You will arrive at Livingstone International Airport, where you'll be met and transferred to your lodge. Depending on the time you arrive, you should be able to enjoy a sundowner cruise on the Zambezi River, where you might spot hippo, crocodile or elephant. Your overnight stay will be at Sussi & Chuma Tree House, with your meals, drinks and river cruise included.

The next day you'll visit the famous Victoria Falls. The majestic waterfall, a Unesco World Heritage Site, is impressive in full flood (February to end May) and even in low season (October and November). After your walking tour, there are many optional activities to choose from for the rest of the day. Vic Falls is an adrenalin junkie's dream playground, offering bungee jumping, white-water rafting, kayaking, and even a helicopter flip over the Falls to get a different perspective. Note that these activities aren't included, and must be booked and paid for separately. Your overnight stay will be at Sussi & Chuma Tree House, with your meals and walking tour of the falls included.

In the afternoon, you can enjoy the sunset river cruise along the Chobe River or an afternoon game drive in the park.

After breakfast, you'll be taken to Kasane Airport for your scheduled flight into the Okavango Delta. The Delta is an extraordinary experience and you'll be spending your time in the heart of the Delta. Chief’s Camp is on Chief's Island in the Mombo Concession of the Moremi Game Reserve. Known as the 'predator capital of Africa', this area is ideal for game viewing. The seasonal water of the Delta ensures that the area in front of the camp is always changing – from a dry floodplain teeming with wildlife to a lush and tranquil lagoon.

Chief's Camp is located in the only area in the Okavango Delta that has both black and white rhinos, completing the Big Five. You can take part in seasonal mokoro (traditional dug-out canoe) excursions, depending on water levels in the seasonal channels. Look out for some of the Delta's 400-plus species of birds, including African fish eagle and Pel's fishing owl. Your overnights stay include your meals and scheduled activities.

I am giving below my feedback about all aspect of the trip from 24th May to 5th June, 2016.

a) Accommodation at Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, Skukuza Rest Camp, Kruger National Park and Cape Town was well located with comfortable rooms as per our requirements.

b) Transfers and Tours at all places was on time and we did have not much of a problem.

c) Flights booked for various places were on time and we were able to maintain our schedule.

d) Two Dinner arrangements at Johannesburg and Cape Town was satisfactory. I have only following comments which if amended will help other travelers.

1) Guide at Victoria Falls was not very helpful. We had to spend some funds to cross the Bridge by walk. I am not sure why this was not included.

2) Kruger National Park – Safari timing during Morning and evening appears to be on fixed irrespective of seasonal variation. This resulted lots of time in movement in darkness which was a waste. This can be easily rectified if Kruger National Park changes Safari timings as per Sun rise and Sun set.

3) Wine Tour at Cape Town should have been included. You ultimately accommodated us at an extra cost. I once again like to convey my sincere gratitude and thanks to you and Discover Africa for arranging this wonderful trip for eight Senior Citizens from India and UK having ages 70+.

I shall definitely recommend Discover Africa and particularly you whenever any of my family and friends plans trip to South Africa and nearby countries.
