Tour Review: Africa Safari, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Okavango Delta, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, Robben Island

Exploring Cape Town, the harbor area, restaurants, Cape of Good Hope, riding the funicular up Table Mountain, Boulders the Home of the African penguin...our guide even took us to a private jeweler to look at tanzanite in the BoKaap area.  There wasn’t much blooming at the Botanical Gardens in early September but it was a nice walk.  Wine and beer tastings in beautiful countryside was a hit. Ferry to Robben Island to learn and see about Nelson Mandela’s prison time was interesting.  

In Zimbabwe we went to see Victoria Falls. Impressive and this was the dry season! We especially liked the Victoria Falls lodge where we stayed for two nights. We were surprised to see so many hippos, elephants, and crocodiles on our river cruise and game drive. A much better place to stay than a hotel in Victoria Falls. 

Botswana was the star of our trip. We stayed at three different camps all run by Desert and Delta in Savute, Xugana, and Moremi National Park.  Seeing the Okevango Delta is a must. Guides were fabulous, fun, and made sure we saw lots of wildlife. Very knowledgeable.
