Cape to Vic Falls CampingChris Kasper, USA & Wright Fiona, Ireland

This tour exceeded all my expectations. I booked it immediately after seeing the itinerary, and it turned
out to be the best decision I could have made. Our guides demonstrated exceptional professionalism —
always punctual, driving with great care even during heavy 'cats and dogs' rain, and consistently
checking the quality of the food we were served throughout the trip.
They also thoughtfully prepared informative materials about Africa to keep us engaged during the
journey. I especially appreciated that there were two guides on board; given the long distances we had to
travel on some days, they could alternate driving, which made the trip safer and more comfortable.
Thank you so much for the outstanding service!
