Luxury African Safari Review: South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Tintswalo Safari Lodge, Manyaleti Game Reserve, Capetown

Our visit to Africa was incredible. 

Highlights of Cape Town:  Visiting the Penguin colony on a rainy afternoon; Traveling to the southern most point of South Africa; the beautiful scenery - majestic mountains and the ocean.  A day tour of wine country and the opportunity to meet some of the estate owners.  The V & A waterfront offered a huge selection of fabulous restaurants along with major shopping mall.  We were thrilled with how reasonable everything was in comparison to the US.

Xakanaxa Camp - Botswana:  Our first safari began here in a tent camp.  The staff and guides treated us like family and so accommodating.  I was concerned about staying in a tent but the attention to detail and design of each tent was just wonderful.  Our guide showed all of the big four and more.  The wetlands and many species of birds was a great surprise. 

Victoria Falls - Zambia:  Again traveling from Botswana to Zambia went smoothly - we were impressed!  We spend a wonderful few days at the Royal Livingston and visited the falls each day. 

Tintswalo Safari Lodge:  Another travel adventure flying in small aircraft to next safari camp.  Tintswalo is truly a delightful lodge.  The staff were engaging and every day there was a surprise awaiting - one evening a romantic dinner for two in the wine cellar; or breakfast served out in the wild one morning after game drive.  We followed a leopard on an evening drive in in quest for an impala for dinner.
