Staff Favorite
"I recently returned from the “Best of Cape Town and Botswana” trip and highly recommend it. I got to explore Cape Town’s scenic beauty and culture, the Okavango Delta’s spectacular landscape and wealth of wildlife and the Chobe National Park where hippos wallow and elephants come to play. The wildlife viewing was extraordinary, even to the point where, on separate occasions, both a lion and a leopard sauntered over to enjoy the shade under our vehicle. The 30-minute scenic helicopter ride over the Okavango Delta was the highlight for me."
