Experience the authentic side of Victoria Falls with a guided tour of Chinotimba Township, home to the majority of the town’s residents and rich in local culture and history.
The name “Chinotimba” comes from the Nambya language and refers to the thunderous roar of the mighty Victoria Falls. During this immersive cultural experience, you’ll explore the township alongside an experienced local guide who will introduce you to its history, people, and daily way of life.
Visit local markets, traditional neighborhoods, churches, and community gathering places while learning about the customs and traditions of the Nambya and Tonga people, the original inhabitants of the Victoria Falls region.
When schools are in session, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit Chinotimba Primary School, where guests are welcomed by the headmaster or a member of staff and may enjoy a performance by the students.
This tour offers a meaningful opportunity to connect with the local community and gain a deeper appreciation of Zimbabwean culture beyond the famous waterfall.
