Memorable parts?
Every day was a different wonder but the two days wild camping at the Okavanga
Delta were really special.
Tips?
Be prepared for very early starts and not much relaxing times.
Local benefits?
Yes, local guides were used in a number of locations but obviously driving such
long distances is not exactly environmentally friendly.
Overall rating?
Excellent. (more)christina monson

Everything! It was an amazing trip with a wonderful creation. We were well taken care of, spoiled in fact. An amazing journey to be able to discover a little bit of these four countries. (more)Mylene Henrie
There are very many wonderful bits to the vacation. I particularly enjoyed my time in Lesotho and the town tour there and the township tour in Oudtshoorn. I was very thrilled by the countryside. (more)Christine Ketchen
Excellent... Kruger was the most memorable part. (more)Helen Wightman

Fantastic trip! Pleased we went with the accommodated option. We followed almost the same route as a parallel tour of campers along the trip but we were
glad to have a bit more comfort. (more)Andrew Short
Twanda and Mark as our leaders made this trip fantastic. (more)Angeline C Rubin
Flying over the Okavango Delta and fishing for Tigerfish on the Zambezi River were the most memorable... The one scheduled excursion that stands out to me was visiting the Namibian ranch of Mr. Bushman. He was so knowledgeable about science and natural history. (more)Craig Shafer

US $1,490

The most memorable part of the vacation was...The group on the tour, the guide and driver and the numerous elephants we encountered. Okavango delta experience was awesome.
(more)Orna Flannery
It was all truly wonderful. I was most worried about creature comforts during the primitive stay in the Delta but it was great - no hardship whatsoever. I could never begin to capture how incredible the wildlife viewing is - and it just keeps coming! (more)Janet Stewart
So many fantastic memories. One of the best we have ever been on. (more)John Munroe

US $2,830

Memorable parts?
South Luangwa NP seeing 3 leopards the same day, I really enjoyed the canoe trip on Kafue river.
Tips?
Winter time can be chilly (5-6 C during the night, windy, humid) in Africa, we had to buy extra blankets (it was cheap, PEP the baby shop had excellent ones)
despite the sleeping bag with us. Be prepared to have long and bumpy rides with potholes, music, books etc can come handy. No wifi for days (e.g. Krüger no
wifi at all...)
Local benefits?
N/A
Overall... (more)Gyongyi Dr Valisko

US $2,035

We had a great crew, our vehicle was perfect, the meals where very tasteful! Lets do it again! (more)Babs van Eck
Most memorable moments were the sunset cruise and land safari at Chobe National Park in Botswana. Also camping at Elephant Sands where you can see elephants at a waterhole for hours. (more)Nancy Wiesenfeld
From
£1,769
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The Sand Dunes, the Canyon and the wild animals.
Tips?
Not this one, maybe the one with commodations, hopefully the food will be better! I
don't eat junk food, almost everyday the guide serviced cheap sausage, mincemeat and
burgers; only toward the end of the 20 days, he started to brought meat with bone, or
games meat!
Local benefits?
Yes.
Overall rating?
I gave a two stars. The food was bad, the guide was muted! (more)Lisa Mak
