The Josloff Family (parents and 3 young adult sons) from outside of Philadelphia traveled to Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa this spring on a completely custom-designed 13-night African adventure. Their itinerary combined two diverse safari experiences with a trip to Victoria Falls and Cape Town. It began with an overnight at a Johanessburg airport hotel followed by a 3-night stay at Machaba Camp in Botswana’s famous Okavango Delta and the game-rich Khwai area. They really enjoyed the upscale tented camp experience and got to explore the waterways by mokoro canoe. The family appreciated their game driver going off-road to locate the wildlife and said that the staff and food at the camp were fantastic. The next two nights were spent on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls, a destination highlight. They stayed at the lovely Ilala Lodge. Their itinerary was chock full of activities including a Sundowner sunset cruise on the Zambezi River; a walking, wet, and immersive tour of the falls; and a helicopter ride over the falls! The ride was smooth with amazing views…a must-do! From the falls, they flew south to Cape Town with a 4-night stay at Blackheath Lodge which is located in the Seapoint, an upscale neighborhood that sits between Signal Hill and the Atlantic Ocean. They said the hotel and its staff were great. Their driver for their two private days tours was terrific as well. One day the family traveled south on a Cape Peninsula Tour that included the Cape of Good Hope and a visit with the penguins at Boulder Beach. Another day was spent on an amazing Winelands Tour to visit the nearby vineyards and taste some of South Africa’s best wines. On their last day in Cape Town, they had planned to climb Table Mountain, but it was too cloudy. They appreciated a day of rest and relaxation! The trip ended with a second safari at Jaci’s Sabi House in the Sabi Sands Reserve near Kruger National Park…a private villa experience with private game drives, a butler, and a chef. A pampering experience. They found the wildlife viewing more limited here and the ride to the camp was so bumpy that they decided to fly back to Johanessburg on their travels back home. But overall, the family said the entire trip was smooth travels and amazing!
