Safari means journey. This really was an intense journey through Botswana & Zimbabwe. But a journey with the added bonus of sightings along the way, magical birds at the side of the road and on one occasion slowing down the bus to see a bull elephant only to be gobsmacked by a pack of 10 wild-dog just a couple of trees away! Journeys don`t have to be boring; long bus rides are often part of the adventure. On this holiday we had the added bonus of River safari`s and, in the Okavango Delta, Mokoro rides with only the gentle sound of water lapping by your side, damsel flies and giant hawker dragon-flies buzzing around your ears and in the evening a gigantic frog chorus like something from a Fairy-Tale.
Of course Safari is all about the animals but on this holiday I became more aware of the rich variety of people that helped us along the way. Kaiser the leader of the Polers in the Delta, Rowan our Tour Guide, his trusty driver Siwasu and the dozens of others who did their bloody best to give us the holiday of a lifetime.
Amazing adventure through fantastic scenery! I absolutely loved my trip from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. I went on the camping trip and I'm so glad I did, I had only camped in the UK before but I have already booked to go on the Gorillas and Masai Mara trip this year as I loved this one so much!
Travel itinerary met our expectations completely. Chris was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our entire trip. As for the places and experiences we enjoyed the most, there were too many to list.
