- ABarbara· February 24th, 2023The Eswatini/Kruger half of the trip was all a delight despite the necessary long travel days. St Lucia was particularly good, a lovely town with excellent game drives as well as beach. Kruger also very special. Guide Andrew was also a highlight, one of the best I've had. My highlight of the Cape Town half was climbing Table Mountain, quite tough but spectacular.Show moreTrip date: February 2023Review collected by Explore!
