    We had an amazing trip through Southern Africa. It was great to drive overland as we really got to see the terrain. Camping in the Okavango Delta and at the site in Nambia was great but we could have done without the camping on a gravel driveway in Etosha National Park. Would have been much better to have had an option to pay for a room instead of a tent. A highlight was being IN a field with three Southern White rhinos. We were fortunate also to have seen a lot of wildlife, including seven leopards, three honey badgers, several bat-eared foxes, and a large pride of lions eating their recent kill, and of course, to have been so close to so many elephants. There were additional costs as the jeep safaris cost extra but I think it is the way to go. Border crossings were easy, the hotels were fantastic and our drivers were excellent!

    Top price/performance ratio. Be aware that the routes from A to B are long and there will be some time spent on the bus, as well as that you may be placed on an existing tour group of GAdv.
