    Travel company was very helpful but guides knew nothing

    This trip was coordinated through Amulonga Travel. They are wonderful. However the guides they sent did not know anything at all about the park or the animals - or even how to spot them. How many elephants are here? (No response and no elephant siting.) Why aren’t there many termite mounds? (It’s different here.) Aren’t those some kind of large cat prints in the sand? (Prints? What?) Driver was taking personal calls (with phone ringing out loud.) But worst of all was the vehicle we were in. We were picked up and driven almost 7 km on the open road in an elevated seat with no seatbelts. Extremely dangerous!! The driver went slowly but it was scary as can be. The game park itself is nothing like Kruger or the other private reserve we visited in SA. We did see a very large herd of Cape buffalo and large troupe of baboon.

    Response from the operator: We really appreciate your feedback, Amulonga Travel and Tours takes all feedback as constructive feedback which helps us grow by letting us know the expectations of our guests. We are sorry the experience did not go as anticipated, we promise that on your next visit you shall see an improvement.

    Very good experience, enough animals, BUT...very bad roads

    Very good vehicle, experienced driver-guide plus extra lady guide, all went quite nicely. We saw lions, which was our prime wish, but very few of the rest of animals. I guess May, in the end, is not the best month to visit the park. BUT... the roads couldn't be worse... for all, drivers, visitors and poor vehicles.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Petros_H for the feedback.We really enjoyed the time that we had with you, hopefully on your next visit you will get to see more animals.

    Adventure at it's best

    Being surrounded by a herd of buffalo was the highlight of the activity, afraid yet excited. There is no other like this Game Drive. I will certainly do it again!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the feedback ElPacificador, we wish to host you again on your next visit

    A real adventure

    I was hungry for adventure and you guys presented it. Being in the middle of a herd of buffalo in the early morning Game Drive made my day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you EpieShan for the review, we thrive to keep our guests satisfied.

    Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.

    How much does Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park?

    +

    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 Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park?

    +

    Around 2 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park 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 Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park?

    +

    Included: Bottled water. Not included: Park Fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 24 listed pickup locations in and around Victoria Falls. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Game Drives in the Zambezi National Park wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
