Travel Review: Luxury Africa Safari, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls

The trip was fantastic. The level of service and personalized attention at each location met and exceeded expectation, which is a rare thing. The number of problems or issues was very limited and and no time did anything seem out of control or limit our enjoyment.

One bit of feedback is the information provided was voluminous and very generalized. More specifics would have been appreciated. There is a great deal of information regarding each camp that would have been valuable to know.  For example, Leadswood and Shinde allowed us to put our tips on a credit card and once we let Johannesburg, access to the right currency was limited, causing some anxiety. We had full power at all camps if not all the time, for enough of the day, charging was easy. We hauled a lots of battery backup, burning luggage weight necessarily. The trip to Victiria Falls was a little stressful, because we never felt we knew what was going on. We left at 9am and did not get to camp until 4pm...just in time to drop our stuff and take a boat ride. We were then told we were leaving at 9:30 the next morning for the airport. They set up a private tour of Victoria Falls, which was perfect, but the process of getting to the airport was far more involved than we expected involving a long drive with a border crossing and hand off to another van. Had we know what we were in for, we would have felt better about how our time was spent, as it tuned out we got everything in.

None of this got in our way, but knowing would have simplified things.
