2.Victoria Falls Gorge Hike & Farm to Table Village Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 15 reviews · 5 hours · from $120Top rated

Hike Batoka Gorge near Victoria Falls, enjoy Zambezi views, then share an organic farm-to-table meal in a Zimbabwean village.

“Great hike. Ja, my guide, gave me multiple options and I chose the hardest one, which takes you down the gorge, then along the river for c800m then back up, followed by lunch. Beautiful scenery and I loved seeing more traditional villages and homesteads on the way. The lunch is at the provider’s own guest farm, which is beautifully maintained, and the food was made of traditional and homegrown ingredients straight from the garden. It was delicious. My only ‘negative’ is that the hike was fairly short - my guide told me about 2km in total - although the length of the truly difficult uphill bit was just right. Still,…”

“de lunch met de vriendelijke mensen was erg gezellig en lekker.Verder zijn de 7 uur veel te lang en te heet. tis beter om de tour van 16 tot 19. te doen. de dorpswandeling begon om 15.00, was nog erg heet. En om 17.00 zijn we naar de Zambezi gelopen, waar een blauwe kano lag. Bleek lek te zijn. Toch even geprobeerd, decrivier op, nax5 min weer terug aan de wal, zat inmiddels in het water, we moesten deze kano zelf in balans houden. Veel te gevaarlijk met alle hippo's en krokodillen op het breedst vd Zambezi met deze kleine wankele lekke houten kano. Een uur kletsen met de dorpsbewoners…”

9.Cultural And Village Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 4 reviews · 2 hours · from $40

Mukuni Village cultural tour review covering Leya traditions, village visits, value, timing, accessibility, and what to expect near Victoria Falls.

“We had a really good and interesting tour for seeing the village. However, when I see the description. It looks like we missed something. We didn't visit any school or saw anybody making a meal. We were 1 hour in the village, the drive took 15 minutes each way, and we didn't get any drinks or snack. So if this is the average tour, and you want to see all the details as in the description, then you probably have to choose another tour. Any how, we had a nice tour, but I wouldn't mind to have seen a little bit more”
