Tuba is a fantastic guide, he deserves a pay rise :-)
Had the most incredible time exploring Victoria Falls with Tuba! 🌊✨ He was such a positive, happy, friendly, and knowledgeable wonderful guide — full of fun facts and stories that will make you laugh, that really brought the place to life. You can tell he loves what he does, and his energy made the whole experience unforgettable. The views were absolutely stunning, and Tuba made sure we got the best photo spots while also sharing so much about the history, culture, and nature around the Falls. Everything felt super relaxed, well-organized, and full of good vibes. If you’re visiting Victoria Falls, I can’t recommend Tuba enough. You’ll learn, laugh, and have an experience you’ll never forget! 🌈
