Memorable Experience. - Our hotel arranged this Game Drive for us, we chose the early morning option and it was a memorable experience, the driver cum guide took us around and spotting free moving wildlife, we could see gigantic elephant, Giraffe, wild Buffalo, Kudu, Impala and beautiful birds, also saw Baobab Tree, a national monument, the driver stopped our Safari Vehicle on the banks of Zambezi River and we had snacks and coffee. It was awesome and cherishable.

Beautiful Experience! - The tour was well planned and an amazing experience! Due to the weather a few of the animals were not spotted but the herd of elephants we tracked were absolutely breathtaking. The location of the park and the humor of the operator was well worth the trip!

Loved it - Amazing. They picked me up on time, the guide was wonderful and provided a lot of information about the animals. I saw a ton of thing but LOVED all of the elephants and zebra. So close to town, so don’t miss it. Easy and worth every penny.

Zambezi NP Game Drive - 100% recommendation! - I was the only participant on the tour that day, so I had Sam - the tour guide - all to myself. I thought it was great that the tour wasn't cancelled straight away (thank you for that!). The tour itself was very informative - Sam had an answer to every question I had about the NP and the animals there. On the tour I saw 2 of the Big4 that there are in the NP (elephants and buffalo) as well as numerous other animals (giraffes, birds, impalas, baboons, warthogs,...). At the end of the tour there was a small, delicious picnic (chicken skewers, avocado, carrot and cucumber sticks) on the Zambezi River with the setting sun behind us. Unbeatable!

Lose the truck and experience the wilderness on a walking safari - The last day of our 20 day trip through Namibia nd Botswana and several driving game drives we booked a half day walking safari with Sam and Martin.
A walking safari is a different experience, more edgy with a heightened sense of awareness of what is around you. The animals behave differently and are more easily spooked. We were just a couple and Sam took the lead with Martin in the rear. The walk takes around 2-21/2 hours and ended with a traditional sundowner back at the truck.
While there is never a guarantee of what you will see within 15 minutes we disturbed a lioness with 3 cubs and she had our attention with her blood curdling roars! Sam was very much in control and helped us back away carefully.
The rest of the trip was awesome learning about the flora and all the natural signs of life and death from footprints, poop and bones. Lots of birdlife, Kudus and Water Buck.
We couldn't recommend this activity more! Lose the truck and feel the signs of life and death outdoors with Sam and Rukoko Safaris.

Wonderful Zambezi National Park game drive with Rukoko Safaris - Corbin guided us on an afternoon game drive in the Zambezi National Park, joined by Lisa. Corbin shared lots of general information about the park, plus had a keen eye for finding game throughout the drive. We had close-in encounters with giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, cape buffalo, tons of monkeys and baboons, antelope, elephants, warthogs, and hippos. They put out a delightful spread of drinks and savory snacks at a beautiful spot along the bank of the Zambezi River, followed by a beautiful sunset. The safari vehicle was comfortable and provided good views from elevated seats. Our trip lasted about 3 hours, essentially until dark set in. We highly recommend this trip.

Must do game drive with Rukoko Safaris - We managed to book a last minute afternoon game drive with Rukoko Safaris. Sam was excellent allowing us to complete the booking and made payment easy. Our guide was Martin, who is very knowledgeable and skilled at tracking animals. After asking which animals we wanted to see, he did his best to track those( and found them!). He also gave us interesting facts and answered our questions on the drive. The ride was comfortable and we stopped for drinks and snacks overlooking the Zambezi River. This is a recommended Game drive in Vic Falls

Best safari ever. For real. - Sam is incredibly knowledgeable with 23 years experience of leading safaris. He gave us a combination of walking and driving safari tours covering the landscape, sights, sounds, smells, mammals, plants, birds, insects, geology, weather, interactions between different species, and anything we could think of to ask. He's also a great conversationalist and a genuinely lovely person.
As if that wasn't enough... the vehicle is shiny new and a joy to travel in, there was a great range of drinks and food with both healthy and decadent options, Martin and Lisa are also great. Every detail was considered and we were very well taken care of.
This whole company is of the highest quality of professionalism and knowledge. We went on 6 different game drive safaris on our trip to Zimbabwe with 3 different operators, and this was by far and away the best. Recommended to us by our safari veteran friends who also agree this is a top notch experience.
I am so glad I went with Rukoko. I can't recommend this company highly enough!
