May 18 - May 29, 2025
We had the most amazing trip to Africa , Zimbabwe and Botswana because of the expertise , care and knowledge from Anna Marie. From the beginning of our communications she understood our goals , budget and desires and arranged for us the perfect trip .
tour guide , driver and transfer was on time , friendly and knowledgeable . All the hotels and lodges exceeded our expectations and were outstanding .
Anna Marie arranged a special wine tasting for us and then joined us which was a highlight to meet her after communicating for over 6 months . She is amazing and continued to check in with me during the 11 day trip to ensure everything went perfectly ( which it did)
We also really enjoyed Rochelle our guide for the wine tasting day who managed to fit in for us. 4 special wineries and lunch on a very rainy day .
We saw the Big 5 at our first lodge in Sabi Sands Umkumbe Safari Lodge including 3 leopards many rhinos , lioness , elephant and buffalo herd right outside our room on the river . In Chobe at Ngoma Lodge the abundance of animals we saw
herds of buffalo ,giraffe ,zebra , hippos, wild dogs , cheetah , impalas, kudos , elephants and more elephants and many others was astounding and breathtaking watching them interact .
We will return to South Africa . The people are so nice , kind and special .
My husband and I agree our favorite trip ever and we look forward to planning our next trip with Kim Kim.
Thank you Anna-Marie !
