    The Tschukudu bushcamp was really centered around the whole group providing a great opportunity getting to know fellow travelers. The game viewing was great as was the accommodation.

    The tour was made the success it was because of the knowledge and flexibility of the the tour guide. So be prepared to alter plans due to weather and group dynamic. I’d definitely recommend this trip, we had an amazing time and every experience was breathtaking.

    I thought the trip overall was excellent. My son and I have so many lifetime memories as a result of going on this holiday. There was at least one but probably more “wow” moments every day.
