It was wonderful trip, with professional guides and they choos very nice places, national people were friendly and cheerful.
- 14-day Mozambique and Zimbabwe Explorer (Camping)
Great trip however a lot of time spent traveling on the overlander
- Wild Dogs and Victoria Falls
Unfortunately I only joined for 9 days (Jo'burg to Vic Falls) and I had an amazing time. I would've loved to stay for longer. The group was dynamic, fun, and nice. The tour guide Kanyo and our driver Mugu were very good, doing their work and mixing with the group, keeping track of everything, being there for us when necessary. I was sad to leave!
