The woman presenter before him shouted quite loudly so her words were a bit inaudible. The food was delicious. It is a 3 course buffet so you can eat too much. Lovely local dishes. Don't miss it !”

Not only does it include the major attractions at the falls, but also a very rich 3-course dinner, fasttrack access to the attractions and the very limited access to the illumination controls. Our guide, Samara, is a real gem. She is indeed a real local and does her Job with all her heart. Giving inside infos on how to get the best views, telling interesting and funny background stories about the falls and the whole area and, and, and … Rarely was a recommendation easier made!”
