Memorable parts?
Every day was a different wonder but the two days wild camping at the Okavanga
Delta were really special.

Excellent. (more)christina monson

beautiful animals. In Kruger a pack of very young Hyena were out of the den playing in daylight close to the road. Spray off Victoria Falls from both
Zimbabwe and Zambia side... (more)Vince Williams
