This trip was the most fantastic way to see the Big Five and have many other experiences as well. The Okovango Delta and Chobe in particular stood out to me, but literally everything we did was incredible.

The overall experience was great. The itinerary was mainly on point and got a chance to visit a lot of resorts/parks that had multiple animals to see upclose. The chosen CEOs were great with lot of local knowledge and experience.

Honestly, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. The people on the group got on very well and we will all hopefully see people again on other G tours. I booked as a singular traveler and the room buddy I was paired with was perfect!
