It was so wonderful. Everything was just as I wanted, that is to say being able to spend time observing the wildlife of South Africa in a variety of settings and staying in small lodges and camps. (more)Sue Spencer
Absolutely brilliant. (more)Lesley Tremlett
The most memorable part of the trip was spotting not only the big 5 but seeing rare animals such as white lions, wild dogs and the endangered ground hornbill. There was never one trip out the same and the excitement of seeing so many different animals was amazing.

We had a great combination of time in Capetown, days at the safari game reserve in Kwazulu Natal, time at the Indian Ocean, and then relaxation in Durban before heading home. The whole experience was truly a memorable one. (more)Monica Belan

I loved seeing the seal colony in Kleinsbaai and all of the Shamwari experience.
Tips?
If your safe is too small don’t leave valuables to chance in your room - use the reception safe at your hotel.
Local benefits?
I take great comfort in knowing that the places we stay at through Responsible Travel benefit local people more than other places. The marine tour and safari experience supported conservation, and we made extra donations wherever we went. I don’t... (more)Lucy Rodriguez

There were many memorable moments. Camping in the Okovango Delta was amazing, and the walks around the delta meant that we could get really close to some animals without disturbing them. The sunset cruise on the Chobe River enabled us to see loads of elephants taking baths and they weren't bothered at all by our presence. (more)Tim Gregory
The whole holiday was wonderful especially drive through Namibia with spectacular scenery and its breathtaking landscape. (more)Arvind Sharma

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
From
£1,195

Memorable parts?
The elephant by the side of the road in the wildlife corridor when we stopped to use the 'bush toilet'. The driver had not noticed it behind the solitary tree
before we got out of the vehicle. I would also say the group of people I was with: the other tourists, and our driver and cook. Camping in the Khama Rhino
Sanctuary and the Okavango Delta were amazing because these were the only times we truly were around nature and wildlife when not on a scheduled tour.
Tips?
There... (more)Barbara Bilgre
From
£1,790

Memorable parts?
Hard to say: the animals, the people, the landscapes, so many impressions.... Zimbabwe was very nice, the people friendly, the parks impressive, it was a nice
surprise. The people I met and travelled with were very nice too, as were the guides.
Tips?
Take something to listen to: there are long drives and the roads can be very bumpy, making reading hard.
Local benefits?
To an extent, buying some local goods, and visiting some sights.

Everyday brought new adventures and experiences - Very early morning starts meant we got to see lots of both sunrises and sunsets, sunset cruise in
Zimbabwe brought us up close to wallowing Hippo's and a walking safari got as close to a crash of 7-8 Rhino and then walking in the vicinity of these
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

We managed to see every animal we wanted!
(more)Giuliano D Vigano
I can't pin down one thing as we thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. I guess seeing such fabulous animals in their wild environment was what we went for and we were not disappointed. We saw lion, leopard, white rhino, black rhino, wild dogs; all the more common animals such as giraffe, elephant, zebra, various antelope species and over 100 species of birds. (more)Martin Blow

From
£4,350

Memorable parts?
The game viewing at both safari lodges was excellent thanks to the high quality of the Rangers and Trackers. We have been on a number of safaris before but had not had more than fleeting views of leopards. On this trip we were lucky enough to see a large number of individual leopards at close quarters and for extended periods. We also saw packs of African Wild Dogs on 3 separate
occasions, which we had never been privileged to see before. This was all in addition to many... (more)Tony Bacon

Excellent. Utterly brilliant. If you want QUALITY of experience of game viewing, avoiding the scrum and scramble that happens in some more traditional safaris, then this is definitely for you. (more)Nigel Jordan
