Africa Safari Review: South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Kruger & Chobe National Parks, Cape Town, Victoria Falls

There were three major aspects of our trip and all three were outstanding.  Cape Town is a very cosmopolitan town with a great waterfront area with a very special WaterShed craft mall, Aquarium, and splendid restaurants.  Table Mountain, the Cape Point and the wine country were splendid.

From there we flew to Kruger National Park and were met by the lodge representative.  Four days there could not have been more perfect.  We saw all the animals we expected to see, including cheetahs and a very elusive leopard.  Elephants and Rhinos casually walked up the riverbed while we watched from the lodge dining room or our own cabin.

Victoria Falls came next, with a smooth transfer across the border from Zambia (airport) to Zimbabwe (Lodge) and a room with a great view of the National Park.  A day trip to Botswana and the Chobe National Park was equally exciting, giving us a chance to see animals in and along the Chobe River.

Even the weather cooperated and was pleasant and sunny the whole trip - w/ one day of drizzle.  Not bad for the end of the rainy season.
