Day 1

Okavango Delta – A Private Micro Flight Over the Okavango Delta

How's this for a dreamy start to any vacation? You're cruising above the Okavango Delta, the only two passengers in a tiny Cessna plane that's heading into an animal kingdom. Admire the lush waterways that swarm with hippos and wild crocodiles, pick out the herds that congregate on clearings, and descend over the forest until you touch down on Chief's Island. Champagne awaits your arrival and from the sumptuous mobile camp the safari has already begun. The only thing interrupting your kiss is an elephant spraying water and a tower of giraffe nodding their heads.

South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana Tour Review: 10 Nights

Our first trip to southern Africa was amazing, exceeding all expectations. We saw everything we came to see, and more. The game rides were well structured and safe, the visuals were unbelievable, and taking a side trip to Victoria Falls was a great idea. The accommodations were quite luxurious, despite being considered mid-range. There was always someone there to greet us and guide us at every travel point.

Zicasso's tour operator tailored our itinerary to our wishes and was wonderful to work with. Things couldn’t have gone better.
