Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip to Africa in December was absolutely incredible. Going on safari and seeing Cape Town have been on our bucket list for a long time, and our safari travel specialist did an incredible job of making that dream trip an amazing reality. Through multiple conversations with this travel specialist, she was able to design a trip for my husband and I that incorporated all the elements we had asked for -- safari, seeing Victoria Falls, exploring Cape Town -- along with so many special details and ideas that made the trip better than we could have imagined. Every last detail of the trip was impeccably planned and thoroughly communicated with me (and I have a very high bar for detailed communications). Would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in exploring Africa!

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

Our 4 day safari at Tanda Tula in South Africa's Timbavati was hands down the highlight of our trip. The intimate luxurious camp and its knowledgeable and friendly team made our safari experience so memorable. Our safari guide and our tracker worked tirelessly to find us the Big 5 and were happy to answer our countless questions about the animals that we saw. Being surrounded by a giant herd of elephants as they left the watering hole, searching for and finding a leopard as she climbed into a tree, and getting on foot to track a rhino into the bush were just a few of the many amazing highlights of our safari.
We also really enjoyed our stay at Victoria Falls. Rafting the Zambezi River, ziplining across the gorge in Zimbabwe, and being brave enough to get in the Devils Pool made our three days at the Falls exciting and very memorable.
Cape Town was a wonderful end to our 2 week trip. Our guide was definitely a highlight and we could not imagine seeing Cape Town without him. Our guide took us to the Cape of Good Hope, to the top of Table Mountain, to wine country, and to the township that he grew up in. His openness in sharing about the history of South Africa and his knowledge of the region made our four days in Cape Town ones we will never forget.

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

After spending 4 nights at a safari camp in South Africa, we probably did not need the additional one-day safari excursion from Victoria Falls to Botswana (though it was nice to see the difference in landscape and therefore the animals that lived there). The other people on that excursion had not done any additional safari so for them it was really exciting, but for us, it could not compare to the amazing time we had at Tanda Tula.
As part of our wine tour, we stopped for an hour to wander around Stellenbosch, which we absolutely loved! If we go back, we would absolutely want to stay overnight in that cute town and enjoy the restaurants and shops!
