We had a great tour, loved the itinerary. So many great experiences including so many animals in the wild. Very unique experience from the lodges to Capetown with most everything being arranged for us. Highly recommend this tour with Timeline travel! We think it was a great value.

Overall, I was happy with the “what I paid” versus “what I got”. I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10. We had a really good trip and I am glad I chose this vendor. NB: This is not really a group tour—it’s more like a package deal with a travel agent. So, you won’t have the same guide through out. But you also don’t have the hassle of traveling with 30-40 people at a time. I’m kind of an anxious traveler (you know the kind—I map out things in advance, print my tickets and itineraries in advance, read all the hotel reviews). So, when we got started I was very concerned that I didn’t have things like confirmation numbers or exact schedules. However, after a few days I realized this just seems to be how things are done there and I didn’t really need those things. Don’t worry—if you hit a snag (and you will—just little hiccups), Andrew is always available by phone or text. Be aware that currently (Sept 2024) Vic Falls (Zimbabwe) is almost completely a cash economy and they only wanted American dollars. I was unprepared for that. The border guards would not accept a credit card and neither would the Vic Falls national park people. Most other vendors also wanted cash and nobody has change. Bring plenty of $5’s and $1’s unless you want to overpay. Vic Falls was $50 each and border visa is nominally $35 each but in practice the border guard had me hand over my cash and then took what he felt was appropriate.
