Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip with this travel company was incredibly well managed. Our agent made the planning easy and the extra touches of having someone meet us at the airport and high end guided tours in Cape Town were valuable. The level of accommodations matched our needs and the itinerary was appropriate. Given we provided very broad direction, she did a great job meeting our travel needs.

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

The highlight of the trip was Notten's Bush camp. The difference in quality and attention was notable. They are family owned and most of the guides and staff have been there for 10 years or more. The other locations felt more commercial and had high turn in staff. Also, being on a private reserve made a huge difference in our access to wildlife. It was an amazing experience.

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

Only small adjustments...one more day in wine country to get some R&R. Would likely not go to Chobe as it was over crowded and difficult to see animals. If something was seen, you had to wait in a crowd of jeeps to get your brief turn. A huge difference versus Notten's and Xaxanaka. Also, the Chobe Game Lodge is feeling a bit old and frayed. Still nice but not worth the time or money.
