Ok if open dated because it will be given as a gift to my husband?

When booking, you are booking a certain date as these have travellers on and can sell out, but you can change the date outside of 30 days of the start date, based on availability.

Do you have cancellation lists?

Are you referring to a waitlist to get onto a sold out trip if someone cancels? If so, yes we do have waitlist capabilities but Tour Radar is not equipped to accommodate that.

Excellent guide, itinerary and bus.
Stephen5.0•June 2025
Overall great experience. All 3 CEOs were awesome in their own way. Weather in Cape Town limited Table Mountain...
Overall great experience. All 3 CEOs were awesome in their own way. Weather in Cape Town limited Table Mountain visibility but we still thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Kruger and Korangwe were beautiful, animals were plentiful and the company was great! Vic Falls visit was short. Suggest adding a day or skipping the 4th game drive in Korangwe for 2 full days in Vic Falls. There is so much to do and see there. One note for Vic Falls would be to communicate the need to bring small US currency with you for tipping. Not even the banks have smaller denominations than $20 US. Great time was had by all.Show more

CEO's and everyone else were great. Tour delivered as advertised.
