点评:We normally plan our own adventures but for our first ever trip to Africa we reached out to Ultimate Africa Safaris for their expertise. Ian Proctor created a perfect itinerary for us, took care of all the transfers/accommodations, and gave us the peace of mind that all the moving parts of this adventure would come together smoothly.
We could not have hoped for a better trip...
We flew Seattle, WA to Doha, Qatar. We had an overnight layover so we booked a room at the hotel inside the airport. The hotel was a great place to rest and we were able to get up in the morning and walk right to our gate without having to worry about checking our luggage or navigating security again.
First stop was Cape Town, South Africa.
A driver picked us up at the airport and delivered us to a boutique hotel, Kensington Place. Two days of private cape and wine country tours and then it was time for Safari.
Second Stop was Khwai Leadwood Camp, Botswana.
Our driver delivered us back to the airport where we caught our flight to Maun, Botswana. After a short stay in the private Wilderness Air Lounge we were off to Khwai for 3 nights. The tented rooms were amazing, the staff was attentive to our every need, and the wildlife did not disappoint. Game drives, scenic helicopter flight(with 3 night stay), mokoro canoe excursion...WOW is all I can say about our stay.
Third Stop was Linyanti Bush Camp, Botswana. (3 nights)
We transferred via helicopter...What a great way to go!!! Again the tented rooms were amazing. Every detail was taken care of to make sure we had wonderful stay. One thing we didn't realize was how much delicious food we would encounter...Breakfast, Tea stop on morning game drive, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Sundowner on evening game drive, and Dinner, all accompanied by wine pairings or your favorite drink of choice.
Fourth Stop was Camp Okuti. (2 nights)
A short plane ride transferred us to the final camp. This camp was a little more self service than the first two but still paradise. Every activity we did provided something memorable that made this adventure special.
Final Stop Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. (2 nights)
A plane transferred us to Kasane Airport, Botswana. A driver helped us pass through the border to Zimbabwe and brought us to Batonka, a nice boutique hotel in Victoria Falls. The next morning our driver picked us up for a tour of the falls, we had lunch overlooking Zambezi river, and finished the trip with a nice dinner at Three Monkeys restaurant in town.
The only bummer was we had to go home...Our driver picked us up that final morning and brought us to the Victoria Falls Airport. We flew to Cape Town, then back to Doha, and then finally back to Seattle.
Thank you Ian and Ultimate Africa Safaris for helping deliver a trip of a lifetime. I would recommend your services to anyone considering and African adventure. I truly hope that we have the opportunity to use your services again in the future.
翻译:我们通常会计划自己的冒险活动,但在我们第一次去非洲旅行时,我们向 Ultimate Africa Safaris 寻求了他们的专业知识。伊恩·普罗克特(Ian Proctor)为我们制定了完美的行程,负责所有的接送/住宿,并让我们安心,这次冒险的所有活动部分都会顺利进行。
我们不可能希望有更好的旅行......
我们飞往华盛顿州西雅图飞往卡塔尔多哈。我们在机场过夜,所以我们在机场内的酒店预订了房间。酒店是一个休息的好地方,我们早上起床就可以直接走到门口,而不必担心检查行李或再次通过安检。
第一站是南非开普敦。
司机到机场接我们,然后送我们到一家精品酒店肯辛顿广场。两天的私人海角和葡萄酒之乡之旅,然后是狩猎之旅。
第二站是博茨瓦纳的Khwai Leadwood Camp。
我们的司机把我们送回机场,在那里我们搭乘航班飞往博茨瓦纳马翁。在私人荒野航空休息室短暂停留后,我们前往 Khwai 住了 3 个晚上。帐篷房间很棒,工作人员很关注我们的每一个需求,野生动物也没有让人失望。驱车游猎、直升机观光飞行(含 3 晚住宿)、莫科罗独木舟游览……关于我们的住宿,我只能说“哇”。
第三站是博茨瓦纳的林扬蒂布什营地。 (3晚)
我们乘坐直升机转机...真是一个很棒的方式!帐篷房间再次令人惊叹。每个细节都得到照顾,以确保我们度过愉快的时光。我们没有意识到的一件事是我们会遇到多少美味佳肴...早餐、早上驱车游猎时的茶歇、午餐、下午茶、晚上驱车游猎时的日落小酌和晚餐,所有这些都配有葡萄酒搭配或您最喜欢的饮料选择。
第四站是奥库提营地。 (2晚)
乘坐短暂的飞机将我们带到了最后的营地。这个营地比前两个营地提供更多的自助服务,但仍然是天堂。我们所做的每一项活动都提供了令人难忘的东西,使这次冒险变得特别。
最后一站津巴布韦维多利亚瀑布。 (2晚)
一架飞机将我们转移到博茨瓦纳的卡萨内机场。一名司机帮助我们穿过边境前往津巴布韦,并将我们带到巴通卡,这是维多利亚瀑布的一家不错的精品酒店。第二天早上,我们的司机接我们去参观瀑布,我们在俯瞰赞比西河的地方吃午餐,最后在镇上的三只猴子餐厅享用了一顿美味的晚餐,结束了这次旅行。
唯一令人遗憾的是我们不得不回家......我们的司机在最后一天早上来接我们并带我们去了维多利亚瀑布机场。我们飞往开普敦,然后返回多哈,最后返回西雅图。
感谢 Ian 和 Ultimate Africa Safaris 帮助我们打造了一次终生难忘的旅行。我会向任何考虑非洲冒险的人推荐你们的服务。我真诚地希望我们将来有机会再次使用你们的服务。
