Amazing guide! Extremely knowledgeable and such a joyful person. We learned so much more being with a Guide rather than doing this on our own. Highly recommend!

Victoria Falls
This guided walking tour takes you along the rainforest pathways of Victoria Falls National Park, leading to the most spectacular viewpoints of the waterfall. You’ll see the thundering Main Falls, Devil’s Cataract, and the Knife Edge Bridge, each offering unforgettable photo opportunities and perspectives of the Zambezi River. Along the way, your guide will highlight the unique plants, birdlife, and geology of the area while sharing stories that connect the Falls to local culture and history. The pace is relaxed, with time to enjoy the mist, rainbows, and natural beauty that give Victoria Falls its name, “The Smoke that Thunders.”
The Big Tree
Standing over 1,000 years old, the Big Tree is a massive baobab located just outside Victoria Falls town. Measuring more than 20 meters high and nearly 22 meters around, it’s one of the largest and oldest trees in Zimbabwe. Travelers can admire its sheer size, learn about the cultural and ecological significance of baobabs, and capture memorable photos beside this natural giant. The Big Tree is often included as a short stop on the way to or from the Falls—a quiet moment with one of Africa’s most iconic species. Highlights Visit one of the largest and oldest baobabs in Zimbabwe Learn about the tree’s role in local culture and ecology Great photo opportunity at a natural landmark

Ms. Gold was awesome. I don't normally book tours like this because I think we could have just gotten a taxi there, but I'm glad I did. I really appreciated the knowledge she had about the falls and the plants and birds. She kept us on schedule and even took some fantastic photos of us. I would absolutely recommend ma gold!

Vic Falls
It was great to have transfer to the entrance and the local knowledge of the falls and Zimbabwe provided by Locks. Who also made sure I had a raincoat because it was certainly needed! The intense water spray impacted on views of the Falls. I stayed on in the park after the tour had finished to catch a few more glimpses.
