2 Cape Town | 3 nights Okavango Delta | 3 nights Chobe River | 2 nights Victoria Falls | 3 nights Rovos Rail | 1 night Pretoria
Dear Kerry
Thank you so very much for arranging a wonderful tour last month. Edgar and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our African Safari trip and really did feel like travel connoisseurs from the very start until we left. To choose a single highlight would not do the entire holiday justice. We loved Cape Town and the cable car trip up Table Mountain was spectacular. The Cape wines and cheeses were top class.
The Okavango Delta lived up to our expectations and Shinde camp exceeded them. The game viewing in this area was fantastic and the sunsets will be remembered forever.
The Zambezi Queen was a stunning cruise and the staff made us all feel so special. Victoria falls was as dramatic as you said it would be and the helicopter trip you suggested ended being an absolute high light. The train trip to Pretoria was amazing. It felt as if Edgar and I were travelling back in time, in a very glamorous fashion I may add.
Thank you for all you efforts in planning our holiday for us. Your suggestions were invaluable and we are so happy that we contacted you. We knew what we were looking for but did not know how to find the various experiences. You certainly interpreted our dream trip perfectly.
Thank you ever so much and we look forward to speaking to you when we return to Africa.

Go for an afternoon walk with an armed guide for a completely different experience of the African Bushveld.
Opt for an afternoon on the riverboat as your guide takes you into the various channels looking for animals coming to the waters edge to drink and take in the abundant birdlife of the area. Another activity you can do directly from the camp is a Mokoro (dug out canoe) excursion with a tracker that can often get you very close to the game.
