Queen Victoria, Kings Camp, Savanna Lodge and Victoria Falls Safari Club – A Wonderful Southern Africa Itinerary
Celeste booked Michael and Lynda on a wonderful Southern Africa Itinerary. Starting in the Mother City, Cape Town, they stayed at the beautiful Waterfront Hotel; The Queen Victoria. From here they headed to the Kruger National Park and visited 2 different areas. First was Kings Camp in the Timbavati Game Reserve, then to Savanna Lodge in Sabi Sand. They ended their holiday in Victoria Falls where they stayed at the Victoria Falls Safari Club.
Hi Celeste
Thanks for checking in with us. We had a wonderful trip, great properties, great food, great hospitality and perfect itinerary. I must say we are very impressed with the South African tourist industry’s professionalism. All the ground and air transfers worked perfectly.
Michael & Lynda up close and personal with the King of the Bush!
Cape Town was a real treat, beautiful setting, excellent food and we had a good time on both the excursions to the Cape and to Wine Country. We were very lucky to be upgraded at the Queen Victoria Hotel to the adjoining Dock House property into a wonderful suite.
Kings Camp in Timbavati was wonderful. Our ranger was Dean and our tracker was Albert and they were a great team. We saw the big 5 on our first two drives and by the time we had our five nights we had seen every major mammal on the list other than an aardvark and many of them several times. Just a wonderful experience, food was good, accommodation also good and very well run by Warren and Lisha who put a lot of personality into the place.

Savanna Lodge in Sabi Sands was also wonderful. Excellent food, great service, good accommodation and very hospitable staff with the GM, Paddy Haggelthorn, leading the way. Our ranger was David and tracker was Life and again we had a great team. We saw the big 5 on the first day and then each drive just kept getting better and better with multiple sightings of all the major mammals to be topped on the last drive by a female leopard and two cubs with a kill (Impala) in a tree feeding. What a way to end our safari!
Wonderful Game Drives to see the Big 5 at Savanna Lodge+
Victoria Falls was definitely worth the visit . Victoria Falls Safari Club is excellent, first class accommodation and excellent meals. We enjoyed the sunset cruise and the falls walk and also did a helicopter tour which is very worthwhile.

So all in all a wonderful itinerary that you custom built for us. I don’t think we would change a thing.
Thank you so much for working with us to make this trip so special.
I’ve got about 425 pictures so I’ll only share one with you….it’s good to be king!
And I’ll be posting on Trip Advisor for the properties when I get caught up here and please feel free to use the above on your website if you wish.
