Reviews of Cultural Vibes Travel & tours

Very well organized and smooth from Start to Finish

Tongesai organized our tour very well. He is very calm and spoke very clear and eloquent as well, making the tour a very nice experience. Communication on planning has been very good as well - all in all a great experience!

Tongasai was warm, friendly, extremely knowledgeable and a superb host and representative of Zimbabw

I cannot fault this tour. Attention to detail, professionalism and warmth could not be faulted. We loved the personal attention and especially having game drives just for us. The game guides were so well selected and knowledgeable. The team at Bayeti Nkosi where we stayed we beyond amazing. This small lodge is a haven from the heat. Excellent service. Outstanding staff. This may be a small operator but they are mighty in their delivery.

Tongesai is an amazing guide who pays attention to every detail.

Cultural Vibes Travel and Tours and Tongesai Mutematsaka come with my highest recommendation!! Our trip to Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Botswana was everything I could have dreamed of. Tongesai was easy to work with, and always communicated back with me very quickly. I told him what I wanted and he personalized our experience within our budget. He was very flexible when I wanted to make any changes. He took care of every detail so I didn't have to. It was fabulous!! I highly recommend!! You will not be disappointed.

Promptly responsive, reliable, and enjoyable to deal with.

My husband and I just returned from a seven-week trip to southern and east Africa, which included a 9-day tour with Cultural Vibes. We dealt with Tongesai Mutematsaka in planning the trip, and he was our driver and main guide. (He was a safe driver which added to our enjoyment of the trip.) He was completely and promptly responsive to queries and requests beforehand, and arranged lodging and meals that were excellent. Our tour included Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park with boat rides on both the Zambezi and Chobe Rivers, Elephant Sands, Planet Baobab, a special side trip to see meerkats near the Nwetwe Pan, Maun, Moremi National Park, and a canoe ride in, and a helicopter ride over, the Okavango Delta. The trip included numerous game drives and two nature walks. It would be impossible to overstate what a great value this trip was, and how nice Tongesai was to deal with. There were no hitches or glitches, and we learned and saw more than we had even hoped. We also liked that Cultural Vibes helps meet the needs of local grade school students, as primary education is not paid for by the government. We recommend Cultural Vibes to anyone interested in visiting Southern Africa -- an excellent company and beautiful area of the world.

Impressive - trip of a lifetime - highly recommended

We (my wife and I) have just completed a 10-day tour of Zimbabwe & Botswana, plus a day-trip to Zambia - Tongesai tailored the tour to meet our interests. It was amazing, the trip of a lifetime. Highlights included touring Victoria Falls, staying at Elephant Sands, game drives in Hwange, Chobe and Moremi reserves, boat cruises on the Zambezi and Chobe rivers, and helicopter flights over Victoria Falls and the Okavango Delta. Very reasonably priced, good value for money. All accommodation and food was included in the price and was all high quality. Communication with Tongesai (booking / pre-arrival) was good, and very prompt. Gari, our main guide/driver for the whole tour, was excellent - highly knowledgeable, informative, experienced, professional, reliable, flexible, and friendly.

The tour operator can make or break your trip. We had a 5 star operator. First class tour.

Our tour guide was always early to pick us up and a first class guy. The vehicles were clean and the operator was well connected in the community, which allowed us to make on the fly schedule changes. Victoria Falls is incredible on foot at the park as well as touring via helicopter. The tour operator arranged it all. You can’t do it by yourself. They arranged 5 star hotel for us to stay and have some meals. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend this tour company and our tour.

Completely trustworthy, professional and dedicated to making your holiday the best it can be

I am totally impressed with this company. My emails were answered within the hour, and when I accidentally paid too much money for the tour I booked, the company immediately notified me and organized the refund. I had booked a 2-night Hwange Game Park game drive tour for my friend and me. Everything that this company organized for us, was fantastic. We knew nothing about Hwange Game Park or about any of the accommodation options available but what Cultural Tours and Travel organized for us was way above what we had expected to get, given what we paid. We were booked into Iganyana Luxury Tented Camp, which was a wonderful experience - a mix of very comfortable living in a bush environment, with great food, beautifully furnished and very comfortable tents, very attentive staff, a wonderful setting and game drives with very few other jeeps around. Elephants came to drink from the swimming pool at night and we could watch animals grazing while sitting outside enjoying the bush atmosphere. A Cultural Tours and Travel representative picked us up from the Hotel in Victoria Falls in a very comfortable and new-looking minivan and drove us to the Camp then back to the Hotel at the end of our stay, providing very interesting information about Zimbabwe and the wildlife along the way. The next time we travel to Zimbabwe, we will definitely book with Cultural Tours and Travel and if we do another game drive tour, we'll request to be accomodated at the Iganyana Luxury Tented Camp again.

The most incredible Safari ever!

Gary and Tongesai provided us with the most incredible honeymoon we could ever have imagined. We spent 9 days travelling from Victoria Falls to the Okavango Delta, experiencing so much wildlife, laughter, food & culture. The trip was extremely well organised, it was completely stress free. Gary was able to accommodate all of our needs and last-minute requests whilst we were on our trip. Every lodge we stayed in provided some fantastic food and service, we were treated like royalty. After each of our game drives or experiences, Gary was able to debrief us at the end of each day. He answered our questions and taught us so much about what we had seen that day. We've come away with so much knowledge and so many memories as well as some incredible photos! Zimbabwe and Botswana are stunning countries, we will definitely be back in the future! There is an abundance of wildlife, we saw something new every single day.

A well organised team who are willing to adapt a tour to the needs of their clients.

Tongesai and his team provided a wonderful itinerary on our recent trip to Victoria Falls with day trips to Zambia and Botswana. They were a thoughtful and knowledgeable team who took great care to tailor the trip to our family's needs.

Kara Fraser

Excellent and reliable tour operator

We booked a day trip to Chobe NP in Botswana from Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe with Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours. Communication with Tongesai from Cultural Vibes Travel & Tours was excellent and he came to pick us up on time. He drove us to the border and handed us to a Botswana tour operator and we had a great day in Chobe - a 3-hour game drive, a good lunch and 3-hour boat ride. After the tour, we met Tongesai at the border and he drove us back to our lodge. All in all, everything went as planned and Tongesai provided friendly service.

Eemi

Absolutely amazing, so patient and well experienced. Personalised experience for all

We met Tongesai through Tripadvisor and as foreigners coming into a different country, we doubted the legitimacy of the services provided. Tongesai understood and tailored our experience to make us comfortable. Upon arrival, we met him and he was so lovely. He made sure we got the best experience, and we felt at home. We will be using their services every time we go to Zimbabwe.

Natalie Chirairo

Knowledgeable, kind, proffesional, and punctual

Tongesai was the best tour guide we could’ve had. He was kind, punctual, and very knowledgeable about the history of Victoria falls. We initially planned on having Tongesai for only one day during our trip, but we ended up using his services for the duration of our trip because of how great his services were .
