An amazing trip! You need to be prepared for long drives and early mornings but in return you see some beautiful country and spectacular animals. Loved it.

Problems with the Visa better to pay at gate. Our tour guide said it is better to do that as well.

Safari game drives in different eco systems, from the Chobe River, Botswana to Pilanesburg NP, South Africa.

Uriel was amazingly good and helpful! Cape Town was too long especially after all of the wonderful game drives. One hotel in Cape Town 2 nights, then end the tour would have been better. Cape Town was not safe as told to us by all hotels. The Harbour area was nice but just a big city. Overall the tour was wonderful! The Wallow and Ivory Tree experiences were the best. Cresta Mowana - skip it. I would recommend this trip IF shorter time in Cape Town.

The African Wildlife Explorer Cape Town to Victoria Falls trip is an exciting adventure and excellent value! While there are some long driving days, this is what allows for the ability to see so much beautiful scenery and wonderful wildlife. Our guide, Misheck, was very knowledgeable and an excellent driver, and did a good job of keeping the group together and on time during the many activity-filled days. All of the resorts were very nice, and some absolutely wonderful, as was the food. We saw loads of wildlife, beautiful scenery and fascinating scenes of daily life of the local people. Highly recommended!

Lower your expectations if you have been on previous tours. The tour director situation is very different and left me disappointed compared to other tours I have been on.
