Andrea   -  Traveled, July 2024

This tour itinerary was very inclusive and provided many great experiences However the accommodation for Etosha was misleading as the accommodation is noted as Hotel accommodation but actually involves camping in a tent. We did not carry camping gear as we believed we had 2 days of camping in namibia and one night in the delta and had to purchase blankets This requires amendment on the tour radar website. We also did the Masai Mara tour which is incorrectly described as 5 days in the detailed itinerary and had to cut short one day as we had to booked to return home on the 5 th when the tour ended on the 6th day. Would appreciate a response from tour radar

This tour was exceptional! We got to see and experience so much! Cape Town was great we opted for the wine tour and that was fantastic! Kruger was great but I enjoyed the rhino trekking much more! Victoria falls book the extra day and do the helicopter and Zambezi dinner cruise luxury version! Francisca was our guide and she was exceptional, she helped us learn and fall in love with South Africa and Zimbabwe!
