    My first time in Africa. I liked the look of the trip but had not especially researched each area and country beforehand. So many unforgettable moments - from getting close to the big animals in places like Chobe, to the sheer expanse of the desert landscapes in Namibia, to the wonderful Canyon Roadhouse in Namib, and the fun with pelicans while ostensibly dolphin watching nr Wallvis Bay. And then some - the beautiful surroundings of Cape Town and 'sweetest' accommodation. The guides got us through some very testing moments - from bus failure nr Rundu, followed by a dash to Etosha, and other serious incidents, in addition to driving us over immense distance >5Kkm, over untarmacced roads, and providing varied meals, mostly after a long days drive and setting up camp.

    A very full trip, lots of travelling but worth every minute. We passed through some stunning scenery, the wildlife encounters were both frequent and memorable and the guide, driver and cook were a credit to your company. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?A night drive in the Etosha NP, parked next to a waterhole and seeing a leopard come down to drink. We were so close and it was so quiet you could hear him lapping up the water!Watching the sun come up from the top of the sand dune in Sossusvlei.Watching two young male lions drinking and resting in the shade.What did you think of your group leader?Johannes was a good leader, everything was planned well but flexible so that if we saw any wildlife it was no trouble to stop and watch. Dealt with the one of our fellow travellers who lost his passport with efficiency and genuine concern.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?As the trip notes say, be prepared for some early starts and long days on the bus.However there are always plenty of stops and the scenery is varied and quite stunning in places. We started in Cape Town and so got the least interesting part of the journey over with first. Once we hit the Orange River things just got better and better.Take the helicopter flight over Victoria Falls, it's the only way to see just how big they are and to get a good view of the falls.Do the night drive in Etosha, there are no other vehicles allowed in the park after dark, so it is just your truck and the animals.Is there anything else you would like to add?I really did not expect to be so excited by the sight of all these wild animals. To have elephant so close you can hear them tearing up the grass, hear leopard lapping up water, have hippo trying to take a chunk out of the boat, watching a group of young elephants rolling about in a mud pool. Absolutely magical! Our driver, cook and guide were all very good at spotting animals and it was never any trouble to stop and stare for a while. Food was very good we had some very enjoyable evenings with a bottle of wine or a beer around the campfire with our fellow travellers.The scenery was varied and quite spectacular. The quantity and variety of animals and birds seen at close quarters on this trip surpassed anything I had been expecting.  Lots of wonderful memories.

    Fantastic holiday - made the more enjoyable by Emma and Alf - our guide and driver who looked after us so well all the time - in spite of some adversities when things went amiss.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?Seeing the big 5 - elephants drinking, bathing and swimming, herds of zebra, giraffes drinking. hippos, rhinos - both black and white, lions, springbox leaping, oryx, kudus, elands, waterbuck, cape buffalo, Goliath herons, various vultures, hyenas, jackals, mongooses, ground and tree squirrels, fish eagles, and  leopards  - never expected to see so much wildlife.The Devils Pot at Victoria Falls and the helicopter ride along the Zambezi Canyon were also highlights as well as the sand-dunes and sunset cruises - so many different highlights.What did you think of your group leader?Emma was superb - she was so knowledgeable about the S African trees, flowers, birds, wildlife and the history of the countries we visited.  She and Alfred prepared wonderful meals - so much fillet steak!!!  They were both very attentive and took the time to talk to everyone at some point during the day. She made border crossings so easy for us and could not be faulted in any way - Emma and Alf made the holiday so much more interesting and enjoyable for all of us.  She had two big birthdays too amongst the 12 of us and both days/evenings were most enjoyable.  The group was great too as everyone got on so well in spite of being confined in the bus for long streches of time.  Emma should be nominated for Tour Leader of the Year.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?Yes - buy all your SA rands commision free in UK  before leaving home.  They can be used in Namibia too so there is then no need to change money in SA or Namibia where the commission is 4-6% (quite outrageous when we are used to commision free exchange).  We changed a little money for Botswana but one could use all currencies - ie rands, and Botswana money, in Zambia so no need ot change anything ((US$ useful too) - easier to pay for trips in Livingstone by credit card as that was the only major expense.Is there anything else you would like to add?Accommodation was excellent on the whole - in a variety of lodges - some with pools and air/con and in wonderful locations and we only a problem with insects on our first night travelling in Citrusval where several people were bitten.  Namibia and Botswana were  fine, though one person was severely bitten on her legs in Livingstone in the evening while dining outside. A superb holiday - just wonderful - made even better by Emma and Alf.

