Luxury Small Group Safari - Timbavati, Vic Falls & Chobe

THE ELEPHANT SAFARI WAS A THRILL!

llze,

What a lovely trip you planned for us. Everything worked out perfectly. We enjoyed each of the areas and the animals that we were able to see. The transfers were on time and smooth. Guides were pleasant and very knowledgeable.

The African Rock Hotel in Johannesburg was lovely, the staff was friendly and food was amazing. What a nice way to be welcomed on our journey.

Simbavati was a great area with an amazing driver, Moshi. I would recommend him to anyone and the hot water bottles for the morning game drive were terrific. We were did have an additional fee for the game park at this lodge that was not included so that was a surprise. It was not much per person.

The accommodations at Umkumbe Safari Lodge were very nice; however we didn’t have hot water there and the food was the least favorite of any of our lodge experiences. We did have an extremely knowledgeable guide there.

Victoria Falls are breath taking and the scheduled activities you selected were perfect. You do get wet there! The elephant safari was a thrill. (Zambezi Sun Hotel)

Our final lodge was Chobe Safari Lodge where there are two very special people. Rejoice in activities and Tony the game driver. Rejoice is nothing short of perfection, she is the essence of hospitality and made planning our activities effortless. She made everything perfect. Tony was our game driver the first day, we enjoyed him so much that we went on two more drives with him and were able to arrange to have him take some clothing that we were not taking back to the US to a church for distribution amongst the people who needed it in the village.

Everyone in the group thought you did an exceptional job with the planning of our trip. It will be memorable for years.

George

With an elephant population numbering close to 30 000, nowhere else in Africa has more of the iconic animal and you are all but guaranteed some amazing elephant sightings. Chobe is also the scene of the annual zebra migration - a truly moving spectacle to witness - which brings the whole park to life. Nearby to both the Okavango Delta and Victoria Falls, a visit to Chobe National Park works well when combined with the two and is sure to provide a truly memorable safari experience.

Originally a small mining town formed at the beginning of South Africa’s gold rush in the 1800’s, Johannesburg is now the economic powerhouse of Africa. Known as the gateway to Africa, the City of Gold buzzes with an exciting entrepreneurial spirit and energy and is currently undergoing something of a cultural renaissance. With inner-city rejuvenation projects thriving, both the center of town and the outlying suburbs have become safe havens of art, fashion, food, architecture, commerce and entertainment. From shopping malls and art galleries to museum tours and hiking trails, Joburg has got it and then some.

Named after the British Monarch of the time by famed explorer Sir David Livingstone, Victoria Falls is one of the best-known natural attractions on the planet. The town of Victoria Falls is known as the adventure capital of Africa and enthralls adrenaline junkies with activities like bungee jumping, white water rafting and river boarding on offer. Local pubs and restaurants are always abuzz and there are plenty of great curio markets to get that special someone a special something. Regular guided walks around the falls provide some fascinating insight and convey the real sense of pride that locals have for ‘The Smoke that Thunders’.

The landlocked Southern African country of Botswana is fast becoming one of the most sought after destinations in the world. With attractions such as the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, the Makgadigadi Salt Pans and Savute National Park, visitors to Botswana can enjoy some of the best game viewing in Africa. With lodges that are traditionally small and intimate, guests enjoy unrivalled luxury in a setting that is both environmentally sustainable and wholly immersive. Whether you’re on a romantic African honeymoon or a multi-generational family trip, Botswana offers the chance to experience Africa at its most beautiful.

The landlocked Southern African country of Zimbabwe has been in the news for all the wrong reasons of late but, while we do not condone the current political climate, the fact remains that it is a perfectly safe and viable option for tourists, with a wide range of natural attractions. From the thundering smoke of the majestic Victoria Falls – a wonder of the natural world - and the game rich plains of the Hwange and Mana Pools National Parks to sunset houseboat cruises on Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe offers great value and a friendly, welcoming smile.

Nicknamed ‘The Rainbow Nation’ for its ethnic diversity, the country with 11 official languages seemingly has nearly as many mother tongues as it does ecological zones. With developed cities, two oceans, mountain ranges, savannas, deserts and forests all within its borders, it really is the world in one country. Highlights include the famous Kruger National Park, the picturesque Garden Route, Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town, The Drakensberg Mountain Range and the City of Gold, Johannesburg. With golden beaches, abundant wildlife and everything in-between, South Africa is the perfect African safari destination.
