Narrative

Here is what Graham and Julie had to say about their trip:

All the Wilderness camps were fantastic with no connecting problems. Meno in the Kalahari was an experience not to be missed. David and his staff  made our time there both informative and fun.

Victoria Falls was a good way to end the trip. The accommodation and service at the Falls was not as good as the rest of the trip although the hippo that joined us for our evening meal was memorable. To appreciate the scale of the Falls it was good to take the helicopter flight because the volume of water flowing made ground viewing difficult.

Much to everyone's amazement I saw a total of 8 leopard at 3 different camps, one even crossing the bridge at Xigera while eating our evening meal!! The only animal that we really missed were the wild dogs of Chitabe but my walk and camp with the lions below our sleeping area more than made up for it.


We will come back when we save some more hard-earned and will do the area from CapeTown up the west coast.
