortune_Madhuku - Harare Province, Zimbabwe

Spectacular and awesome views of the Mtarazi falls. The road to the falls is not that good, about 19km from the tarred road along a bumpy dusty road, but the falls are worth a visit. Although charges for skyline and skywalk are a bit high, it's worth the sacrifice. Like most attraction sites in Nyanga, you need to bring your picnic basket as there are no places selling food anywhere near. The place is so nice that you need to dedicate the whole afternoon. One thing to note is that the Far and Wide office closes at 4pm so it is a good idea to start with skyline and skywalk, then finish with the walk to the view site for the falls - there you can watch the falls until late, as long as there is daylight. However, as the road to the falls is not the best you can drive along, it is wise to budget time so that you drive back to the tarred road while there is still daylight.
