Review: Solo Africa Safari, Zimbabwe, Zambia, & Botswana, Victoria Falls

This safari travel agency does a very good job of providing information prior to the trip.  My only complaint would be the size of the duffle having to be 24 x 10 x 11.  The other people on my trip had larger bags and there was no problem getting them on the planes.  One couple said their company never even gave them the size of a bag.  They had Eagle Creek bags with wheels and when I checked the smallest bag is 30 inches.  The gentlemen from London had a Patagonia bag which was bigger than mine.  I managed in my small bag but just a few inches more would have made it easier to pack.  I told my agent I was met at the Johannesburg Airport when I arrived.  The gentleman was not from the travel agency but he said someone from agency would meet me at either the Hotel or the Airport the next morning.  No one showed.  I found my own way the S. African Airlines with the help of a young man who helped me get my boarding pass and stayed with me until I got in line to check my luggage.  I thanked him with a tip.

The trip was fantastic.  I added on Zimbabwe for 2 nights and after went to Zambia for 1 night and Botswana for 9 nights.  The tents were very nice.  Large King size beds.  Saw more leopards than I have ever seen before.   Wish I had more time in Zambia.  I saw the painted wild dogs which I have never seen before and a black mamba snake.  All and all I had a wonderful time and took lots of photos.
