  Worst Ever! This was an extremely high stress vacation! not worth the money spent at all. We had hotels come and ask us for payment, we were advised by them that Timeline Travel payments are being returned as insufficient funds. We had one hotel refuse us check in until payment was made in full, that took a couple of hours to fix. We had to get TourRadar on chat a few times and help get these payments made. We had a safari driver not show up at 530AM because of non payment. We had to fix that ourselves to make the safari. We were not offered any optional trip in Johannesburg on day 2, and there was no wine tour in Cape Town on our last day. The last couple days in Cape Town we had a nice tour guide but this was driving around in his personal car. The tickets for Cable Mountain tour were paid for in my package, which Timeline Travel refused to provide even after sending him a screenshot of paid receipt. The lodge in Chobe was a one star at best. Overall this trip was just stressful, not knowing what was going to happen from day to day, and if we were going to have to pay again for services already paid for. A huge relief when it was over!Show more

  Andrew from the Timeline agency couldn’t provide proper information of the trip on time, which made super stressful time. There would be last minute changes and I would have to be chasing information really a horrible coordination experience. Everything was unknown until I arrived to the place or the tour guide arrived which as an experience is terribleShow more

  Hi Pamela. Thank you for your feedback. We wanted to provide you with the best possible experience according to your expectations, however, we tried where we can. We have learned from this trip that we needed to coordinate your trip in time. We hope you find it in your heart to forgive us.

  We had a great tour, loved the itinerary. So many great experiences including so many animals in the wild. Very unique experience from the lodges to Capetown with most everything being arranged for us. Highly recommend this tour with Timeline travel! We think it was a great value.Show more

  Overall, I was happy with the “what I paid” versus “what I got”. I’d give it a solid 9 out of 10. We had a really good trip and I am glad I chose this vendor. NB: This is not really a group tour—it’s more like a package deal with a travel agent. So, you won’t have the same guide through out. But you also don’t have the hassle of traveling with 30-40 people at a time. I’m kind of an anxious traveler (you know the kind—I map out things in advance, print my tickets and itineraries in advance, read all the hotel reviews). So, when we got started I was very concerned that I didn’t have things like confirmation numbers or exact schedules. However, after a few days I realized this just seems to be how things are done there and I didn’t really need those things. Don’t worry—if you hit a snag (and you will—just little hiccups), Andrew is always available by phone or text. Be aware that currently (Sept 2024) Vic Falls (Zimbabwe) is almost completely a cash economy and they only wanted American dollars. I was unprepared for that. The border guards would not accept a credit card and neither would the Vic Falls national park people. Most other vendors also wanted cash and nobody has change. Bring plenty of $5’s and $1’s unless you want to overpay. Vic Falls was $50 each and border visa is nominally $35 each but in practice the border guard had me hand over my cash and then took what he felt was appropriate.Show more

  My friend and I had a wonderful vacation in Africa. Each place was very unique. Victoria Falls was beautiful. We had a fun time and met new friends on the dinner cruise. (Lots of hippos and saw some elephants). Then, in Chobe, we went on another sunset cruise and safari. We saw so many animals at a close distance. We saw hippos, elephants, Cape buffalo, giraffes, zebras, crocodile, wild dogs. We even watched a pride of lions for over an hour. It was magnificent! The Chobe safari was just me, my friend and the driver, so we could spend time in areas where we wanted. Next, we went to Kruger. Here we completed the Big Five and saw Rhinos and leopard! I didn't know what to expect with the panorama viewing day, but it was better than I could have imagined. Such beautiful landscape and waterfalls. We finished our trip in Cape Town. It's mountains and oceans. We enjoyed seeing the penguins at one of the beaches. We even saw ostrich around the Cape of Good Hope area. To top it off, the South African Springbok Rugby team won the World Championship, and we went to the celebration! The accommodations were wonderful. We enjoyed the food and the places our drivers took us to. I even tried ostrich fillets, and they were delicious. I was in communication with Andrew through WhatsApp during the vacation. He checked in many times to make sure everything was going well. Overall, we could not have asked for a better African Experience!Show more

  We are very pleased to hear great feedback from you, you have chosen a great tour where you can explore multiple destinations in one tour, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. I hear you guys were lucky to have been in Cape Town when the Springboks were parading the World Trophy, that was incredible to join the celebration. I trust your journey back home was a great one. Thanks!
