Our trip to Southern Africa took us from the Cape's winelands to up close and personal with elephants in Hwange National Park and from the tranquil tip of the African continent to the bustling capital of Johannesburg. Three weeks of culture, wildlife and wine on one unforgettable mother-daughter trip!
Cape Town, Bo Kaap Neighborhood (Callie Woody)The day was finally here! I boarded the lite rail out of Seattle, tired but excited for the long journey to South Africa. The train ride gave me time to mentally prepare for the slog ahead of me: 14 hour flight to Dubai, 8 hour layover and finally a10 hour flight to Cape Town. There are several choices when it comes to South African flights, but I opted for Emirates, which has long been my favorite airline (possibly because of that “free” time in Dubai on all of their Africa connections). This first flight to Dubai was one I had done many times before, and on past flights the friendly Emirates crew ensured I was well fed and the movie selection ensured I was well entertained. I happily found this flight to be no different! We landed in Dubai the following morning without issue, and I walked laps and caught up with friends for the next 8 hours in the UAE. Unfortunately, I was not so lucky on the flight to Cape Town, and spent the next 10 hours in and out of fitful sleep, unable to quell my growing boredom. I slept no more than 2 hours, and arrived in Cape Town delirious, but extremely excited. This excitement only increased as my Adventure Life driver and I made our way toward the city. I’d dreamt of Cape Town for many years; it was hard to believe that I was finally seeing it with my own eyes!

We have worked with Kassandra at Adventure-Life for several years. She continues to provide excellent guidance on our trips. This time, we tossed some real challenges - explicit number of days, specific itineraries and limitations on who we would prefer to sail with. She actually gave us choices ! Deposit in place and working on additional details for insurance and extensions. Another success !!

Its a beautiful country, very friendly people, and everything went like clockwork. The local guide/driver was one of the best we've had: knowledgeable, always on time, had good ideas for what to see. Khiri Travel (the local travel agency) is terrific. Second trip we've taken with them. Recommend them and Adventure Life 100%
