2.Victoria Falls Rural Tour: Village Life Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · from $50

Leave Victoria Falls town for a small rural village about 25 kilometers away. With a professional guide, possibly including Lewis from Cuckoo Safaris, you will meet a local family, learn about daily routines, and take part in simple village tasks. The three-hour visit includes hotel pickup, transport, a small group of up to six, and bottled water.

“This was an amazing experience! We loved this little village and the family we got to meet. It was humbling to see how little they have especially comparing to all we have. There were smiles and laughter and it was very educational. If you have money, candy, books etc to leave behind. It is very appreciated.”

3.Horse Riding Community Village Tour Experience

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · from $135Top rated

Set out from Wild Bhiza Stables in Chisuma, about 25 km east of Victoria Falls, for a 1 to 1.5 hour ride through communal lands and beside Batoka Gorge. An English-speaking guide leads the walk-and-trot outing, with pickup, horse gear, water, and soda included. Lisa and Amie may guide the ride.

“What a lovely way to spend the morning. A really nice way to see the local way of living in the villages. Lisa and Amie were super friendly and answers all our questions about life in Zimbabwe. The horse were so well treated and we all felt safe (me, my wife and son 8years old). I would highly recommend this as an activity.”

Victoria Falls: Cultural Tour with High Tea

4.Cultural Tour with High Tea

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 12 reviews · 8 hours · from $150

Spend eight hours exploring Victoria Falls with an English-speaking guide, then enjoy high tea at the historic Victoria Falls Hotel. You’ll walk the rainforest, see the bridge and Big Tree, stop above the Zambezi River at Lookout Café, and visit local markets. Small groups, hotel pickup, transport, and water are included.

“It was an incredible experience and they guides made me feel safe and know how to navigate the waters. It would be dangerous to do on your own. They hold your feet so you look out over the edge and use your phone to get photos and videos. The breakfast after was delicious. This is a MUST do if you are in Victoria Falls!”
