Amazing trip to South Africa, Botswana and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe!
After perusing itineraries for quite a while I decided to organise a three week trip for me (60 years) and my daughter (30) with Bel from Trailblazers. We were given individual treatment... just the drivers and us. What a fantastic trip we had! Starting in Johannesburg we did three safaris in Kruger plus a day trip on the Panaromic route before heading north. We travelled all the way through Botswana staying at the Khama Rhino Sanctuary where we did another more peaceful afternoon safari before reaching Chobe where we experienced yet another different and exhilarating safari. After crossing the border to Zimbabwe we visited Victoria Falls which is a must see! On the return journey through Botswana, we stayed in a traditional chalet next to the waterhole at Elephant Sands where the elephants were going about their daily lives at the waterhole only metres away. We then returned to Johannesburg and visited Soweto - a very moving experience, before flying to Capetown to complete our last leg which was a more luxurious and upbeat experience. In Capetown we met interesting people while enjoying day trips visiting Table Mountain, The Cape of Good Hope and the wineries and we also explored the city ourselves, eating at excellent restaurants and meandering through areas such as the waterfront. I cannot praise Bel enough! Before we left Australia, she contacted me regularly with necessary info and upgrades! Our accommodation ranged from traditional chalets, lodges and mid-range hotels and in each country we met up with a new driver/guide who was helpful, often funny, friendly and protective, making us feel safe and secure. The encounters with animals were amazing and have created lifetime memories for us. I am already planning my next adventure with Bel.

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT
Not normally one for group tours, or holidays, I decided South Africa would be better in numbers, so I went with Trailblazers Travel on an intimate, group holiday, of 12 for a 10 day adventure.
Well, I must say, it blew my mind. Not only was the group, some of the best people I've ever met, but the tours and itinerary was brilliant. Everything had been thought out, researched and included..PLUS MORE! The country was spectacular and locals we met along the way, touched my heart in the best way possible. They were some of the most genuinely happy and authentic people in the world, completely accepting and excited to meet us and share a story. And, on top of that, the safari in Kruger, up close and personal with incredible animals - no words can describe...its a must see!!!
Wish I could recommend Trailblazers Travel more highly than 5 Stars because they deserve it. X

Brilliant communication, service, best holiday ever AND they give back to the underprivileged! LOVE
Africa had been on my radar for some time but overwhelming once I started looking for a tour, as there were so many companies to choose and not knowing where to start or who to trust, it all became too hard so I gave up.
A friend told me about an ad she saw from Trailblazers Travel so I sent an enquiry off.
Belinda was extremely helpful, we felt completely confident and we signed up. Never having done a group tour I wasn't sure how I'd go, but as friends travelling together to Africa, we thought it would be better travelling with a small group.
From the moment we met with the other people from the group, we knew we had made the right decision. The ages ranged from 40-70 and everyone got on so well, and from the first celebratory wine at the before takeoff, we knew we were in for a treat!
Wow, Africa - what can I say. So many thoughts race to mind and all my expectations were so far exceeded! It was refreshing to come from a place where we have so much, where we are so consumed with every day routines and where most people are losing the ability to think past ourselves, to land in Africa and see and feel the community and the coming together to mend old wounds. Africans are happy, smiling people with music and rhythm deep in their souls.
Africa is romantic but it’s also challenging. It’s compelling, it’s inspirational, it’s confronting and emotive but it is also life changing and beyond this, Africa will inspire you on all sorts of levels.
It’s something you don’t expect when embarking on a holiday but a new, positive outlook on life takes over you and consumes you in a way you didn’t know possible.
What I love about Africa is your eyes will be opened to new ways. Your body quiets and your mind settles. You relax, you see and you listen. But there are no words. It is in the behaviour of the animals that you will hear the unspoken word of forgiveness, family, self sacrifice, grace and justice.
Africa is enriching on so many levels and above all, the animals become the teachers and we become the student of life. Africa is a reconnection back to the land, to your ancestors, to yourself and to all the possibilities you have. It calls you in, it enriches your life and inspires you to greatness.
You must go at least once in your life. You won’t regret it!
