Most Inspirational Moment
There were so many wonderful moments it's hard to choose, but from a wildlife point of view, watching a leopard stalk its prey, right by our vehicle, is very hard to beat. From a geographical point of view, the Victoria Falls are one of the natural 'Wonders of the World' and lived up to that description. They are awe-inspiring.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Mr Brian, our leader, guide and driver was fabulous. He worked non-stop to ensure we had the best experience possible. He and his team made the holiday for us. His ability to get our vehicle in the right place at the right time, to get the best views of the wildlife, was beyond belief. He has such a deep knowledge and love of his country and the animals that is totally infectious and inspired us. He gave thorough briefings each evening and before each drive, and gently guided us, making sure we were up in time to see as much wildlife as possible.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Depending on the time of year you go, this holiday may be very hot and dusty. Everyone in our party decided it was pointless to put clean cloths on each day, so you won't need as many cloths as you think. There are opportunities to get cloths laundered during the two weeks at Victoria Falls and Maun. The water is definitely safe, so take a water bottle you can refill. You'll find you drink a lot of water. Take layers of cloths for night time. We were never cold in 1-2 season sleeping bags at the end of September, but in June-August you might want extra layers. You do need to be reasonably mobile to climb into the back two rows of the vehicle. Bring a scarf to cover your mouth as the drives are very dusty at times.
