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.
