My recent walking safari in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, was an absolute delight, and I can't praise it enough! The tour named "Walking Safari to the Falls, Bridge and Beyond with Savannah," was a five-star adventure that exceeded all expectations, thanks in large part to my wonderful guide named Junior. For some reason the communication was not very clear with the company about me doing the tour early in the morning but as soon as I made connection with the company they quickly organised for junior to come and assist me.
From the very beginning, Junior's warm and welcoming personality set the tone for the day. His genuine enthusiasm for sharing his knowledge of the area and its natural wonders was infectious. It was evident that he was not just a guide but a true ambassador for Victoria Falls.
What truly stood out about Junior was his wealth of knowledge. He seemed to have an encyclopedic understanding of the local flora, fauna, and history of the region. His explanations were both informative and engaging, bringing the surroundings to life in a way that captivated me.
One of the most remarkable aspects of this tour was Junior's willingness to go the extra mile. When I expressed my desire to explore a bit more of the area, he was more than happy to accommodate my request. We ventured off the beaten path and discovered hidden gems that added an extra layer of enchantment to the journey.
One notable advantage of this tour was the absence of the $50 bridge-crossing fee, which is typically required for those who wish to view the falls from that vantage point. Despite not crossing the bridge, we still enjoyed breathtaking views of the falls from a different angle, offering a unique perspective that many tourists miss out on. It was especially thrilling to witness bungee jumpers taking the leap from the bridge as we admired the falls from our viewpoint.
In summary, my walking safari with Junior in Victoria Falls was an unforgettable experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Junior's exceptional guiding skills, coupled with the opportunity to explore the falls without the bridge fee, made this tour a standout. It's an enriching and immersive way to connect with the natural beauty of Victoria Falls, and I can't thank Junior and the team at Savannah enough for creating such a memorable adventure. Five stars all the way!
