    We had a very adventurous experience in Kruger park. Our guide Vanso was a special one. I highly recommend this tour and I would say allow an extra day in Victoria Falls and Botswana. I felt like the stay in Victoria falls was not enough. A day longer would be great. Apart from that, I felt very comfortable travelling with my 6year old child.

    I would say this was quite a very authentic experience. As a family, we really liked how Local safaris care about the local communities and how we are part of making a difference in the places we travel in. If you are more into making a difference with your travel plus authentic experiences then this is for you. Highly recommended
