    · June 1st, 2025
    Overall great experience. All 3 CEOs were awesome in their own way. Weather in Cape Town limited Table Mountain visibility but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Kruger and Korangwe were beautiful, animals were plentiful and the company was great! Vic Falls visit was short. Suggest adding a day or skipping the 4th game drive in Korangwe for 2 full days in Vic Falls. There is so much to do and see there. One note for Vic Falls would be to communicate the need to bring small US currency with you for tipping. Not even the banks have smaller denominations than $20 US. Great time was had by all.

    Edward

    Asked on June 27th, 2024

    I'd like to do a tour in Rwanda, primarily to see and LEARN about the gorillas, but it seems you have no availability when I will be there. Ideally, I'd like to do something from the 31 July. If this is impossible then I'd could do something en-route back to Canada from South Africa ... from the 14th Aug. Can you help me?

    Tour Details
    • Looking at our dates of availability, it seems the only date that would be close to working with your timeframe is our August 18-25 departure which has one space remaining.
