Wildlife Odyssey: Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa

We are doing the Wildlife Odyssey in October 2026. The discussions pertaining to this itinerary are a couple of years old (2024). Has anyone done this trip since then, and if so, was their experience markedly different from the earlier postings? I have a pretty good idea of what to expect, having been to Africa before (a different company) and been on quite a few Tauck tours. Thanks.

    We are going 10/5/26. Although we have not been, we know a couple who went on this very tour last year and loved it.

    We are going 8/10/26. I agree the comments are a view year's old - would like to hear something more recent. Did anyone bring gifts for kids in villages, or just give cash?

    Are you sure there are school visits on this trip?

    In 2024 we visited a preschool. There were about 30 children. One person donated supplies. Most donated cash.There was no request or pressure to do so. I didn’t realize that this activity was on the itinerary. Perhaps it was not listed because Tauck alternates the places that are visited. We went in the afternoon. Some people remained at the hotel.