    Wonderful trip, starting gently in Cape Town and building to a climax in Chobe and Victoria Falls. Really glad we chose to do the trip this way round.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?Stopping for lunch in no-mans land whilst crossing the border between Namibia and Botswana with elephants and antelope grazing in the valley below. Occupying the only table where there was a bit of shade was a teenager/young man from Zambia, trying to make his way to Namibia where he hoped to find work. Without papers, food or water, he was tired, hungry and dehydrated. The care and compassion given to him by the crew, especially our driver, was exemplary and a salutary lesson to us pampered British.What did you think of your group leader?A very funny man, keen to make the whole group have a good time. Stayed calm (just about) when one of of the group lost their passport, money and other documents and made sure they got sorted out in time to return home on the group flight.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?Take some string for a washing line and less clothes than you think you need. We travelled at the end of September and only felt cold(ish) on one night, so rarely got into our 2/3 season sleeping bags. But it was exceptionally warm according to the locals. Good binoculars will enhance your trip, as well as a good bird book.Is there anything else you would like to add?This was our first trip to this part of Africa and it gave an overview of the region that was exceptional. Excellent if you can stay awake on long journeys through spectacular landscapes.

    Some very, very, long days spent travelling in a truck, especially in Namibia. All "water" locations were excellent (Orange River, Okavango, Chobe etc.).What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?3 things stood out:-seeing a whale, with her calf, right by the shoreline, near Capetown. watching a leopard for about 90mins, from being with its kill in a tree to coming down and walking to a water hole.Victoria Falls - even with little water - absolutely stunning.What did you think of your group leader?Our group leader was very good at problem solving (and we did have a few) and very good at bird spotting.  He could have given a bit more information about things on the itinerary.  It was unfortunate that he sat in the front of the truck with the driver, so there was little information passed whilst en route.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?Take most of your currency in rands - you only really need US dollars in Zambia. Is there anything else you would like to add?Definitely best to start in Capetown and gradually work your way to the best bits at the end.

    This was the start of a four month round the world trip and was certainly one of the highlights of the whole four months. It was a mix of fantastic scenery, great game viewing and we felt very well supported throughout by the overland crew.What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?Where to start!  Walking with lions in Zambia, seeing the magnificent Victoria Falls by helicopter, staying at the quirky Ngepi campsite, game viewing on land and on the river, the stunning Namibian scenery...What did you think of your group leader?Excellent, as were the two other members of the overland crew.  I've been on over 10 Exodus holidays and whilst the group leaders are always very good (one of the reasons I keep going back to Exodus) the crew on this trip were one of the best.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?Pack light as there is a lot of moving between campsites!  A small, camping lantern is a good idea and a head torch with spare batteries.  Make sure your plug adaptor is suitable for Africa.  We had two universal adaptors between us and neither worked.  Be considerate of others on game drives, so everyone gets a good view. And finally, all the seats on the overland truck are equally as good! Is there anything else you would like to add?This review is for September 2011 trip, Livingstone to Cape Town.

    A memorable trip with some amazing scenery and many highlights, especially the dunes and Victoria Falls. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?The view from the top of Dune 45 was awe inspiring and well worth the effort.What did you think of your group leader?The Group Leader and Driver were both helpful, good fun and wonderful cooks.Do you have any advice for potential travellers?The itinerary often vastly under-estimated the length of the drives and you frequently ended up with very little time at your destination to relax and enjoy your location.  The truck lets the trip down as it lacks onboard storage (for hats, water, binoculars, etc. - take a small day bag to put by your feet), has restricted viewing on the game drives when full and some of the seats have seen better days and so aren't comfortable for the long drives - back cushions come in handy.We took South African Rand and this was accepted nearly everywhere, avoiding the need to regularly change currency.Is there anything else you would like to add?This isn't the best trip for game viewing or interacting with different cultures (we were distinctly unwelcome when we did a village tour) but offers the chance to witness the stunning and ever-changing scenery in this part of Africa.Aside from the few niggles, the trip was excellent.

    The itinerary was the major reason for choosing this holiday. It fulfilled all of our expectations but the vehicle, although kept clean and well driven, was poor in terms of comfort and visibility compared with vehicles used by other adventure companies with whom we have travelled. Travelling times indicated in the itinerary were rather optimistic!Do you have any advice for potential travellers?Everyone should be aware that they are expected to assist with domestic chores e.g. preparation of lunch etc.Is there anything else you would like to add?My comments are intended to offer constructive criticism and if published should be used in full without selective editing.
