Victoria Falls to Table Mountain - 20 days

30-Sep-2024

1, The Guide (Collen) was excellent. Great knowledge of animals and birds, sense of humour, patient, A real asset to the trip 2, The vehicle was just adequate. No air con when the temp was very hot. Hard suspension lead to some uncomfortable moments bouncing around on the bumpy roads. Positive was the two fridges. Rattling windows. Door lock broke. Enough space for day bags. 3. Itinerary was good, saw lots of magnificent things. 4, Food average, breakfasts good on the whole. Dinners variable, generally very good with choice. 5 Accommodation was good. Nice staff, nice places. A couple nearer villages where we could go out to eat would have been nicer, 6 The tour was very good except for actually seeing African villages . people. culture etc Great for geography/ flora and fauna. Beautiful. . :Long drives which were tiring but always something great to see after the drive.
