We traveled to Victoria Falls, Botswana, and South Africa using the travel services. We had to make a change in our plans to bypass Keyna due to the riots. Initially, June, our conceirge stated that we would lose our hotel and travel bookings in Nairobi if we change our routing. But, my daughter talked to her and that motivated June to work with her ground team to ensure that we did not have to pay any extra charges for our detour through Johannesberg. That made a big difference to our trip and we appreciate June for her help. This was a difficult change, but once we accomplished that, the rest of the trip was arranged very well by Wayfairer Travel. The greet and meet at the different airports and border crossings made visiting multiple countries (South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botwswana) a breeze. The local arrangements were done well and the drivers appeared on time and showed us their countries. The drivers in South Africa were bitter about apertheid and wanted us to visit the slums where the displaced people are living. When we wanted to shorten the time in these places and spend time on more touristy places, they were disturbed. Even though their behavior was understandable, we would have liked it if they understood our viewpoint. The stay at the 4 Rivers campground in Botswana was amazing; the staff and guides went out of the way to make our stay enjoyable (and catered to our vegetarian dietary needs). We had the rare privilege of watching six lionesses hunt a buffalo, and the buffalo valiantly fighting and escaping the hunters. Traveling by the bush planes where our safari driver had to shoo away baboons and impala from the dirt airstrip was an unforgettable experience. The hotel in Capetown had amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean and compensated for its location away from the restaurants. Overall, we had a great time in South Africa, thanks to a well-orchastrated trip plan by Wayfairer and flawless execution. We came away with a deeper understanding of the damage caused by apertheid in South Africa and the incredible respect for wildlife and animals held by people of Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. I have never seen such abundance of wildlife in any other country in the world. If we count the number of animals as part of Gross Domestic Product, these countries would be the leaders in the world.
