    This was my first experience with Globus. Splendors of South Africa, Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park with guided tour director Wendy Aikinson more than exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the different avenues of communication such as the Globus app, phone access to representatives and printable materials. I mention this as there are all ages traveling and some not as "tech savy" as others. I found staff at Globus from reservations, last minute upcoming trip questions to our on site tour director, always professional, friendly and accessible. The small group allowed for more flexibility. The itinerary was well planned out. Good job Wendy. Good job Globus staff and all the staff at our hotel and lodge stays.

    Thank you for making our 50th wedding anniversary a memorable one. Linda Liebenberg was a great host with all her duties, some issues that were out of her control, and her caring attitude. Recommend that the 14 day tour be at least 16 days adding 1 more day at Victoria Falls and 1 more day in Chobe. The 2 night thing is just too rushed. Loved the accomodations. Really liked our group.

    Everything was great except the airline trip from Cape Town to Victoria Falls. We basically wasted the day in the airport . On of that, the airline ruined my luggage. I can't say enough good things about our guide Linda. She was involved,knowledgeable,meticulous and kind. She went the extra mile for me after the anti malarial meds made me ill. We had some unreasonable persons on the tour who were unkind to her. She handled them with grace. Their complaints were beyond her control.

    I will rate the tour as excellent. Loved the itinerary and our guide Wendy was great. Globus needs to remove the Elephant Valley Lodge from the hotel list. Other than the watering hole, the place is not acceptable.

    The tour was excellent until we arrived at the Elephant Valley Lodge. I was surprised they added this lodge to the hotel selections. Other than the watering hole, the place needs a major face lift.
