Our travel agents that were in country did a fabulous job, we had many transfers and many flights throughout three different countries and everything was planned and booked to precise excellence. Janneke and Anna Marie did an exceptional job, I could not ask anymore of them. We had the most fabulous trip throughout South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. Thanks again for a wonderful trip.
PS. I would recommend them for any trip into Africa.

Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge

The guide was amazing. She did a fabulous job, the staff at the lodge were very attentive, and the food was good. For being out in the middle of nowhere, there is absolutely nothing that you could want for that they didn’t have. Exceptional job.

This is definitely something worth doing, it’s kind of off the beaten path and takes you in an area. You would never plan on going. But it was great to interact with the local people and see what really is going on. I would highly recommend this.

This was super fun, and the guides were beyond helpful, they catered to all of our needs and made sure everything was safe and in control, they helped in all aspects of the trip. The only thing I would recommend is if you’re going during the winter months make sure you bundle up because it is cold up there and we did not have enough clothing one But again their staff was great

Talking with someone who lives in the village and lives there every day and hearing their perspective on life was really interesting, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get off the beaten path and actually speak to a local and see how the tribes live, it’s very one on one but well worth it

The guide was knowlegable and we stopped at some donut shop and a food market to try some local foods. That was fun, the rest of the tour was just a little dry and was not that exciting.

The tour guide Mark was awesome, he took us right down to the Penguins on the beach and we got to climb over rocks and get up very close to the animals. The trip to the cape was fun and get to have a picture taken to in front of the sign. Over all the tour guide made a great experience

This was ok, if you have seen falls from walking it you dont need to do this, the information you get about the bridge was good.
