Africa Safari Review: South Africa, Zambia, Victoria Falls

The most enjoyable moments was being able to be so close to the animals, in a safe environment, but still feel like we had been part of "the bush" our whole lives.  It really was crucial to use a travel agency that knew so much about the country so that we got the most out of it.  For example, we probably wouldn't have booked at a private reserve since they cost more, but our agency insisted and it made all the difference.  Not only do those private reserves do so much more for the animals, they make it much easier to see the "big 5" since the animals actually live in a safe place and just be natural instead of also worrying about poachers.
