    Reply from: National Geographic Expeditions with G Adventures
    Thanks for taking the time to give such detailed reviews of your time in Africa with us. The comfort of the vehicle and the speed driven are things we shall look into. Our apolagies for any discomfort caused. In regard to the Victoria Falls flights, again, we will review to see if we can offer any additional value as part of this package. On balance, we are so happy to see that things were positive overall. This is a great part of the world, and we are happy to have shared it with you.
