Bucket list checked! - This trip was magical! Seeing Victoria Falls from the ground and from the air was amazing. Chobe was a day filled with one animal siting after another. We had time to just sit and watch the hundreds of elephants we saw. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Africa for the first time.

Highly recommended - I finally went to Bigpole in Zimbabwe!! We will pick you up at the airport on time and guide you to Victoria Falls. Chobe National Park requires a trip all the way to Botswana, so it would be difficult to go there on your own without a guide. I stayed at White House, and it was nice to be able to eat a delicious breakfast every day, and the information desk was friendly, so I stayed with peace of mind.

Victoria Falls and Chobe - I used DK Tours for all my Excursions in Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana while staying in Zimbabwe. The excursions included the below which I did in 4 days. All I had to do is tell Owen what I wanted to do and he arranged the transfers and excursions for me. He was more than willing to also communicate with me through WhatsApp to answer all my questions. He was very interactive. All my excursions went as planned and I fully enjoyed everything. 1. Zipline at falls 2. Morning Tram 3. Devils pool with lunch 4. Four course dinner cruise 5. Dinner at lookout cafe 6. Boma dinner and drum show 7. Victoria falls tour of both the zimbabwe and zambian side with livingstone museum 8. Chobe day tour with safari, river cruise and lunch 9. Helicopter flight over the falls 12-13min The price quoted by DK Tours were also very reasonable, I'm an auditor so really did my homework on pricing. DK Tours were Top 3 in pricing out of 9 Quotes and by far the best reviews out of the three. To get to Zambia from Zimbabwe you need to cross a bridge which I really wanted to walk on for some photo opportunities instead of driving over it. This was however not part of my tour but Owen was so accommodating by taking a walk with me for free to ensure im taken care off, he even carried my bag to enable me to easily take my photos. The Zambian guide arranged by DK tours was also very friendly and professional. He offered to also carry my backpack during the Victoria Falls Tour so I can easily take photos. I had a whole minivan for myself the whole day. The Angels pool was also amazing. We saw some giraffes passing by the Royal Livingstone Hotel and the guide even turned around so we can drive in and see them up close, he definately put in some extra effort to make this a good trip for me. I was escourted on all my excursions with a minivan which was quite comfortable. Webster from DK Tours were my Tour guide on the Zimbabwe side of the Victoria Falls. He was professional, and has a lot of knowledge about the Victoria Falls. Webster was also very helpful by taking many of my photos at the falls, being a single traveler this was of great help. Enoch drove me to some of my excursings, he was very friendly and a real pleasure to meet. I must say I was treated very well by DK Tours, being a single traveller I really had nothing to worry about. Webster the owner even came to greet me on my last evening to say goodbye. Thanks DK Tours

The most amazing vacation of my life! - As always, DK Tours has exceeded my expectations as the go to tourism company for a wholesome safari/vacation experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. This is an account of my most recent visit from May 29 -June 5, 2022. This is a very long review and l hope it’s reassuring if you are having doubts about booking with DK Tours :) Day 1: The trip started with an airport pickup to my accommodations. Day 2: Was in the form of a next day guided tour of the majestic Mosi-oa-Tunya/ Victoria Falls. I was quite happy to have someone take the pictures. Trust me, you will want someone to take them! This was my first time traveling to Victoria Falls in June and the amount of water falling was truly amazing! I remember jokingly comparing the Falls to the Niagara Falls in Canada with another tourist who was visiting from New York. In his words, ‘the Victoria Falls are much better because they are all natural’ and we have the pictures to prove it! This was followed by lunch at the LookOut Cafe, the Lookout burger is to die for and the views, oh my! Day 3: This was a more relaxed day to shake of the jet lag and exploring the city followed by a splendid dinner at Boma and some drinks at 3 Monkeys. Day 4: The day started pretty early with a drive to the Zim/Botswana Kazungula border and there was plenty of wildlife along the way peeping from the darkness. We arrived at the border at day break, just as the border opened, and were picked ip from the Botswana side by Kidi, beginning our early morning Game drive. They say the earliest bird picks the fattest worm, which is probably why we were quite likely to run into a pride of 16 lions! This was my first close encounter with lions and by the end of the day the count had gone up to 20! No other group had seen that many by end of day. We had more close encounters with elephants, giraffes, impala, kudu, buffalo and hippos! My only regret was not seeing zebras that day (but there’s plenty of zebras at the Hwange National Park). We had buffet lunch in a lovely Lodge along the river and had a cruise after lunch. It was amazing to see the wildlife from the water side and elephants dipping in and playing in the water and a gorgeous sunset to end the day. We were then taken back across the body and slept the rest of the way after a very long, amazing day! Day 5: The last day in Victoria Falls was topped by a 15 minute helicopter ride over the falls. As much as l loved the Falls from the ground, the view is even much breathtaking and better from the sky. You can even spot the devils pool which is on the Zambian side. The ride ended with a fly over the national park (l think) where we spotted some giraffes and elephants. At that point, l was satisfied with the entire trip with all expectations met. In summary, this is worth the money and will leave you with stories to tell for a lifetime. If you are not sure, ask DK Tours for recommendations, including the best time to visit. I hope that’s helpful. All the best! Talent.
