An epic game drive adventure!
What a perfect game drive! Everything about this tour was brilliant. Our guide, Gerald, arrived on-time and briefed us on the awesome day ahead. Gerald was passionate, capable, professional and experienced despite being a young guy. Great to see responsible young people excelling at their work! The vehicle was also amazing! Very comfortable seats (Don't underestimate how important this after a full day of "African Massage"), clean, warm ponchos for to block the brisk, early morning wind, and great space in the seating areas. As for the animals, obviously, you're at the mercy of mother nature. We felt extremely lucky to see a wide variety of animals; but that's also partly due to Gerald's good work. He made a point to ask other guides that we came across what had been sighted and where and, as a result, we saw so many amazing animals: Painted Dogs, Warthog, Giraffe, Zebra, Baboon, Impala, Kudu, Hippo, Crocodile, so many Elephants, more birdlife than I can recall and even a Lioness on the prowl! This whole day was simply fantastic! That isn't to mention the delicious cooked lunch served while watching elephants play in the mud. Does it get any better? We were all seriously impressed with Gerald and Rukoko Tours. In addition to their great knowledge about the wildlife, they also shared lots of interesting information about plantlife and the habitats in which these beautiful animals live. While I strongly recommend you don't just book one drive... if you're going to just book one... here it is! Enjoy.
Response from the operator: Dear Sam, Thank you so much for the review, we are glad you had a wonderful Safari experience with us, hoping to host you again next time.

A wonderful day- Thanks Rukoko
This day trip was so much better than expected. Gerald, my guide, driver, chef and teacher was simply superb. We saw many animals I had not expected to see including jackals, mongeese as well as many of the classics. Only lions eluded us today. This park feels like a true game of find the animals, perhaps less abundant than the likes of Chobe but more bird life and very varied landscapes. The lunch and home made muffins (thanks Charity) were fabulous. The most memorable moments were a bull elephant taking a real dislike to our vehicle and some adept reverse driving was required!
Response from the operator: Dear Bryn, We appreciate your review, we are glad you enjoyed your Safari experience with Rukoko Safaris. Thank you for the feedback.

Zambezi
Nice and enjoyable safari, including small breakfast picnic at the riverside and lunch in one of the camping areas (near waterhole). Pick up from the hotel was on time which I appreciate a lot. Guide AB was professional and friendly. Even though we did not spot all the animals expexted because of high grass I was still amazed of the landscape. To see elephants sleeping is something particular.
Response from the operator: Dear Malle P, Thank you very much for your review. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. Thank you.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Victoria Falls usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Victoria Falls is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Victoria Falls, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Victoria Falls can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Victoria Falls and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Victoria Falls within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Victoria Falls?
+
On Outty we rank every Victoria Falls experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Tour of the Falls (Zimbabwe side), Zambezi River Class IV-V White-Water Rafting from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe & Zambia: Guided Tour of the Falls from Both Sides. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Victoria Falls?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Victoria Falls?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch?
+
Included: Lunch. Not included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 12 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Full-Day Zimbabwe Zambezi National Park Safari & Lunch wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
