Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs Pel's fishing owl - Oxfordshire
Great trip overall
On this trip, I visited Namibia, South Africa & Zambia between 30-Aug-2008 and 23-Sep-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.
As a complete trip it was brilliant with many wonderful highlights. Until we got to Kulala the arrangements worked flawlessly. Only then did things begin to go wrong and these all happened on Wilderness Safaris' "watch". From then on the trip had an element of stress it did not have before since we constantly had to keep on checking things like whether they had packed fruit on the game drives for my wife instead of cake (on 2 days they forgot!). I know you have already been in contact with them and I await the outcome.
Thank you Expert Africa!
