What people love about Victoria Falls Tours from Johannesburg
- 3 Day Victoria Falls Tour from Johanensburg
This tour was absolutely stunning from start to finish! Africa Moja handled every detail perfectly — flights, transfers, hotel, and the Victoria Falls experience itself. The views were beyond breathtaking, and the sunset cruise on the Zambezi River was magical. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. A must-do trip if you're in Southern Africa!
- Okavango Experience
My wife and I had an incredible experience on this trip. The staff were the perfect mix of Professional and personable. Friendly, kind, and enjoyable to spend time with. Also very knowledgeable and helpful. Especially when we had a hiccup with our travel documents. They made every effort to help us sort it out and get our trip back on track. The tour was fantastic. Going into it I was hoping to see lots of wildlife, but was well aware that nature doesn't always co-operate and told myself that I'd be happy as long as I saw an elephant. My mind was blown by how much wild life we did get to see, both variety and quantity. The seclusion of camping in the middle of the Delta, completely surrounded by wild Africa, and spending time with the local polers was a unique experience we'll never forget. Even the long days traveling in the bus were enjoyable as we got to know our travel companions, it was a diverse group from all over the globe, and we quickly made a bus load of new friends. We took advantage of the optional tours offered. A fly over tour of the delta shows you how vast and populated it is, in a way that is difficult to comprehend from the ground. And the game drive through Chobe national park, before the river tour that night. Both of these extras were well worth the money. I would encourage peoples budget to include these add-ons. It is a basics tour, so plush accommodations are not to be expected. The heavy canvas tents, and sleeping matts provided were an adequate place to sleep, but my wife found the sleeping mats are to thin. I recommend to anybody not used to camping, bring an extra sleeping mat.
- 12 Day | Victoria Falls, Chobe, Kruger NP & Cape Town (South Africa)
Amazing experience in South Africa, with Big 5, natural wonders, and historic Cape Town. All guides are very professional, dedicated experts. Special thanks to tour operator Andrew for managing the tour at every step, providing help and answering any questions in real-time. Highly recommended especially if it's your first time visit to South Africa region.
