Hosting the trip is myself, Charmaine. As a mother, business owner and adventure-seeker, I am traveling the globe, having hit the travel bug ever since we moved to Botswana in 1996. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience in traveling to destinations, especially Africa and South America. I want to share the magic of this world with others. Before the tour starts, you will have the opportunity to meet your fellow travelers through a video call so that we all have a good idea of who we're sharing the few days with! In my experience, I have made longtime friends through these small group tours! There is ample downtime for sundowners, massages and for the adventurous types, helicopter flights, bungee jumps or microlight flights to experience. NOTE: Inbound flights to Maun International Airport Outbound flight is from Victoria Falls International Airport Feel free to get in touch with any questions - I look forward to meeting you! With love, Charmaine x
