Thelma offers a calm, insightful guided experience shaped by her Tonga heritage and lifelong connection to the Zambezi. Living near the river, she understands Mosi-oa-Tunya—The Smoke That Thunders—as both a natural wonder and a cultural landmark woven into daily life. On this guided walk, you’ll explore the Falls at an unhurried pace, stopping at carefully chosen viewpoints that reveal the scale, power, and mood of the cascades. Along the way, Thelma shares stories passed down through the Tonga people, explains local interpretations of the landscape, and offers context that guidebooks tend to skip. Her curiosity for languages and love of meeting people makes the experience engaging, relaxed, and refreshingly human. This tour is ideal for travelers who value authenticity, cultural insight, and a deeper connection to place—less shouting facts, more meaningful moments.

2The Big Tree
The Big Tree Experience – Guided Stop with Thelma No visit to Victoria Falls is complete without meeting The Big Tree—and Thelma makes sure it’s more than a photo stop. This towering Baobab, standing calmly near the Falls, is a quiet witness to centuries of travellers, traders, and local life along the Zambezi. For the Tonga people, trees like this are markers of time, meeting points, and storytellers in their own right. During this guided stop, Thelma shares the cultural meaning of the Baobab, its role in local traditions, and why it remains a place of respect rather than spectacle. It’s a moment to slow down, step out of the spray and noise of the Falls, and appreciate the balance between power and patience in nature.
