South Africa & Zimbabwe Travel Review: Cape Town Food Markets, Robben Island Tour, Franschhoek, Victoria Falls, Local Cuisine

This was certainly one of the best trips of my life! Initially, it was supposed to be a family trip, to celebrate my father’s milestone birthday. After many changes to the itinerary, it ended up being a trip with my best friend, more customized to our preferences. Throughout the numerous emails & phone calls, our travel designer was extremely patient in answering our questions & allowing us to further alter the itinerary. 

From the moment we landed, our trip was seamless. Our personal driver, greeted us at the airport, & gave us great information regarding Cape Town. Our hotel was stunning. A small, boutique hotel; we were regularly greeted by the owners. The entire staff was warm & friendly. Our room was more like an apartment, fit with living room & a kitchenette. We enjoyed going to Table Top Mountain, Walking Tour, Robben Island tour, the Biscuit Mill Market, the farmer’s & food markets at the Waterfront, our private drive along the coast, and eating at a few of the many restaurants in the area: Gold, Canteen, Burger & Lobster, & Bocca. 
Our private wine tour & stay in Franschhoek was short & beautiful. Our stay in Zimbabwe was absolutely perfect! We loved the Victoria Falls Lodge. The staff at the lodge as well at the Tour Group made us feel right at home. We cannot thank our travel designer at this travel agency enough for planning the trip of a lifetime!!
