My friend and I had a wonderful vacation in Africa. Each place was very unique. Victoria Falls was beautiful. We had a fun time and met new friends on the dinner cruise. (Lots of hippos and saw some elephants). Then, in Chobe, we went on another sunset cruise and safari. We saw so many animals at a close distance. We saw hippos, elephants, Cape buffalo, giraffes, zebras, crocodile, wild dogs. We even watched a pride of lions for over an hour. It was magnificent! The Chobe safari was just me, my friend and the driver, so we could spend time in areas where we wanted. Next, we went to Kruger. Here we completed the Big Five and saw Rhinos and leopard! I didn't know what to expect with the panorama viewing day, but it was better than I could have imagined. Such beautiful landscape and waterfalls. We finished our trip in Cape Town. It's mountains and oceans. We enjoyed seeing the penguins at one of the beaches. We even saw ostrich around the Cape of Good Hope area. To top it off, the South African Springbok Rugby team won the World Championship, and we went to the celebration! The accommodations were wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the places our drivers took us to. I even tried ostrich fillets, and they were delicious. I was in communication with Andrew through WhatsApp during the vacation. He checked in many times to make sure everything was going well. Overall, we could not have asked for a better African Experience!

Trip of a lifetime! 5 ? Going on an African Safari is something I have been dreaming about since I was a kid. The days were well laid out and we never felt rushed. Seeing the Elephants, Giraffes, Lion with her kill, Baboons and SO MUCH MORE so close up is something I will never forget. The visit to the village was very eye-opening and humbling. Shout out to our tour guides Fines and Heste and our driver Lucky! You made this experience so much fun and memorable, your passion and pride really resonated. You and the Lochinvar team went above and beyond our expectations. The lack of electricity/internet was something we did not expect but actually added to the adventure. I would not have changed a thing. Thank you for making this a memorable and amazing experience. Ilene Toth
