There was no tour leader on this 3 night trip to Victoria Falls. The hotel was of a very high standard and the trip around Victoria Falls was well guided by a local guide. The food at the hotel was excellent and I enjoyed strolling through the grounds of the hotel. I booked a helicopter ride through the hotel, but should have booked direct as this would have been cheaper. Overall a lovely extension to the Garden Route holiday.

I found the hotels to be of a very high standard all across the 12 day holiday. Plus, which was helpful to me all but one was on the ground floor. The penultimate hotel was very nice but my shared room was on the first floor, but Vern the tour leader carried my luggage up the stairs.
