My husband and I just completed a wonderful 16 day trip to Zimbabwe and South Africa starting in Victoria Falls and traveling by train to South Africa. Our agent Lucy did an exceptional job by putting together an activity filled itinerary experiencing some of the best of both regions. Always very responsive before and during our trip. Very nice quality accommodations during the self drive portion on the Garden Route, exceptional local guides, professional hotel staff. All in all an unforgettable experience!

Some of our highlights :
- The Victoria Waterfalls. Stunning!
- The Rovos Rail. What an indulgence!
- Through the Eye of an Elephant. Being so close to these gentle giants was an amazing experience.
- Cape Town, Robben Island and Table Mountain
- Cape Peninsula
- The Garden Route. Stunning vistas.
- Featherbed Eco Experience
- Tsitsikamma National Park
- Full day wine tour experience in Franschhoek.

This was our first trip to South Africa and we could never have imagined it to be so wonderful. We would definitely use KimKim again on our next trip.
