Uganda, Botswana, Zimbabwe Anniversary Vacation Review:...

What an incredible experience! Everything was so well organized by Zicasso's tour company, from the moment we stepped off the plane in Johannesburg to the time we got back on to head home in Entebbe. We were treated so well by all the support staff hired to help our trip move along seamlessly. All of our experiences were phenomenal and even more amazing than hoped for. We had excellent in-country assistance, lodge staff and other guides, wonderful accommodations, amazing safaris, and delicious food.

We traveled with the help of Zicasso's tour specialist. She was available for us throughout and prepared us very well on what to expect. Our accommodations, our guides, and our cultural experiences were all excellent! She even had a surprise birthday dinner set up for me on our last night there. For us, this was the trip of a lifetime and we would highly recommend her!
