Well thought out itinerary covering some of the most spectacular attractions these countries offer. Tour guide, Ella, was absolutely brilliant. Some highlights include Soweto, Blue Train, Cape Town, Panorama Route, Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls and Chobe National park. We had cities, scenery and wildlife. Fantastic.
