Brilliant organisation, fantastic tour
5/5

Rather than booking individual tours, we contacted Southern Dynasty with a planned itinerary and they sorted everything out for us. We flew into Victoria Falls and were but by a Zimbabwean guide, escorted to the border, helped with immigration formalities and handed over to the Zambian team whom we had booked through and taken to our hotel in Livingstone. The first night we did a sunset cruise on the Zambezi which was a wonderful way to spend out first night in Zambia. The cruise had some food and an open bar so it was a relaxing start to our trip. The next morning, our fantatsic guide and driver Mwangelwa took us to Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria Falls) and gave us the tour of the Zambian side, before driving us to the border and handing us over to Kuta, our guide in Zimbabwe. Mwangelwa was waiting for us at the border to bring us back over the bridge to our hotel. The next day, we arranged a tour to Chobe National Park in Botswana which was incredible. Mwangelwa picked us up bright and early and drove us over the bridge to the Botswanan side where we were met by the park guides for Botswana. The safari tour was world class, and having both the park drive and the boat tour on the Chobe river allowed us to see different sides of the national park. The buffet lunch was also excellent. This was my first safari experience so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it was incredible and experienced safari-goers were also very happy throughout. On pur last day in Livingstone, we were picked up at the hotel and transferred to the airport for our onward flight to Lusaka. The entire organisation was perfect and the Zambian team work so well with their colleagues in Zimbabwe and Botswana to offer these cross-border experiences. Huge shout out to Mwangelwa, our driver and giude in Zambia - lovely guy and great company for our days in Livingstone. 100% would recommend Southern Dynasty.
