Vic Falls : Our honest opinion. Ep308

et oui, malgree tout ce sont les chutes de Victoria!

the mighty Mosi-oa-Tunya.......great video there!

Amazing trip and beautiful views 😊

Молодцы!!! Очень интересно!!!

I went to Vic Falls in the late eighties. Hardly any tourism- no chopper rides. However, I did fly up the gorge and over the falls in a chopper for free - as part of a recce team for a movie shoot. Was the most incredible experience of my life! So sorry to see this tourism spectacle that you guys experienced.

You guys are getting more saffa everyday! Lekker Potjie and braai guys! Nothing like it with hard wood coals and a bush view!

Do you lower your air pressure when driving through mud and tough terrain? US national parks are comparable in price unless you buy the annual permit.

I stayed at Sinamatella with my folks in 1993 I was 12 yrs old. It was a stunning well run campsite! The Zimbabwe land grabs and government just destroyed the country and it's economy!

Words can't explain that White Water Rafting on the Zambezi, it's one of the best experienced ever!

Thanks this video, not having been to Hwange myself. Really sad about having a coal mine in a game reserve

Went Vic Falls in 1987 when there was none of the tourist dancing performances etc and no entrance gates or fees. Much more peaceful experience then 😂

P.S. Totally appreciate you using our local lingo.. So Correct.. "Braai." Etc etc ..

Cheers 🍻

So you didn't notice the lion next to the windmill 7 minutes into your video?

Hey there, really enjoying your trip through Africa. I live in Nairobi Kenya and have done this trip a few times. I work with Intu-Africa 4 x 4 in Nairobi and would be pleased to host you when you are in this area.

Loved it🐆🐆👏👏defender was happy too. No issues

If I recall the history, during colonial times Wanke coal was the one thing that could not be “claimed” as a mining lease.

Hi..amazing adventure. If one day the couple deciding to visit Brasil come and see the brazilian falls in foz do iguacu. And our door will open to your visit. Antonie and Marcia.

South africans fall under SADEC and pay U$30

Really loved the first 7 minutes, action and no annoying music!

Really beautiful and stunning! Thank you.

lol... that has to be so stressful. Hoping you don't need to winch because of a possible lion in the bush.

what no bull ?

Thank you guys, again

We flew over the falls in 2013, by helicopter, it was´nt so expensive back then, and it was less helicopters flying at anyone time. It gave us a much better view of the falls then from the park entrance, which I agree was way overpriced, the same as the visa to enter Zimbabwe. But the tourists come and pay what the locals want so the price increases each year, a real shame as getting there is a huge cost. Happy you enjoyed the trip. keep the videos coming.

Simplement beau, merci 👍
A très vite sur vos routes ❤

Been to Vic falls twice and it’s incredible. It very much depends on the season you visit though, first time we went it was the dry season so quite a lot of the falls were dry, 2nd time it was the rainy season and it truly was incredible. Worth seeing from both sides of the border, I’d argue the Zambian side is actually the better side to view it from and you can see right down the gorge.

Beautiful footage of an amazing trip 😍

thanks guys always enjoy your content

What a beautiful place, stayed at Sprayview Hotel for a month,
What an epic time that was.
Regards to Bill and Denny Duggan.
Thanks to Hanse Cronje.

Another must see place in Africa that. Has made its cost way to hi . And we were most disappointed by the never ending sounds of the helicopter’s . But still one of Africa’s must see places the history of the area is very interesting . Thanks for bringing use along for the ride ,on this great African adventure . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :) :) 🌍👊🏼🍻👍🏼😁

Sorry to have missed your trip through as we would have loved to have hosted you on one of our sunrise yoga experiences - a welcome relief I'm sure it would have been after that bumpy Hwange - Vic Falls Road! 😂Safe travels on the rest of your adventure!🌍

Was just in Vic Falls - it’s gorgeous. While I agree the entry price was high (and many things were expensive in Vic falls) they do need to maintain the paved trails etc. and it is a major source of income for a country struggling financially. I read that the entry revenue primarily supports the conservation and management of the park, including its natural state, wildlife, and historical sites. A portion of the revenue also goes towards the local community through initiatives like job creation and tourism-related businesses. So if that’s true, I am happy my money is being used in a worthwhile way.

The water was high when I was there the first week of April, so the Zambian end of the falls was also in full force. I walked across the bridge and entered Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park…which had a fee, but I don’t remember the amount (though I don’t think it was extremely expensive)…and enjoyed the views from that side too.

Looks like the water was a bit low. I hope you stopped at the Vic Falls Hotel for lunch on the stoep. It’s also a pity that you didn’t take a trip to Mana Pools, one of the best places to camp in Zimbabwe

Great :-)

I visited Victoria Falls in 1990, and the river rafting I did there is still one of the best travel days I have ever had. What an amazing adventure! ❤

Leigh you build incredibly 'neatly camp-fires ❤ to both

C’est magnifique et magique ces chutes de Victoria je comprends votre surprise dans le prix appliqué aux touristes maintenant c’est partout dans les tous les pays nous sommes des nantis. Bonne continuation dans votre aventure.👍😉👏🇫🇷

It's an unfortunate fact of life that anything that attracts tourists also attracts high prices.

Thanks for a great trip report, we need more travellers like you. Sorry about the entry fee to the Falls, and yes the money doesn't go into fixing the road from Bulawayo to Vic Falls. Thanks for a very positive report.

Great video and route.. We felt privileged doing this route last month though animals sighting were also rare... I think I saw your ka driver at Robins camp camp

Fantastic campsite Robins, have to get back there soon. So good to see it in the wet. ❤

Stunning Guys, the negative comments about Sinamantela will be from people who saw the camp and its accomodation and resturant in the 70’s and 80’s, but that view is unbreakable ❤❤

Merci à vous pour cette magnifique vidéo 🎉

Beaucoup trop de pub.

Those costs are excessive to go into the falls sorry you got ripped off.
