Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Would like to rate it 4.8 stars but your program does not allow "partial" stars. 5 Star means beyond perfection to me; difficult to attain but I do believe they were closer to perfect than not. Our safari travel company was exceptional. I do believe our agent planned a perfect trip to Africa for us. She listened carefully to what we wanted to do, our travel preferences, our wants, and planned a very individualized trip to Africa for us. Truly a trip of a lifetime. I asked for a seemless trip in which I did not have to watch the details and no surprises. There were a few glitches along the way but our agent made every effort to make good on all her promises.

The places she chose were all fantastic and the service commendable. The food and the guides exceeded our expectations. We were fed more and waited on more than a luxury cruise ship!

Africa truly is an awesome place with wondrous sights. The experiences we had are endeared into our being now.

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

Victoria Falls was fantastic. I am very glad we did the helicopter excursion because it is difficult to appreciate the size from the ground.

Our jeep safaris were beyond what we could have imagined. Being on a private reserve offered many close up encounters with wildlife which we did not expect. A big thank you to our travel agency for arranging us to stay at Singita lodges. Not going during peak season offered us much more individualized attention, no crowds, and a peacefulness during our stay.

Hands down, going to the Serengeti was the right choice as opposed to the "safer" option of just staying in South Africa. I cannot imagine anything better than the expansive views we witnessed there.

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

I would consider going during the peak season now just to witness the Great Migration. What a natural wonder. I would also like to participate in the Devil's Pool excursion at Victoria Falls when it is not closed.

I would watch the details a little more due to a few details falling through the cracks. I have a better idea what to ask for after experiencing it. I would key into one person to deal with at the company due to slight confusion of who to ask what later in our interactions.

Would I recommend this company to someone else? of course, in a heartbeat!
