If it is a cruise, try the Africa board here. If it is a land tour try Trip Advisor http://www.tripadvisor.com Good luck!

There isn't a river thru the African serengeti ? :eek:

Sure there are, the Grumeti and Mara Rivers. You just have to be on a very small ship.

We did this trip last year with Vantage and loved it. If you get a chance to walk with the lions do it. This was an extra cost tour that was offered. The flight is a long one so prepare yourself. I suspect you will be flying South African Airways which was fine, but I would take along some extra snacks for the flight.

In Zimbabwe we could only us US dollars or South African rand, at the hotel only Master Card was accepted. In the local markets vendors would trade for shirts or hats or other clothing items as the products that are available to them are of very low quality. The lion walk was offered in Zimbabwe as an option.

The school visit was very interesting and the need basic school supplies such as pencils, pens

and other basic school supplies.

 

Hope this helps
