Travel Review: Africa Family Safari, South Africa, Botswana, Okavango Delta, Cape Town

I received the names of four different companies from Zicasso to work with on our African safari.  While I think they all would have worked fine, I eventually settled on this agent and her company.  We had never been to Africa before but we did have some specific ideas about what we wanted (some time in Cape Town) and didn't want (a lot of hopping from one place to another).  She helped us narrow things down and had a lot of personal knowledge about the different lodges, etc.  The most important thing to me is she did not try to have us just do "what everyone else does".

We eventually set up an itinerary that put us in Botswana at Shinde Tent Camp for five days and the Cape Town for four.  Then she went about putting all the pieces together.  The air, hotels, transfers all fit together seamlessly and our nearly two weeks in southern Africa was spectacular. The trip went off flawlessly, which says a lot in itself.

Finally, the "Rejuvenation Package" that our travel agency provided us at the end was unexpected and quite a cherry on top! Getting home relatively relaxed and refreshed was just too good to be true!
