Excellent company! - When in Victoria Falls we did a few activities with Wild Horizons tour agency, namely the walking tour of the falls and Chinotimba walking tour. All of our transfers in and out from the airport and the activities themselves were also organised by Wild Horizons - which often included guidance about crossing the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia multiple times a day. Every time we were greeted by a member of staff from Wild Horizons they were smiling, cheery and would always remember your name. Every single member of staff would go above and beyond to tell you about the area you are travelling through and visiting, answering all of our questions and enhancing our experience. The attitude of all staff was delightful and really made us feel special. We would like to give a special shout out and thanks to senior staff Stanley who took us to Chinotimba on Tuesday 27th September who went above and beyond during our private tour. We would definitely book all of our activities and transfers through Wild Horizons next time we visit and recommend them to our friends and family. Thank you!

Enjoyable view of the locals way of life. - I really enjoyed visiting the orphanage. The children were adorable and so affectionate. Wish I could have spent more time with them. The Tour was a little rushed because my driver was also the driver for an airport transfer booked for 70 minutes after my two hour tour started. Unfortunately, my tour had to be shorter.
