Breathtaking views - Despite you not needing a tour guide to visit both these places, i would highly recommend using this Tour Operator as you will be crossing 2 boarder which can be hectic if you're not familiar with the process. Very professional and friendly guides who give you ample time and allow you to enjoy the falls while taking awesome pics for you. It's imperative to check if you require visas to enter both Zambia and Zim. Entry fees aren't included as per add but the Centre does take cards.

Must do! Just incredible from all angles - Incredible company and service!! I researched tour companies and things to do and this unique tour option appeared. From the beginning they were quick to respond to all my questions and I ended up booking 3 tours with them and this was the first and our introduction to Zimbabwe. We were picked up at our lodge by Shelton on time and taken to the Zambia border which is a short 10 minute drive, he explained what was needed and the whole process was quick and easy just make sure you get a multiple entry visa when you arrive!! Once out of immigration Shelton handed us off to Martha our Zambian guide with two bottles of water (so thoughtful) and off we drove to the entrance of Victoria Falls Zambia. It’s $20 per person to enter on the Zambia side. Martha has so much knowledge, she took us to every stop where she talked about the falls and we took a million photos and after we were able to walk back across the bridge to Zimbabwe and watch the bungee jumpers. Shelton met us again at immigration, there was a short line but it moved quickly. Once at the entrance of Victoria Falls Zimbabwe we had to pay $50 per person entry. Shelton was just as great and so knowledgeable. My husband is a big fan of birds and Africa does not disappoint and Shelton knew so many different bird species! The falls are much more intense on the Zimbabwe side but when it’s 5,600 ft long we felt it was incredible to see it from all sides! Thank you Cuckoo Safaris for an amazing start to our stay in Victoria Falls. Worth every penny!

Private Victoria Falls tour - Great tour and very well explained on both sides. We had Martha and John explaining the Zambia/livingstone side. Very detailed, knew the history, knew the facts and were great. For Zimbabwe we had Simon, what a legend. Great character, easily contactable, knew all the details and made the tour very enjoyable.

awesome sight to see - Seeing the falls from both sides is a must, they are totally different. You will see some wildlife and crossing the boarder is easy.

Nice Tour - Our family of three (mom, young adult son, grandmother) enjoyed this tour with Prudence (Zimbabwe side) & Marta (Zambia side). No, you do not really need a guide to do both or either sides of the falls, but it was really nice to be guided, go through customs, be driven across the bridge to the border, and taken shopping with them as well as be provided with raincoats. Note that they do give you a bottle of water at the beginning of the tour so you do not have to bring your refillable one. We got the double entry visa to Zimbabwe since that was the side we were staying on, but keep your receipt just in case! We were also lucky enough to have a private tour so that was definitely a bonus! We got to spend as much time as we wanted in each place. Another note, there is no lunch break so you may want to bring or buy a small snack. We had our driver at the end to take us to a restaurant instead of our hotel, which was nice. Thank you for a nice tour, ladies.

Great experience/ Be aware of immigration cost - Martha was very knowledgeable and friendly about the falls on the Zambia side . I can’t remember the driver’s name. He was wonderful as well. Due to the unexpected cost of immigration each time you cross the boarder, we decided not to see the falls on the Zimbabwe side. $30 USD/ person from Zambia to Zimbabwe each time you cross. It is more affordable to get multiple entry. Separate admission entry fees to enter the falls. Zimbabwe cost $50 USD/person.

Good tour, would take again - Very friendly, helpful, patient, and informative guides! Also talked openly about the countries and conditions. Only concern would be they need to update their vehicles and didn’t get a break for lunch.

Great Tour - Our ride arrived on time for pick and the vehicle was very clean. Both the guides on the Zimbabwe and Zambia side were friendly and courteous. We started on the Zambian side, which was breathtakingly beautiful. Our Zambian guide Martha was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We unfortunately got exhausted from the Zambian tour and cancelled the Zimbabwean tour. This is by no means a reflection of the tour - we’re just tired and out of shape for a full day of walking in the sun. 😊
