Honeymoon trip to Victoria Falls Everything was very well handled by Falcon Safaris, from the transfers to the itinerary of activities. We got to do everything we wanted to do while we were there...and then some!! The staff was very friendly & helpful in making our trip truly a dream come true. Also, we highly recommend the Victoria Falls Hotel, as it was the perfect venue for our Honeymoon!! Read more

Lila & Lonnie, United States

We had the most fantastic experience with Falcon Safari--they arranged an amazing tour that included lodging (A'Zambezi River Lodge), dinner cruise on Zambezi, walking tour of Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe side), helicopter tour, dinner at Livingstone Room, dinner at Boma, day trip to Chobe, and then arranged for a 4 day stay with lodging and tours in Johannesburg. We cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the time we were picked up at the airport to the time we were dropped off again--every transfer was on time or early, accommodations were fantastic and the tour guides were amazing. Worth every penny (which I thought was very reasonable for completely private tours). We loved our visit to Zimbabwe and Chobe. The arrangements in Johannesburg were awesome as well. Thank you, thank you, for a trip of a lifetime. Your vacation package was absolutely amazing and your services superb. Read more
