One of the most perfect travel adventures ever!
There were so many great things to say about ABC. Most important, the staff was knowledgeable, kind and fun. The accommodations were incredibly comfortable with all of the amenities one would need.
Two pieces of advice: If you want, explore other options besides driving safaris. We felt exhilarated by the walking safaris, but didn't know they were options except when they were offered. We grew a little weary being in the truck twice a day, and our bodies were thankful of the alternative.
Also, bring cash for tipping; if you are from somewhere other than Southern Africa, you will want to plan ahead to get sufficient cash. You will want to tip generously because all of the staff are amazing and deserve it!!

What an AMAZING experience.
My wife and I went on safari for our honeymoon. We stayed three nights at Linyanti Bush Camp, three nights at Khwai Lediba and two nights at Thorntree River Lodge. Each camp offered a little different experience but the service was exceptional in each location. We especially loved our guides. Taylor, our guide at Linyanti, was amazing and we really enjoyed spending so much time with him. We can say the same for Claudia at Thorntree . As an amateur wildlife photographer, this trip was a bucket list experience for me, and the guides made sure to deliver a memorable experience. We saw all the animals we had hoped to see including a cheetah and a leopard!
We were pleasantly surprised by how great the food was at all times! We enjoyed the morning breakfast by the fire, and lunch and dinner were always wonderful. We especially loved the Boma nights. We loved the community aspect of the Botswana camps, meeting the other guests from around the world, and spending time with the lovely hosts and guides from Botswana. Thorntree River Lodge also had exceptional service, but it was a less communal experience amongst guests. That's not a complaint, just an observation.
This was a pricier vacation than we can typically afford, but the value felt great. We got our money's worth out of the experience and the service, including guides, chefs, housekeepers, bartenders and our hosts, was nothing short of perfect. We felt taken care of from the moment we stepped foot in Botswana all the way through navigating the Zambia/Zimbabwe border to fly back to Cape Town. We simply cannot stop raving about every aspect of our trip, so thank you, ABC!
