    Honestly, this trip was unforgettable. We got a surprise upgrade to a 5-star lodge — Ivory Tree Lodge — and wow, it was incredible. Beautiful setting, amazing service, and the game drive was everything I hoped for and more. Seeing the Big 5 up close was something I’ll never forget. Everyone we met in Zambia and Zimbabwe and cape town was just so warm and welcoming — it really made us feel at home. Especially our tour guide -Collins One of the highlights for me was visiting a local neighborhood in Cape Town. It wasn’t polished or staged — just real people, real conversations. That kind of genuine connection is rare when you travel, and I’m so grateful for it. Victoria Falls was absolutely stunning. We saw it from both Zimbabwe and Zambia, and while both were amazing, the Zambian side felt a bit more dramatic and immersive to me. Huge shoutout to Delightful Travel for putting everything together so seamlessly. i'll introduce this tour to all my friends. :):):)

    Truly an Unforgettable Trip! This trip was amazing from start to finish. Everyone we met in Zambia and Zimbabwe was so kind and welcoming—it really made the whole experience feel special. The team looking after us was incredibly friendly and made everything easy and enjoyable. One moment that stood out was visiting a local neighborhood in Cape Town. It was such a powerful and authentic experience—we got to connect with local people and see a different side of the city. We were also upgraded to a 5-star stay at Ivory Tree Lodge, which was such a wonderful surprise. The lodge was beautiful, and the Big 5 game drive was absolutely unforgettable. Victoria Falls was breathtaking on both the Zimbabwe and Zambia sides. If I had to choose, I personally found the Zambia side even more impressive. Huge thanks to Delightful Travel for making this all happen. I’ll definitely be recommending this trip to all my friends!
