Travel Review: Africa Safari, South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Kruger National Park

Trip was fabulous from start to finish...the team at this Africa safari travel company--especially our planner did a wonderful job putting together the trip of a lifetime for me, my wife and son..and we enjoyed to the fullest.  They hided us through which countries were the best for both time of year and what we expected to get out of trip...we saw more animal activity than we would have expected in a lifetime.  Only two minor negatives...the time we spent on transfers and in airports was too inefficient ...we spent two whole days on in transit --mostly flying back south through JNB to transfer (sometime  on two more flights)--to our destination..I understand that inter-country travel in Africa is sometimes circuitous but this was slightly beyond tolerable.  And on our last day in Capetown, there was a US Embassy   imminent terrorist warning... we are not nervous travelers, but i did put in a call/email to our travel company's  local contact in Africa for any up dates or advice, and never received any communication (although our agent in Los Angeles--many time zones away--did respond.)
