    Pre trip information was poor, we had no idea what was included and what wasn't. However on arrival in Joburg we were unexpectedly met at the airport. Our tour director, in South Africa,Nanette was amazing, Her knowledge, organisation and ability to squeeze everything in was faultless. Where we had problems due to food allergies, she battled tirelessly on our behalf. Lynne and I were blown away. Our tour director in Zimbabwe, Brighton was also exceptional and consistently went above and beyond for us, organising appropriate excursions, meal reservations and more.

    Generally the tour was well organized. We had a great time on our first trip to South Africa! On feedback, I would encourage Cosmos to give guests more specific communication and guidance on checkin.

    Bheki was everything you could want in a tour guide - insightful, intelligent, funny and very warm with all the guests. Kruger gate and Kruger Park are just such unique experiences that words aren't sufficient.

    I really enjoyed the trip, the intenerary, and the guides.The only downside was that our tour director didn't travel to Zimbabwe with us and was unresponsive when we ran into some trouble with an excursion. She should have been with us for the whole trip.
