I had a wonderful experience visiting… I had a wonderful experience visiting the Grand Canyon. Very organized and the group was great. My favorite part was the helicopter ride.

Accommodations and food were… Accommodations and food were disappointing for the price.

This was a wonderful trip This was a wonderful trip. Pretrip information was appropriate. During the trip Ronda and Cathy made adjustments smoothly and with the group’s personalities and interests in mind. Loved seeing South Africa in this manner. We felt safe and informed at all times.

Great trip Great trip - I enjoyed having the three meals a day and not having to find a place to eat for lunch. It was nice being able to sit with different travelers at a peaceful lunch each time getting to know them better. I did miss having time to get a postcard or two at a lot of the stops. I think I have some nice photos. I was delighted that I had a great roommate and didn't have to pay the single supplement.

Our African safari was the first time… Our African safari was the first time Rhonda had ever taken a group to Africa. We learned that "Westerners have watches, Africans have time." Not every activity planned, occurred on time or as planned. But, I feel, that Rhonda tried to accommodate as many of the group's (41 in all) particular wishes as possible. I do think some information should be communicated up front regarding the differing room accommodations, and discounted differential computed for those willing to bunk in the outskirts of camp. The meals were phenomenal as we had a master chef of native game preparing every delicacy. (Lodge should invest in a large coffee pot, though, for availability of fresh coffee rather than instant.) The weather was perfect and we were adequately advised to pack accordingly. Also helpful tips were communicated regarding options to do during layover in England. All in all, I think Rhonda did a fabulous job coordinating all the activities and keeping us informed of changes as they came up in itinerary.
