The great adventure
As we embarked on our five day tour visiting four counties (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia), the anticipation was high. Our group consisted of seven persons and everyone was blown away! We started at Victoria Falls, led by two knowledgeable tour guides. One on the Zimbabwe side and other guide on the Zambia side. The waterfall was absolutely breathtaking! We strongly recommend you to bring a change of clothes because the mist is actually a rain shower on the Zambia side...LOL. Our journey took us to Botswana, where we had a morning boat ride safari excursion that was a different view from the traditional jeep ride. There were many times that we believed our tour guide was too close to the hippo and crocodile but we lived on the edge and the photos that we captured were truly amazing pieces of art work! The next day in Botswana, we went to the game drive to see the lions. That excursion started at 6AM and as we watched the sun rise. WE were able to locate lions. Words cannot describe the feeling that we all experienced during that excursion. We were off to Namibia, where we went to visit the Impilia Island and took a tour of the village led by a native. We were meet by the Impalilan dancers and a bobo tree that was over thousand years old. It was an amazing journey that we will cherish and highly recommend to anyone who loves adventure and nature.

Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family
Here’s a version that keeps all of the points you mentioned, gives James more credit, and still reads like a genuine review rather than something overly polished.
We had an amazing honeymoon safari with Bushtop Safaris and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
We did a private 5-day safari with 2 days in the Maasai Mara, 1 day at Lake Naivasha and 1 day in Lake Nakuru, travelling in a comfortable pop-top Land Cruiser.
Denis was excellent from the start. He always replied quickly, was easy to communicate with, tailored the trip to fit our schedule perfectly, and organised our airport pick-up and drop-off. He also recommended all of our accommodation, which was a great mix of lodges and tented camps. We were really happy with every place we stayed and the food was excellent.
The real highlight of the trip was our guide, James. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and passionate, and taught us so much about the animals, plants and Kenyan culture. His experience really showed throughout the safari, and he was well connected with other guides and rangers, which helped us find some amazing wildlife. Thanks to James, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, including a leopard and a black rhino, which were unforgettable moments on our honeymoon.
James was also very flexible and happily changed our itinerary when we asked, making sure we got the most out of every day. The Land Cruiser was clean, comfortable and perfect for game drives. He was also a very safe and competent driver. The long journeys between parks were so comfortable that my wife often fell asleep, and James always stopped regularly for breaks whenever we wanted one.
A huge thank you to James for making our honeymoon so memorable, and to Denis for organising such a fantastic trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bushtop Safaris.
