With wonderful memories and a few thousand photos!If you have a bit more time to explore, consider adding a Botswana safari, or a few days lazing on the white beaches of the Seychelles islands.Cape Town was a sheer delight. My son and I opted for the Great White Shark cage diving trip; that is a thrill we will remember for the rest of our lives! The Palace was a complete mind blower. There were so many things to do and see, we could have stayed twice as long. The game drives in the park were a highlight, although my husband said the golfing was a close second. Josh spend most of his time in the wave pool. Victoria Falls was a great way to end the trip, the Royal Livingstone is as class act bar none. The Falls were not in high flow so we got to swim in the natural rock pool at the edge. All in all amazing and the best trip ever! – Caitlin P. – Berkeley, CA
