Steph did an amazing job. Coordinating our flights and ground transportation to the safari camps was flawless.
Cape Town was fun. Skip Karibu restaurant. Plenty of much better places nearby
Cape of Good Hope is a must do. Book a private tour. Our 'small group' tour had 23 people on a 23 seat bus. Several were ill and they passed it along. 24 hours of down time.
The foodie tour was unimpressive.
Our hike up Table Mountain was fantastic. Justin Hawthorne is an amazing guide. 10/10.
The Safari camps were great.
We liked Umlani camp in Timbavati: it had the best animal viewing of the trip. The camp itself is just great.
Rhino Post Lodge is amazing. Just a beautiful place and excellent service. Our Guide Wesley was great.
The Vic Falls tour was more crowded than we would have preferred. Batonka Guest Lodge was just great. We would avoid the Boma dinner: very touristy with crowds of people taking selfies. No thanks. Highly recommend the helicopter flight over the falls. We also enjoyed the river cruise upstream of the falls.
Hwange Bush Camp tied with Mana Pools as our favorite places. The Bush Camp is beautifully set overlooking a huge savannah. Sophie and Anthony are great hosts. Our guide Darmesh, was great. We also spent two nights at fly camp. We were the only guests and were treated like royalty. Spent 3 days tracking Black Rhino with two trackers and Darmesh. Walked 25 miles and never found them. Nevertheless an amazing experience out in the bush.
John's Camp/Croton Camp is great. Set near the shore of the Zambezi River, you overlook the flood plane with the mountains of Zambia in the background. Breathtaking. Milo is a wonderful host. We spent one night in the treehouse. What a unique experience.
Overall very happy with the trip.
