My wife and I recently returned from amazing tour. We were 3 days on the Zambezi Queen riverboat on the Chobe where elephants were most memorable, coming to the water in large family groups, swimming, and playing, family group after family group. We saw so many water birds, crocs, water and blue skies, and so beautiful sunsets, and the people we met so friendly. Then 3 days in the Okavango delta to a tented camp a bush plane ride away from civilization. Most memorable, following a wild dog hunt that cornered a warthog in a shallow hole, and a miraculous escape of the plucky and fast hog. Also, a lion family feeding for days on an unfortunate water buck kill, and a beautiful sunset mocoro canoe ride among the water lilies and malachite kingfishers. Then the Victoria falls, first viewed from the air, and then up close with rainbow after rainbow after rainbow. And, to a magical island on the Zambezi river for two nights and finally the Kruger for 3 nights. Most memorable, watching for extended time a leopard at a kill, and fascinating game walks with armed tracker and knowledgeable guide. I have 1000's of photos and powerful memories for a lifetime.
The tour was well-organized by Lucy, who was courteous and patient, worked hard to keep costs within budget, was accessible during the tour and helpful in arranging a minor itinerary change while the tour was in progress.
