The trip was fantastic as are most Tauck trips. Our first game sightings were at the Royal Livingstone with giraffes, zebras, baboons and impalas just outside your porch. You can walk to the falls from the resort. One couple got transportation to the Zimbabwe side and said the water was more plentiful there. The falls are low now as they are normally this time of year. Dress at the resort was very casual. We came in early and had lunch at the Elephant Café. We highly recommend it as it gives you an up close experience with the elephants and you’ll have the best meal of your trip here. Transportation between camps on the Cessna Caravans was flawless, normally 50 minutes for each trip. Each camp will do your laundry so pack accordingly. You drop it off the first evening and you’ll have it back by dinner the following evening. There was no concern about plastic bags in Botswana. Our weather was fantastic everywhere including Cape Town. Temperatures were between 52º and 92º in Botswana and 45º to 80º in Cape Town. Two men wore shorts the entire time although others were bundled up on the early morning game drives so gloves, scarves and hats may be needed. Blankets were provided each morning. You will want a bandana or some sort of head wrap for the ATV ride as it gets quite dusty on the trail. The One and Only Resort was fabulous. Although an upscale property, dress was casual. No sport coats required. Have a great time. Pula!
