This is by far the best trip of my life!
The trip was amazing! I want to thank you for putting everything together.We had someone with us every step of the way, insuring we got from one location to the next without any issues. This was very comforting.
The hotels we stayed at were all very nice and the staff was always so generous to help us. We were sad to leave.
This is by far the best trip of my life.....

The Africa trip was outstanding and way beyond my expectations!
The Africa trip (South Africa, Victoria Falls & Chobe) was outstanding - way beyond my expectations.Saw (and photographed) the "Big Five", and Victoria Falls was spectacular - especially from the helicopter.
Travel, food and lodging were excellent!.....
