Last Minute Zimbabwe Tours and July

Our Cape Safari and Falls trip with Contiki was an unforgettable 12 days, and a big part of that came down to our tour guide. They were incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights that really helped us understand each place we visited, while also making sure we felt safe and confident during every activity. Starting in Cape Town was the perfect introduction. The slower pace at the beginning gave us time to settle in and properly learn about South Africa, rather than feeling rushed. It set the tone nicely for the rest of the trip. Heading to Kruger National Park was a real highlight. Seeing such a wide range of animals in their natural environment was incredible, especially witnessing interactions between them. It felt like something out of a documentary, but happening right in front of us. Moving on to Victoria Falls was equally memorable. The falls themselves were stunning, and the optional bridge activities added a real sense of adventure. What worked well was the flexibility, if you didn’t want to take part, there was still plenty to do, from watching others to browsing local street vendors. Finally, traveling into Botswana was a standout moment of the trip. Camping in the park with no fences was both surreal and exciting. Being so close to wildlife, while still feeling safe, made it a unique and memorable experience, and definitely a personal highlight. Overall, it was a well-balanced trip with a great mix of learning, adventure, and downtime. It’s one I’d highly recommend to anyone looking to experience this part of the world in a meaningful and exciting way.

This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! We enjoyed every moment. The scenery was absolutely breath-taking, the people were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and the animals were simply beautiful. Seeing them up close in their natural habitat was an awe‑inspiring moment I’ll never forget. For anyone even thinking about taking this trip and feeling unsure—do it. You won’t regret it!

Perfect mix of Safari, beaches, adventure and adrenaline. The knowledge and of the trip manager and all the safari guides was exceptional and their passion and love for Africa was contagious.

The tour was amazing. The most memorable experience was the tented camp, with Elephants drinking from the pool. Monkeys everywhere and being able to look out the doors and see wildlife all around.

Coelette did a fantastic job making my dreams come true. The safaris were excellent and so much fun!!! I recommend the Cape Town extension and tour or the peninsula. Small group let us all get to know each other which enhanced the experience. I can't say enough about how amazing Thuka and Shuie, our guides, were. They made this trip unforgettable!
