Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

What a fantastic trip! It was so well organized and planned, we were able to just relax and enjoy our vacation. It was a one-month journey to Africa, visiting Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. We always felt taken care of.

The safari portion of our trip could not have been more perfect. We were able to see the animals from very near on night drives and bush walks, with very few other jeeps to disturb the environment. The private concessions are an amazing way to truly experience the animals.

We also explored Cape Town on a number of fantastic private tours. We watched the southern right whales off the coast of Hermanus, tasted some delicious wines in the Winelands, explored charming small towns, tried local cuisine, hiked Table Mountain, and so much more.

Our travel team planned the trip to perfection.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Among the highlights was the private concession in Botswana. Our guide was amazing, very knowledgeable, and patient, allowing us to experience a lion kill.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We would avoid the oversold Rovos Rail. The train cars are beautifully restored, but the lack of communication between the kitchen and dining room staff was annoying. Additionally, the lack of maintenance on the track/lines did not make for an enjoyable journey. We did not do any of the advertised excursions. It was as if we were captive. We would not recommend the train to anyone.
