Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We took our daughter and her family which included an 11 and 9 yr. old with us on what our daughter called a "magical" trip. We all had the trip of a lifetime. We decided to go with this safari travel planner (recommended by Zicasso) because their agent displayed an understanding of what children needed to experience. Everything was superb from the accommodations to the food to the guides to the staff at the camps to meticulous travel arrangements and when we needed to depart 2 days early due to a death in the family the travel company stepped up to the plate again. We are very impressed.

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

Close encounters with elephants, lions, wildebeest, cape buffalo and watching a life and death struggle between a Tawny Eagle and a Spitting Cobra (the eagle won).

Having a lioness who was exhausted from attempting to make a kill, lie down in the shade of our vehicle, lay her head on our running board and go fast asleep.

Visits to local villages including the Masai.

Coming across 2 young lions feeding on a recently killed baby giraffe before daylight within a mile of our camp.

A birthday celebration including dancing and a song in swahili.

How well the guides perceived what the boys were interested in and focused on that.

The visit to the David Sheldrake Elephant Orphanage.

Visit to Victoria Falls

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

Maybe to have stayed one or two days longer at each of the camps. They were each so unique and wonderful, it felt as though we didn't have enough time at them.
