Overview
Beyond the lodges and activity centres, most people in the Victoria Falls area live in rural villages. On this tour a local guide introduces you to a village community. You visit homesteads, see how meals are prepared, learn about farming, schooling and traditional customs, and hear about life in the region in the words of the people who live it.
It’s a conversation, not a performance. Ask questions, share your own stories, and leave with a far richer understanding of Zimbabwe. Part of the tour fee goes to the host community.
- Visit rural homesteads with a local guide
