Just a quick note to let you know our trip went well and the choices you made for camps, time at each and sequence were all good. The only negatives were associated with Rocktail in South Africa and we always knew we had the least control over that part of the trip.
Traveling from Livingston to Duma Tau to Xigera to Mombo was right on: We moved from a nice hotel environment to the camp closest to nature, notched up a bit at Xigera and Mombo is without doubt the finest of the Wilderness Safari camps in terms of facilities and staff training.
