Memorable parts?
Seeing all the animals in their natural environments.
Tips?
Be prepared for the gravel roads - can be hard work & take longer than you think.
Local benefits?
Yes. We were given environmentally friendly bags & drinks containers to use to reduce plastic use. Many of the lodges were completed self-sufficient in terms of water & solar powered electricity. Lodge owners were happy to discuss local initiatives to stop poaching and were committed to training & employing... (more)Julie Peterkin

There was something special nearly every day, but for me the most thrilling experience was lying in the tent at night when we were camping in the Okavango Delta listening to elephants feeding round the campsite. (more)Ruth Law
I travel a lot but this is the most memorable, amazing, life changing experience I have ever had. I honestly cannot find a single fault with the way the operator managed this incredible trip. (more)Claire Smart
The 'wild camping in the Okovango was wonderful....two days and two nights of solitude, with only the sounds of the hippos in the water nearby, an unidentified grunt or three, and an almost full moon....superb (more)Susan Zilberstein

£2,220

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 holiday. 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

Amazing!!!! So well-organised and the guides were so professional. Loved the guides and the healthy food. (more)Toni Busby
There were SO many highlights. Possibly the most memorable part was our 2 night stay in the Okavango Delta. A short but amazing helicopter flight over the delta (optional, at extra cost) gave us the perfect overview before our mekoro (poled canoe) journey to the island, where the so-called basic facilities proved quite reasonable. (more)Liz Milway
The most memorable part of the holiday was being in direct contact with nature and wildlife, amazing skies, great sightings, relaxed atmosphere, very knowledgeable guides, excellent food prepared by our guide (more)Raphael Renaudeau

The most memorable part of the holiday was going through Botswana. (more)Katherine Lewis
Elephants by my tent - just seeing all the animals. Himba and Herera tribes - and seeing the town where they all interact were the most memorable parts of the holiday. (more)Shona Thomson

£1,222

Memorable parts?
In Chobe, watching a leopard up in a tree wrestle with his day-old kudu kill.
Pulling it through big branches, almost dropping it. Then, it crawled down the tree trunk, walked right by our truck, then plopped down in front of us for a rest. Once in a lifetime experience!
Tips?
Don’t go to Africa with just your cellphone camera! Silliest mistake we’ve ever made. We saw Big 5, cheetahs w 3 cubs, black rhino, etc. All just blurs when enlarged on iPhone. Very frustrating.... (more)Cheryle Besemer

£2,245
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Flying over Victoria falls on a microlite. This is a paid extra but worth every penny.
Tips?
1)Mid-day cruise on the Zambezi at Livingstone waterfront passes along beside the game reserve. We got our best shots of hippos and elephants on this cruise.
2)You've spent a lot of money to get here. So you probably cant afford to do every extra. But if you get the chance to do something you really want to do, DO IT. We flew over Vic Falls on a Microlite. Not cheap but it... (more)Richard Paradine

Memorable parts?
The Serengeti and Zanzibar. The animals in the wild life reserves were in abundance and Zanzibar is an interesting place with such a chequered history. The beaches in the north are lovely and the snorkeling near Prison Island fantastic.
Tips?
Take enough DET and new US dollars and don't expect to have much internet access. Also take a comfortable bed - either a thickish air matress or a camp bed as it's not that comfortable sleeping so close to the ground for that... (more)Stephanie Foster
From
£845

Memorable parts?
The visits to the national parks - the wild life and the birds
Tips?
More suited to younger people
Winter months - bring lots of warm clothes
$ and SAR are all you need in currency

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...)

Memorable parts?
The safari where we saw so many animals close up; especially Ngorongoro Crater which was spectacular.
Tips?
To take warm clothes for NgoroNgoro as it is really cold at night plus respectful
clothing for the ferry trips to & from Zanzibar & the Stone Town Day due to rural Moslem traditions.
Local benefits?
I am hoping that we supported local people by visiting a government owned spice plantation rather than a private one & through the employment
of local... (more)Helen Bligh
