I can't begin to say how fantastic our trip was to Africa, Victoria Falls, & Cape Town!
I can't begin to say how fantastic our trip was to Africa, Victoria Falls, & Cape Town.It was beyond my wildest dreams. All of the tour guides were excellent & very informative. We saw the big 5 in 3 hours on the second safari. Too cool. All of the hotels were great & the staff were wonderful. I posted many photos & have heard from many friends that are putting this on their bucket list because of them. The hardest part was the air-travel long but so worth it.....

Everything was organized, safari guides were great, the accommodations were wonderful!
Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful (best trip of my life) package and at such a reasonable price.Everything was so organized, all the guides were there to pick us up and were so much help along the way. All the safari guides were great. The side trips to Lesidei Cultural Village and Cradle of Humankind were really both a great experience. The accommodations were all wonderful. Especially Kuname Lodge. Really appreciate the upgrade to that wonderful Lodge.....

It really was a trip of a lifetime. I would use your services again in a heartbeat!
The trip was fantastic! We knew it would be amazing but it honestly exceeded our expectations. We just want to go back! We were blown away at how seamless everything was. The tour companies in Africa that you use were all great, especially in Zimbabwe. Our favorite parts were the Safaris at Karangwe and all of our time in Victoria Falls/Chobe Park. We always felt safe and taken care of. The people were all so welcoming and friendly! The Kuname Lodge was unreal - the service, the food and of course the game drives. We saw all of the big five (and everything else), we learned a ton from our guide and tracker.....
