African Adventure of a Lifetime!
At first we thought the cost was somewhat excessive but it was well worth every cent!
Our journey of 18 days, including Cape Town, Victoria Falls & 4 game reserves, required a lot of coordination and it was seamless from start to finish.
We experienced great food, service and lodgings and spectacular land & water game safaris .
Our outstanding guides & trackers ensured we viewed, at close quarters, all the BIG FIVE & much, much more.
