We want to gain some of this inner peace and take it home. - Thank you Thelma, we as family, there was not even single moment we felt unsafe in the rainforest of the Victoria falls. Unbelievable the way you guided us sharing gealogy of the mighty zambezi and Victoria ,your culture and bits pieces of your history of your country. Your knowledge seems vast and there wasn't a single question you didn't have the answer. Also the information about the Victoria falls bridge . May lucky and happiness be always with you. Thank you!

Great Tour of Vic Falls - This was a lovely experience with Thelma. We were picked up promptly in the morning and driven to Victoria Falls, via the Big Tree. The Falls were amazing, and Thelma was able to help with the history of the area and answer any of our questions. Note: If you go in March, you will definitely need waterproof clothes and shoes, and I would also recommend leaving a hand towel in the car for after.

We had a great adventure! - Absolutely worth it—our guide Thelma made Victoria Falls come alive. We met at 9 a.m. at the Rainforest entrance, and she led us along the misty paths with stories about the geology, local history, and even where to spot monkeys without losing our snacks. She timed our stops perfectly—great light for photos at Main Falls and a quiet moment at the viewpoint before the crowds arrived. Provided ponchos, safe footing tips, and answered every random question we had. By the end, we weren’t just snapping pictures; we understood why this place matters. Comfortable pace, clear safety brief, and zero rush. I’d book the same guide again!
