African Safari Mother/Daughter Vacation Review: South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls

I would stay at the Lodge in Kruger National Park for 5-6 days, then go to Zimbabwe. I would stay at the Lodge again in Victoria Falls --- again, absolutely beautiful property and intimate, and I would do the same activities: sunset cruise, Victoria Falls and the Elephant encounter. I would stay there for about 3 days.
While the staff at Elephant shelter in Hazyview were some of the best services I've ever encountered in my life, I did actually enjoy the overall elephant encounter in Zimbabwe better. While this trip was everything I asked for, I think I did ask for too much within the 11 day timeframe. The four internal flights and constant living out of the suitcase changing locations was A LOT.  It is only for those reasons, I would cut out Hazyview and Kasane, Botswana if I were to do it all over again. Maybe one day later in my lifetime, I can make it back out to the Lodge in Kruger National Park.
