Wilderness of Southern Africa: Safari by Land & Water

From seeing every animal imaginabe up close including penguins to great food and fun- we loved it all.

All of it. Well rounded trip. We so many animals & close up. Tour guide went out of his way to find different animals. Meet indigenous African tribe. Went to cultural events. Meet & ate with locals in their homes. Learned about & tried local foods. Explored the beauty of Africa & so much more.

River safari was misrepresented in terms of content and accommodation

We would give this tour a 5 star review with the exception of our accomodations on the boat for three nights. The boat definitely needed to be retired. The land accomodations were excellent, all the safaris were more than we dreamed, and we were able to do everything we set out to do. Saw all the big 5! Including the elusive leopard! Our guide was way past excellent, the people we met became instant family! Would definitely recommend this trip with Colette.

An amazing tour from start to finish. Our Tour Manager was excellent, all accomodations exceeded expectations and we saw more animals in their natural habitat than I ever imagined. There isn't one thing about this tour that I would change.

THIS was amazing!! I did no research before picking and just knew I had the right group! Samantha made the entire trip feel like home (but with a bunch of wilderness animals). We were educated and pampered, fed like family and saw amazing animals, beauty and family! I have already told so many to go with Collette land and water and ask for Samantha!! The time of year seeing baby animals was such a blessing. I hope to go back in few years.

There were so many great experiences it is hard to single one out. Seeing herds of Hippos and Elephants on the first day, and the shear number of Elephant herds we saw, to having Elephants wander up to drink out of the pool.

More down time would have been appreciated. Wonderful, wonderful tour guide. She made the trip!

Seeing the wildlife , the big five, great tour manager, highlights/wildlife every morning and afternoon.
