Adventure Holiday to South Africa, Zimbabwe & Botswana
We had a fantastic time! Everything was perfectly planned and proceeded on schedule. This was our third trip to Africa and it was amazing! We visited six different areas, and it's so hard to pick our favorite. Thank you Ralph and Mahlatini for making it a beautiful experience.
