What people love about Johannesburg to Victoria Falls Tours
- Journeys: Explore Kruger & Victoria Falls National Geographic Journeys
It was wonderful trip, with professional guides and they choos very nice places, national people were friendly and cheerful.
- Wild Dogs and Victoria Falls
Unfortunately I only joined for 9 days (Jo'burg to Vic Falls) and I had an amazing time. I would've loved to stay for longer. The group was dynamic, fun, and nice. The tour guide Kanyo and our driver Mugu were very good, doing their work and mixing with the group, keeping track of everything, being there for us when necessary. I was sad to leave!
- Botswana and Falls Overland: Wildlife Walks & Safari Drives
I was very pleased with the trip. The guide and driver were fantastic. Excellent wildlife viewing and touring!
