Great trip, lots of variety in accommodation from lodges, luxury tents to serviced camping.
Our guide was amazing and managed to track and find lots of animals although luck has a lot to do with it! Visiting a range of reserves in Botswana, we had the opportunity to see lots of different landscapes/vegetation and species.
Recommend layers for wearing on 4WD as it is cold in the morning and trip does include some long drives in open sided vehicle.
Note, there's opportunity to buy drinks for the 5 nights camping and cooler in 4WD. Water and hot drinks provided.
The food during the camping and stay on houseboat was lovely.
Houseboat rooms are small and hot as windows/doors don't have flyscreens.
Long drive through Namibia which includes 3 border crossings, we were lucky on our trip and all went relatively smoothly, would've been nice to have a nights stay in Namibia to visit one of its parks and not have so much travel and stress for guide.

From the moment we arrived in Maun, every day brought another highlight - it will be hard to find another holiday which tops this one. Just outstanding from start to finish

You are exceptionally lucky to have Andrew K as your guide on this trip. The trip is made by him. He is totally professional and goes well out of his way to deliver well above quality experiences. He is knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He is humorous and kind and always delivers his best.
The long drive from Drackensburg mountains to St Lucia, via Battlefields is too long and should take place over two days.
Mlilwane camp is a bit inauthentic.

The Southern Africa Safari trip was incredible! was an amazing tour guide with so much knowledge about South Africa and its surrounding countries. was also a great TM in Namibia. I had the time of my life on this trip and I wish I could do it all over again! It has got me so excited to go back to Africa and do more exploring of these beautiful countries.

We saw a T-shirt in Africa that said “it’s not a holiday, it’s an adventure!“ This sums up exactly what this trip is about. Although it took some stamina to camp the entire time and the bus trips were long to get from destination to destination, this was an adventure like no other. Spinning, two nights roughing it in Okavango Delta was magical and we heard lions roaring at night. Our guides were outstanding and the food was better than I could possibly expect, especially since our cook did it all in a campground the safari walks and drives did not disappoint!
Because we were there in July, the nights were bitterly cold, but we stayed cozy in the tents. This is definitely a trip for those seeking authentic adventure, but not for those who are uncomfortable with idea of sleeping in a tent for 10 days. Our Guide Pappy was, always so patient and so thorough with all of us and was a wealth of knowledge about the region. I love this trip, but it definitely is not for those unused to roughing it or are expecting luxury.

1) Airport pick up from Mount Kilimanjaro airport to moshi: excellent and on time. Eli is a safe driver.
2) 7day Lemosho route: guide, Good Luck, was professional and caring. Helped checked luggage pre-trek to ensure I have all equipment and clothing, potential risk assessment for the hike. Most importantly he helped me to reach the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro successfully despite being 4 hours later than everyone due to my slow speed.
3) Team: one guide, one chef, (Amos), one waiter (David). These were the main people who spoke to me. Great English. 4 porters who helped me as I was walking like a snail and had some slight toe injuries. Full team was very attentive to my needs and preferences of food, comfort level, questions about anything about Mount Kilimanjaro. Very friendly and patient crew.

I really enjoyed the locations. Especially the Roman ruins and the villages we stayed in. It was a really great cultural experience.
