It was an amazing experience. Everything from booking to accommodation, tour leaders, included activities was top notch. The safaris were wonderful. It was so nice to have everything organized for us. Can?t say enough about CEO, drivers, and general organization. Was a pricey tour but worth every penny, or Rand!

Excellent. Trip of a life time. Very interesting loved to seeing the animals in their natural habitat but the cultural aspect that were the included aspects but also the additional paid excursions. Many of the expert added guides were very very good adding lots to the trip. I especially liked the guide/researcher to the Namibia in the desert who took us for a tour in the desert describing how the flora and fauna survived without rain etc.so very interesting. I also enjoyed the tour in the Botanical Garden in Cape Town, very interesting but too short. The only caution is that if you take this tour, you need to be aware of the long rides, usually necessary due to the isolation of some sites, and lots of early mornings. Always need to be prepared for lots of tipping on a daily basis. Overall, would highly recommend

Never having done a trip like this, I didn?t know what to expect. I worried there would be moments of chaos and wayward members. But the trip far exceeded my expectations. Well organized, great communications, and each day executed as planned.
