Africa Suggestions?

[Shopinpat]

I want to plan a trip for me and my husband to Africa in 09.

He is a hunter and loves wildlife. I on the other hand prefer room service! ha

Can anyone give me some suggestions on must see's for the first time in Africa and where to definitely go?

Not sure if I should be looking at a tour group (like Tauck) or cruise.

Any Africa travelers with suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

It sounds as if a cruise/tour package would be perfect for you. We had 3 days on Safari followed by an 11 day cruise and that combination suited me perfectly. However, many other arrangements are possible.

Have a GREAT cruise!

If you are not set on doing this as a cruise, I have done two trips there and have great experiences with both companies I used. I'm not into hunting, so picture taking safaris are what I'm talking about here.

 

Tanzania - we used Africa Dream Safaris. They were excellent. Private safari but prices were very reasonable - especially for what we got. We collected school supplies before going and they were kind enough to give us time to drop them off to the girls school I had found who needed them.

South Africa, Botswana and Zambia - we used BigFive. They were great too - my sister and I traveled alone and never felt uncomfortable. Their prices have gone up quite a bit over the last couple years.

We went to South Aftica, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Zambia with Overseas Adventure Travel last summer. It was wonderful, but not a hunting trip. We spent 3 nights in each of 4 camps at game preserves. Also 1 night in Joburg, 2 nights in Victoria Falls and 4 in Cape Town.
