Incredible how beautiful the rooms were

Absolutely wonderful

Great location in Victoria Falls, a house that has been converted to a B&B, with large and comfortable rooms and a great breakfast.

At this lodge we stayed in a luxury tent and really enjoyed it, even when monkeys tried to come into the room. This lodge was a bit bigger than River Rock and the food was buffet style, which worked perfectly as you could choose what and how much you wanted. It also had a deck that overlooked a watering hole so you could watch elephants, zebras, giraffes, baboons, etc.

Great location and the food was amazing. We only wish we could have stayed there a few more days.

The location is fantastic, and we saw all the Big Five as well as many other animals. The accommodations are great, the food delicious, and the guide for the game drives and bush walks was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and knew all the places to find the animals. This lodge is a true gem.

This goes for all our game drives; it is a great experience riding in the landcruisers and becoming one with the bush. You slowly learn how to look for game in the grasses and bushes, and the guide teaches you how to read tracks in the road and on trails. You never know what you will see next or when you will see it, and it is always such a rush when you happen on the rhinos or lions or hippos. Being up early in the morning before the sun comes up, and out in the evening as the sun goes down and the stars fill this sky is just mesmorizing. The game walks take place around noon before lunch, and while you may see some animals you tend to focus on the trees, flowers, bushes, insects. You learn how such items are used on a daily basis for medicine or for food; you never forget when the guide lit some elephant dung on fire and everyone had a whiff of the smoke - very clean and good for your chest if you have a cold!

The boat was great and we really enjoyed the appetizers and drinks. Also there were a lot of wildlife sightings along the river such as hippos, crocs, many varieties birds, etc.

We really enjoyed this tour, and seeing all the waterfalls.

The atmosphere is very warm with eclectic decorations, and the food is amazing.

Same as the previous day, but crocs, lions, Cape buffalo, rhinos, turtles; and we really enjoyed stoping for the morning coffee, the sundowner, and seeing the stars so clearly without any light pollution.

From the first game drive we were amazed. Elephants, rhinos, zebras, hyenas, when we first started the game drive.

Unique, colorful and comfortable. The staff is outstanding and the location in Cape Town is convenient to most everything.

The safari activities with Rhino Walking Safaris in Kruger National Park were incredible. The private concession gave us exclusive access to a large area where we could experience wildlife up close without the crowds. The guides were very knowledgeable and made the experience feel genuine and adventurous. It was not a typical tourist safari but a real immersion with the animals, which I highly recommend.

The Cape Peninsula & Penguins Excursion in Cape Town was a fun experience where we saw loads of penguins. It was quite crowded and touristy, with many people around, so it felt a bit sanitized compared to the more authentic safari experience. However, it was still enjoyable to see the penguins and be part of the tourist activity. It was a nice contrast to the rest of the trip.
