I love the combination of the Safari drives, but also learning about local people schools, culture, etc. Our tour guide Robert Marks really made this trip super super special. He was very informative, sure we got to see the big 5+ a cheetah and managed the whole trip so it flowed seamlessly.My one recommendation would be to be clear in the Literature about how rough the drives are and maybe even note something about people with any spinal issues might want to reconsider. Several people on our trip had neck and low back issues and they were very uncomfortable for most of the time. But for me, it was the trip of a lifetime. !

It was the best experience I could have asked for and I am so sad to be finished. Thought I would be sick of camping after 3 weeks but wish I continued with the longer trip now. The CEOs were honestly brilliant , Phillip came across as more of a friend than someone who was at work. He honestly made the trip Unbeleivable and is a great chef. He deserves a massive raise cause he literally made the trip. I couldn't imagine how different it would have been if he wasn't there. Nothing was ever an issue and just absolutely best craic !

Overall this was an excellent tour. The Cape Town section was great with a wide variety of sites to visit. The lunch at Penguino in Hermanus was delicious and hilarious. The Cullinan Hotel was very good and we appreciated the visit to the District Six museum - an eye opener. However, the transition to Hoedspruit was poor - we were not given our flight times, the flight was delayed for 5 hours, there was no direct communication with Trafalgar. That was redeemed at the Karongwe game reserve - great game viewing (Big 5 + cheetahs in 2 days) with skilled rangers and simple, comfortable accommodation. The food was good except, surprisingly, the meat was tough. The staff there were very courteous and friendly. The brief visit to Johannesburg was very good: the guided tours to the Old Fort Prison and new Constitutional Court and to Regina Mundi church and other sites in Soweto were really great. As former South Africans, we thought this tour gave all of us an excellent, short overview of the Cape, the Bush and Johannesburg. And we appreciated the personalized attention to detail from Trafalgar s guides.

This trip was the ultimate collection of culture, animals and sightseeing. From metropolitan Cape Town to the beauty and remoteness of Namibia's deserts and sand dunes, the thrill of game drives and the beauty of Victoria falls, this trip has it all.

My experience was amazing and took me out of my comfort zone with the onsite camping in the Okavango Delta. However, the people and the experiences we met along the way surpassed any negatives. One other thing I forgot to mention about our CEO was that it would have been more engaging if he had identified various markers along the way. For example, our taxi drive to WDH airport pointed out landmarks and items of interest on our way to the airport that our guide could maybe have identified to enrich our knowledge.

What an amazing trip. We saw so many different cultures while visiting. Our tour guide was so enthusiastic about his country. His knowledge was unbelievable. So glad I got to share in the beauty of this country. Every where we went was so interesting and I learned so much. Definitely a trip for your bucket list.

I thought after the first day of cycling I was going to hate this trip, but it got much much better. Being on the ground cycling through the dunes or with a random zebra crashing through a fence and bounding across the road in front of you is an amazing experience. Well worth the sometimes challengin cycling.
