A good trip and value for money
The experience is a relaxed, flexible trip through Zambezi National Park. Alex our driver/guide was punctual in picking us up and very friendly. He had good knowledge and explained many different aspects of the fauna as well as the animals. You also get good views of the Zambezi River. All in all for the price it was a good trip. Saw a python, elephants, wart hogs, mongoose,deer, birds etc. Unfortunately no cats but it's all luck of the draw on the day.
Response from the operator: Dear Tim Thank you for your wonderful review of your Safari game drive. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the drive and that our guide Alex is knowledgeable and made your safari exceptional with his pleasant personality Looking forward to having more tours with you in the future Kind regards Dumisile

Wow! What a fantastic way to spend a morning in Victoria Falls.
This three-hour tour was the best experience we had in Victoria Falls, mostly thanks to the guide. Prince T, was a true professional from start to finish. He met us with a great sense of humor and a wealth of information, even making sure we had hot coffee and blankets for the early morning drive. And seriously, the muffins are out of this world! Prince is a walking encyclopedia of the wild. His knowledge of animals, trees, and birds is incredible, and he was happy to answer all of our questions. I recommend doing the morning game drive and then the Sunset Cruise, that way you get to experience the Zambezi Sunset and Sunrise all in one day, it's magical. We'll definitely be back to book the Chobe full-day trip.

The driver and guide Alex...
The driver and guide Alex is a reservoir of local knowledge and is very professional. The whole experience was very worthwhile, even though we didn't see any elephants, we saw plenty of other animals. The tea by the banks of the Zambezi was quite phenomenal.

Plenty of opportunity to see all sorts of animals!
Our driver did an excellent job of finding us plenty of wildlife to view during our morning tour. He was very knowledgeable about all of the questions we asked him. I recommend going in the morning when the animals are more active and the weather is cooler. The open top seating was perfect early in the morning, but make sure to wear sunscreen! We were able to see elephants, giraffe, zebras, water buffalo, jackal, warthog, monkeys, and antelope. There is time for a break by the river for refreshments. You will pay your own entrance fee into the park, I believe 10USD per person. They accept international cards. Overall, would strongly recommend!

Extraordinary Easter Holiday with Khanondo Tours and Safari
It was such an amazing Safari game drive and Zambezi river sunset cruise and boma dance dinner and zip line experience. Our tour guide Prince is such an extraordinary man with lots of experience, lots of patience, lots of laughter, energy and diligent with time keeping.

Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Victoria Falls.
How much does Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 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 Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup?
+
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 Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup?
+
Around 7 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup 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 Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup?

What languages is Safari Game Drive in Zambezi National Park with Hotel Pickup offered in?
+
