Our tour was amazing, thanks to our fantastic leader Andrew. Highlights of the trip: Drankensberg Moutains, Hippos in St Lucia and seeing the big 5. Loved the huts and horse riding in Eswitini. Vegetarian options were much better than I expected them to be. Accommodation was great. Lots of travelling but Andrew made the whole 10 days perfect. Thanks again :)
