Dream come true! JUST GO!!! WOW. What and absolutely epic trip this was! It really was the trip of a life time, so many amazing opportunities to get super close to all the wildlife. I picked Botswana and Zimbabwe for the fact they have the largest population of African elephants found anywhere, WOW I was not disappointed. Thousands of elephants everywhere I looked, it was an animal lover’s paradise! not only elephants but an abundance of birds, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, giraffe, hippos galore. Impala, buffalo, wildebeest and so much more! The countries themselves were absolutely beautiful and so different in terrain. Some of the most genuine and nicest people I have ever met anywhere! The accommodation was spot on and the food was absolutely delicious.
Swimming in the cool pools of the Okavango Delta It was hot and sticky. But swimming in the Okavango Delta, cruising on the Chobe River, seeing a multitude of birds and hearing hippos in the distance made up for the mild discomfort. We travel to get under a country's skin, experience the culture and local hospitality. Our trip to Matabeleland and visiting Cecil Rhodes' memorial was captivating; there in the wild, silent, rocky countryside, with lizards scurrying around and baboons barking in the distance was inspiring.
A great company from start to finish and I can't wait to start planning my next journey. Undoubtedly the Serengeti trip was by far my highlight, especially the hot air balloon ride. A nice addition to this was also Tarangire - i had never heard of this park before and am aware most tour groups don't go here but it is a superb park and many of us commented that it was one of our favorites due to the abundance of animals and low number of tourists. Canoeing down the Zambezi was unforgettable - a very unique and true adventure moment. Lake Malawi and Zanzibar was also very special.
