    This tour was the best compared to the other trips available online and only had 5 days of camping compared to others. Although it's action packed it also felt relaxing and you will have an unforgettable experience in each country. We were extremely lucky with our kind and knowledgeable CEO Kirstie and would recommend asking for her if you do this trip! Our highlights were victoria falls in Zimbabwe, the safari cruise in Botswana and camping in the delta (camping was in large tents and you slept in your sleeping bag on stretchers off the floor), hiking the dunes in Namibia and Safari drive in Etosha! We saw lions, rhinos, giraffes, hippos,elephants crocs and many more! The trip requires early starts with a wake up time usually between 5.30-7am, it's not physically demanding apart from if you hike the namibian dunes. There are very long drives around 7-9 hours when you have to cross into Namibia and Cape town. It is best to have USD cash in Zimbabwe but everywhere else it's better to have a travel card. For each place they will take you to an ATM but in some countries it's difficult to find a bureau for exchange. Most breakfasts are included but there's lots of additional costs for lunches (this will mainly be in SPAR supermarkets) and dinner (mainly at the hotels/ lodges) and optional activities mainly in Botswana and Namibia. You'll also need to factor in tipping all your guides, drivers, meals etc into your costs. Overall, this tour was incredible and would highly recommend it to others!
