Travel Review: Luxury Botswana, South Africa, & Zimbabwe Africa Safari, Cape Town, 19-Day Trip

When we left for Africa, we were excited with high expectations.  The reality is that we were blown away by everything and our expectations were greatly exceeded.  As you promised, it truly was a life-changing experience!
We had an amazing guide in Cape Town. He was aboriginal and gave us a lot of insight into the troubles experienced by Apartheid.  The hotel was lovely and we were treated very well.  The only downside was that the shuttle service proved to be quite unreliable.  Even when we made arrangements to pick us up at a specific time, they did not show, so we had to take a taxi. However, this was a small problem.
The animal sightings were incredible and we could not believe how close we were to the animals.  It was truly exciting!  Every guide was so knowledgeable and we found the whole trip very educational.
We also observed different personality traits in the various animals and were quite entertained at times.  One episode, while at Little Vumbura, was watching 2 females lions who had climbed a tree and were sleeping on the same branch.  The lion furthest from the trunk, decided she wanted down, but the lion closest to the trunk, had no interest in getting down.  Watching the dilemma unfold had us laughing for quite some time. 
While at Little Makalolo, we were siting at the log hide with our guide.  One of the elephants standing quite close to us, decided to give herself a mud bath and we were included in the bath!  That was so comical!  We were more appreciative of the laundry service that day.
All camps were extremely well run and the managers, guides and staff were amazing!  They were so knowledgeable, friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us!
The food was excellent!  Beautifully prepared, lots of variety and absolutely delicious!  Dining on the barge at Duma Tau and under the stars at a few camps were extra special surprises.
The whole experience was unbelievable!  We have done quite a bit of travelling, but this trip shot to the top of the list as our favourite!
Thank you for being patient with us at times prior to the trip, as we peppered you with questions.  Wilderness Safaris was very professional on every level.
Thank you so much to both of you as well as all other people involved in putting our trip together.  We truly appreciate the professionalism that we experienced on every level!
