What travelers are saying

"Because I have Stage 4 cancer, I chose to spend the extra money for trip insurance in case my cancer recurred. When a scan showed that it had, I cancelled my trip. I sent to them the medical documents from the Mayo Clinic confirming my new diagnosis. They sent me an email telling me my oncologist needed to fill in a form. I asked my oncologist to do that and I submitted it by fax on April 6th. When I didn’t hear anything, I sent them more medical documentation and asked them to please push forward my refund as I have travel expenses from a clinical trial coming up. Several days later I received an email that they needed further documentation from my doctor. How much more documentation do you need than the patient has stage 4 metastatic cancer and is starting a clinical trial??? This is heartless to me. Please don’t plan to travel through Road Scholar if you’re medically vulnerable!!"

What travelers are saying

"We've taken over 10 group tours using Cosmos and Gate1. This trip last month, 9000 was not very good. -During booking, incorrect information was given about airport-hotel transfers -The whispers (listening devices) didn't work from the get-go, so no whispers were used during the 13 day trip. - Porters are no longer hired to bring your luggage to and from your room. (Very elderly had to handle their own luggage. Our friends had to help many of them.) -A few days into the trip one couple left. At the end of the trip we found out they had covid. Cosmos did not let us know; a few people weren't feeling well and two of our friends then tested positive. -One hotel was awful and not even up to "budget" standards -Many of the stops had castles, churches... but were not included, so be sure to count that in when pricing.  don't plan to use Cosmos ever again. Gate1 is the best in my opinion. When my husband's passport was stolen, they assigned someone to go with him to the embassy, translate, etc...It was above and beyond what we expected  "

What travelers are saying

"Sad to see a once good tour company stumble and fall into mediocrity. That’s Tauck post-Covid. My May 2023 tour of Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley was done on the cheap by Tauck, yet cost me thousands of dollars extra as a solo traveler on a special small-group tour. 

5-star hotels switched to 3 and 4 (without any compensation or explanation)… many more meals “on your own”… lots of “self-guided” tours of museums and chateaux and castles we knew nothing about… airline quality “rubber chicken” dinners, not in hotel restaurants, but in sad and isolated business convention spaces… poorly-trained newer Tour Directors (like the one on this tour) with limited experience traveling outside her tiny Canadian village or dealing with people from diverse backgrounds. She even confessed that this was a second gig job that took her away from her own business back home! You get what Tauck pays for, but unfortunately, not what YOU pay for. 

Speaking to a “Guest Relations” agent was comically pointless. She tried to make everything my fault, which I now understand is par for the course with the “new” post-Covid Tauck. Please reconsider spending huge amounts of your hard-earned money on a tour company that has lost its way and no longer delivers."

Zimbabwe Tour Selection Trips

  • The best wildlife viewing comes during Zimbabwe’s dry winter season, which stretches from April to November, when animals seek out water holes to drink.
  • The wet season, November to March, is more lush and brings the birth of baby animals.
  • Victoria Falls lies on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia, and each country provides different perspectives on it: Zimbabwe offers a classic, holistic view of falls. To get there, though, you have to cross through the small rainforest created by the fall's mist. 
  • The Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls offers much more waterfall and spray action than the Zambian side during the October-November peak dry season.
  • The town of Victoria Falls is in Zimbabwe, and lies a bit closer to the falls itself than the town of Livingstone, which is in Zambia. If you wish to visit both, check current visa requirements.
  • Don’t overlook Zimbabwe’s other, less-publicized attractions, including Lake Kariba, Mana Pools National Park, and the Great Zimbabwe National Monument, each with their own memorable natural or historical experiences.
  • With tourism numbers way down in Zimbabwe in recent years due to highly publicized political unrest, you’ll find the game parks largely uncrowded -- yet the country has friendly people, is considered safe and welcoming, and has seen some targeted discounting to attract more visitors.
