2.Lion & Wildlife Sanctuary Excursion Victoria Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · from $120

Review of Victoria Falls’ Lion and Wildlife Sanctuary excursion, with lion feeding, hyena walks, rescued animals, price, timing, and practical tips.

“Halbtägige Tour. Sehr gut organisiert, ich persönlich finde den Preis nicht gerechtfertigt. Im Endeffekt ist es ein bisschen zooartig und die Tiere werden „vorgeführt“. Wir sind den Hyänen hinterhergelaufen, die Antilopen werden gefüttert damit man sie sieht… also man hat auf jeden Fall die Garantie (im Gegensatz zu Nationalparks) alle dort lebenden Tiere zu sehen. Mir persönlich hat das aber eher ein Gefühl von Zoo vermittelt. Man fährt in die Gehege rein, direkt zu den Tieren, bleibt dann dort 20min daneben stehen und fährt dann weiter. Ich würde es nicht nochmal machen.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19 reviews · from $45

Review of Savannah Adventures’ Victoria Falls Zimbabwe walking tour, with a wildlife safari, rainforest views, costs, timing, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Unfortunately our guide struggled to gain entrance to the park for half an hour whilst we just stood there not knowing what was happening. When we finally did get in, he just walked along with us so we were very disappointed with this as we could have just done that ourselves.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6 reviews · 14 hours · from $330

Review of the Hwange Big 5 safari from Victoria Falls, covering wildlife, road time, lunch, costs, guides, and practical booking advice.

“Pick up was on time, very good and informative communication from the driver. According to this tour operator effective 1 January 2026 a VAT of 15,5% is levied by the Government for tourism. We only received this info from them very last minute and it was an additional 82$ (for 2). They should have informed us in advance of this increase! We have joined several tours and booked all tours far before the end of 2025. The other tour operators did not raise their price by 15,5% and mentioned that if the tour operator had prebooked before the end of 2025, the increase would not apply. Otherwise it was an…”
