Welcome to Rick and Jess Adventures! This channel is dedicated to sharing our travel experiences around the globe.
If you’re here, then you’ve got a passion for travelling like we do. The way the idea for this channel came about is we would go on vacations and post about our trips on social media. As friends and family would see our posts, we’d get questions about our adventures and often we’d give our perspective about the experience. From sharing our advice, every now and then we’d get a nudge about starting a travel channel with the goal of being able to help others with their travel plans. Finally, thanks to all of those nudges, we are moving forward with sharing our experiences with the world.
From an international perspective, brace yourself for future videos on Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, the Middle East, the South Pacific, and South America.

From which website did you book this and what all were the things included ?
@@sarabansal5034 Thank you for your question. At the time we made our booking, Tripadvisor used to have a membership called TripAdvisor Plus. It was a great service because it offered deep discounts on bookings that far exceeded the membership fee. Since that no longer exists, I compare the hotel’s official prices with prices that are available on TripAdvisor, which searches multiple websites. Sometimes, websites like Expedia offer better deals.
@ thank you so much

Great video! Are the excursions that you did (nature walks, trip to Deadvlei, hot air balloon) included in the price of your stay or were they all extra?
@@Frankthetank921 Thank you for the compliment. We really appreciate the kind words. The nature walks and the trip to Deadvlei were included in the price of our stay. However, the hot air balloon ride was booked separately with the company. It is possible that the resort may offer a deal depending on the number of bookings. We just wanted to make sure we secured the booking in the event that space was limited.

Thank you both! We are returning to Moremi (and Desert and Delta) for another safari next May. Great video and info!
@@andrewhouk6038 Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate it.
Hello, You mentioned that you had a tour guide for the falls on the Zimbabwe side. do You think this is necessary or can do on own like you did on the other side. Thanks
@@CathieScott-uh4hh It’s convenient if you need a hotel pick up and drop off. Otherwise, there are signs on site that provide helpful explanations.
@@RicknJessAdventures thanks so much
@@CathieScott-uh4hh you’re very welcome. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
Wow, amazing details. Thank you.🙏
@@MamaLlama007 thank you so much for your kind comment. You’re very welcome.
I'm Namibian and think your video is the best for any tourist. Thank you!
@@lyb8714 I can't think of a greater compliment than your kind words. It means a lot to know that a local found our information valuable for other tourists eager to explore your wonderful country.
I found that majority of the falls was in Zambia
When it comes to national parks, the link below features an image of Victoria Falls along with its key viewpoints. Notably, the national park on the Zimbabwe side offers more vantage points (1-16) for viewing the falls compared to the Zambian side, which includes the iconic Knife Edge viewpoint (17). www.discover-victoriafalls.com/victoria-falls-images/victoria-falls-tour.jpg
the water is in Zambia together with devil's pool but the view of the falls is more on the Zimbabwean side
how much did this all cost?
@@stowgood Thank you for leaving a comment. Hotel prices can vary widely based on the season; peak times usually mean higher rates. For a rough estimate, nice hotels range from $30 a night to luxurious options over $1,000. To get a rough estimate on current prices, you can check websites like Trip advisor or Expedia with your desired travel dates. For the Devil's Pool experience, checking the website today, it is being offered at $120 per person. The website we used for booking is: devilspool.net/. The Batoka Sky Helicopter starts at $189 per person. The Ra-ikane Sunset Cruise with snacks and open bar is $92 per person. For more information, their website is: www.raikane.com. Finally, these were the prices that were listed on their websites as of today's date. It’s possible that local tour operators or hotels may have access to discounts, especially if you’re planning on booking everything as a packaged deal.
Any concern with malaria while here?
@@travistuong3132 Thank you for your question. Before traveling, we recommend checking the CDC website for up-to-date information on health precautions: wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel. When we visited, it was advised to take a daily prescription medication to prevent malaria. However, since we’re not medical professionals, we strongly suggest consulting a doctor for personalized medical advice. During our visit, which was during the dry season, we did not encounter any issues with mosquitoes.
What month did you go? I've been researching and I've seen that it's better to go from August- December
@@gilbertnicholas1582 Thank you for your comment. If your goal is to see Victoria Falls at full strength (high water levels), then it’s usually recommended to visit from March to June. If your goal is to experience Devil’s Pool, like us, then you will need to visit during low water levels. That is typically between mid August to January. If your goal is to experience the best game viewing, then it’s recommended to visit during the dry season when animals tend to congregate near water sources and the brush is lower. For us, we visited in early October, which was perfect for experiencing Devil’s Pool and for game viewing. One day, I’d like to go back and experience the area during a different season.
I’m sure whatever time of year you decide to visit it will be an amazing experience.

