Lion & Wildlife Sanctuary Excursion Victoria Falls

2.Lion & Wildlife Sanctuary Excursion Victoria Falls

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

Get close to lions, hyenas, ostriches and rescued wildlife on a three-hour Victoria Falls sanctuary tour with feeding and photo stops.

“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.”

Sunset Cruise Wildlife Watching Experience at Zambezi River

3.Sunset Cruise Wildlife Watching Experience at Zambezi River

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · from $45Best value

Cruise the Zambezi at sunset from Victoria Falls, with drinks, snacks, hotel pickup, and chances to see hippos, elephants, crocodiles, and birds.

“We were the only ones on the cruise and it was a good evening. The skipper navigated the small boat very well and was knowledgeable and friendly. The appetizers were a little on the dry side. My only complaint was the late arrival for pick up at the hotel as well as we felt the cruise was cut short with half an hour.”

Walk through Zimbabwe’s bush with a local guide before seeing Victoria Falls, with wildlife sightings possible and park fees paid separately.

“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.”
