Safari that exceeded all my expectations Something of a bucket list holiday for me. The combination of different locations was testament to the local knowledge of the tour organisers. Yes the trip is full on, be prepared for the early starts and different activities, but they are worth it. All very well organised, taking into account differing physical capabilities, and designed to get the best out of the specific area.
An excellent Wildlife experience A wide range of wildlife spotted. We were extremely lucky to see Wild Dogs twice, a good number of White Rhino in Umfolozi and significant herds of elephant, Zebra and giraffe amongst many other animals. Also had a good sighting of lions on our last day in Kruger. Andrew, very well assisted by Trymore, was an excellent guide full of enthusiasm and a great host. Food prepared at the sites was very good as was the choice of restaurants on the occasions that we ate in towns. There was a good close up experience with dolphins in Mozambique and it was the dolphins that approached the guests rather than the other way around. The border crossing from Mozambique involved a lengthy delay as it was a Sunday and many workers travelling across to South Africa. The lodges used were comfortable and well located. Overall, a highly recommended trip for those who love wildlife although as always sightings can never be guaranteed.
Good all encompassing tour. Excellent guides. Lovely group. Only gripe is the transport; considering the amount of time spent on the bus it was extremely uncomfortable. Seats hard, poor springs, tendency to slide off the seats as they were covered with a camp like material.
