Marvel at the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes, ride a mokoro in the Okavango Delta and more on this 20-day overland adventure with comfortable lodge accommodation. Worldwide Touring20Going to the gaming reserves in Botswana and Namibia and seeing the animals in the wild was spectacular. The accommodation was also very good. One of the optional extras in Namibia was going in the 4x4 wheel drive across the sand dunes and driving along the ocean which was a wonderful experience It was something beyond the tour operator's control but the roads at times were very rough and bumpy and made me feel a bit queezy.

Marvel at the magnificent Sossusvlei dunes, ride a mokoro in the Okavango Delta and more on this 20-day overland adventure with comfortable lodge accommodation. Worldwide Touring20The helicopter in Victoria Falls, the balloon in Swakopmund, Namibia. This whole city and this whole country. Hiking the "Big Daddy" in Namibia. The accommodation in general exceeded my expectations. Too many hours inside the truck without air conditioning and with no two-way radio for communicating with the guide/driver. He knows many data around the itinerary but he lacked sharing his culture, being more human, and explaining about the actual status of racism in SouthAfrica, for instance.

Worldwide Touring20The Ugab Terrace Lodge was wonderful, it would have been nice to have two nights here. I think this tour could be adjusted itinerary wise, some of the days are just too long to be sitting in a truck with no air con. Perhaps finishing in Cape Town but with a two night stop at Highlanders Lodge instead of one night at Kakamas.
Southern Africa Cape to Falls - 20 days SMALL GROUP COMFORT CAMPING: Embark on a momentous overland journey from Cape Town in South Africa to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, taking in the highlights of Namibia and Botswana en route. Admire iconic Table Mountain, enjoy game drives in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Etosha and Chobe National Parks, explore the Okavango Delta and more. Overlanding Adventures20Chobe was the final highlight with the big 5 seen especially the lions. Having said that, the tour can be shorter, even with Botswana and skipping the South African and Namibia part will do. 2. Nice to have a hotel stay bang on day 10, middle of the tour. Also a treat before the most basic night. The breakdown of the truck Cedarwood was a shock to us. Luckily it was not in a remote area and it didn't affect our itinerary much. 2. The tour guide Gift was knowledgable but he should be more enthusiastic in explaining the landscape and using the mic from the front. Quite often we couldn't hear.
Kruger to the Serengeti - 29 daysCAMPING SAFARI: Travel overland from South Africa to Kenya on this 29-day camping safari from Pretoria to Nairobi. Spot iconic wildlife in many of Africa's best national parks, including Kruger, Matobo, South Luangwa, Mikumi, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Visit Livingstone and admire cascading Victoria Falls. Swim in Lake Malawi, pass brooding Mount Kilimanjaro and relax on the tropical shores of Zanzibar island with a 4-day beach break.Overlanding Adventures29The best part of the tour for me was the game drives as seeing and photographing the animals was the part that I was most interested in. The time with the group and tour guides was also a highlight as we had good guides and a good group of people which helped make the trip enjoyable. Long days of travel on roads that were less smooth than generally experienced in New Zealand was not as enjoyable as other parts of the tour.

Worldwide Touring20The whole trip was absolutely wonderful. It fulfilled all my expectations. Colin, the driver/guide was absolutely fantastic and I could not have wished for a better guide. The bus/truck transport needs to be updated as it had no air-conditioning or curtains to block out the hot afternoon sun. It also appeared to have little or no suspension consequently making for a very unpleasant ride in much of the trip and some arm rests were damaged.

Worldwide Touring20The ground operator was Kiboko. The itinerary was excellent, and the accommodation exceeded my expectations. When considering this itinerary, I would do it north bound as the first 3 days from Cape Town north were long driving days. it was cold and raining so these days were not that good. I found the standard of the vehicle wasn't great. There was no heater and it was cold for the first 3 days. (Apparently the Air Conditioning didn't work either, but as we were traveling in Aug, this wasn't an issue). Also the baggage storage units leaked so my bag was wet through one day,