Hello. I'm doing much of the same activities and am wondering how much - if anything - did you tip your tour guides, drivers, etc?
@@mash417 Hi, thank you for reaching out. For our trip, I believe we tipped at least $20 per day for the tour guide and $10 for drivers. However, if something extraordinary happens, my wife would significantly increase that amount. 😂 Typically, before I travel, I do the same thing you’re doing and I double check what’s customary. Then if we consider the service to be above standard we tip more accordingly.
Hey, cool video! It was entertaining and informative. I'm from Swakopmund and i think this is a good video representing some of best places you can visit in Namibia. If anyone has some questions about travelling here, i can try to answer them in the perspective of a local/someone living here😅
@@toasti_wt Thank you for your thoughtful message. Our primary goal is to share our experiences in a way that is (hopefully) helpful to others. If we can do so while also being a bit entertaining, that's an added bonus. With that being said, it's especially rewarding to read a compliment from a local from the area we visited. Finally, thank you for offering to help other travelers who may have questions.
Very informative video. We are planning on visiting next April who did you use to book the accommodation in Victoria Falls area?
@@tarapdr638 Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We appreciate your kind words. When we made our bookings, we benefited from a Trip Advisor Plus membership, which offered discounted room rates across various hotels for an annual fee of $99. Unfortunately, they discontinued that program. Despite that, I still recommend comparing prices on Trip Advisor, Expedia, and the hotels' official websites to find the best deals. I hope you have an amazing vacation!
Do you get to sand surf down?!?!
@@dennisschnell we didn’t get to sand surf here (might be a little too steep 🤷🏼♀️ or the sand is too soft, not sure), but we did sand board when we went a little further north to Swakopmund. The sand there was a lot more compact, so that may be the difference.
🎉🎉
Quite informative, thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to write this kind comment. We really appreciate it. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Hello, how was your overall stay? Me and my husband leave for Xugana in two weeks. Any tips? Thnx
We absolutely loved our stay at Xugana! For me, I wasn't anticipating booking the helicopter safari. It was a spur of a moment decision. Looking back, that was an incredible memory and I would have regretted not reserving it. With that being said, if you're on the fence about it... book it, you won't regret it. In terms of activities, we had the opportunity to experience the mokoro excursion, motorized boat safari, and the guided bush walk. All of the activities are special in their own way. The mokoro excursion was unique to Botswana (and us) and therefore it left the biggest impression. The only activity we really made use of a binoculars was the guided bush walk. For safety reasons, we keep our distance from the animals. Lastly, one thing that stuck out to me was the bugs. Before the trip, there were some concerns about mosquitos, as such we came prepared by spraying our clothing with permethrin and we bought mosquito repellant bracelets. In any case, it turned out that either our preparation worked or it was far less of a concern because we really didn't experience any mosquitos. It's hard to say if it was due to the time of the year because when we visited it was early October.
@@RicknJessAdventures Thank you for your detailed answer. Not sure about the helicopter flight at first but as the days come closer its sounds better and better. We have anti- mosquito spray. We also have malaria pills. Dont know if that is really something we need. Cant wait to be there. Sounds amazing. Almost time to go on adventure.
@@Mesmerizingbetta You're very welcome! We'd love to hear how your adventures went. Have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute of it.
Very useful video. Thanks. 😊 we are organising our trip to Namibia for next year. We would like to stay at the kulala desert lounge. How did you book it? Thank you.
Thank you so much for the comment. We truly appreciate it. When it comes to booking lodges/hotels, I tend to check a number of different websites. I like to check: Trip advisor, Expedia, Booking.com, and I always double check the lodge or hotel’s main website. Surprisingly, the main websites may have the lowest price. If not, if you’re booking directly, they may match the prices found on another website. For this specific booking, the best deal that I could find was at Booking.com. It should be noted that there was another couple that showed up at the lodge and got a fantastic deal. Rather than paying for an all inclusive rate, they just paid a low night rate and chose to pay for the activities they wanted to do. I didn’t even know that was an option.
@@RicknJessAdventuresMany thanks for your reply and the tips.I will have a look at booking … and directly. Happy travel.😀
@@nathalier2608 you’re very welcome! I hope you have the trip of a lifetime. Happy travels to you as well.
