Extraordinary Trip to South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe
After a year of planning with Safari.com, Luxury Safari Consultant - Leighann Croeser, our long wait was greatly rewarded. In September 2025, we spent 21 extraordinary days in South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Our plan was to start in Cape Town, go to Zulu Nyala and then another safari in Kruger. With expertise guidance from Leighann Croeser, we added in Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge, Victoria Falls, Panoramic Route, and Johannesburg. These additions to our trip, greatly enhanced our FIRST African vacation, adding incredible sites, knowledgeable tours and beautiful accommodations. Our visit to Cape Town was all arranged by Leighann. She gave us hotel choices based on what we wanted to do. We choose the Winchester Hotel. A beautiful location with the popular walking path going around the bay, a delicious restaurant on property, and wonderful rooms with views. We loved the courtyard! We had a wonderful driver, David, for three day who arranged our visit to the Apartheid Museum, Atlas Spice Shop, Table Mountain, Stellenbosch wineries, Cape of Good Hope, and penguins! After four fun filled days, we headed up to Zulu Nylan Safari Lodge for 6 nights, Johannesburg -1 night so we could drive the Panoramic Route staying at Angles View Hotel, Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge – 3 nights and finally Victoria Falls – 4 nights with a both sides tour of Victoria Falls and the Steam Train Dinner. Here is our big note: Flying and driving around to each of these locations takes incredible experience and planning for your trip. Trying to navigation these websites in America was difficult. We can’t tell you how important it is to have someone in Africa to handles these domestic flights, hotels reservations and drivers. Leighann booked all of our interior airline flights, checked us in for every flight, and drivers for every flight. We had a weather delay in Richard’s Bay. Our flight to Johannesburg was delayed 5 hours. Leighann called our hotel - DaVinci, the restaurant we booked for that night (Alto234) and the driver. Upon arrival, we were promptly met by our driver and taken to this beautiful hotel downtown Johannesburg. A little late to dinner but the most incredible evening at the top of Alto234 Bar with endless views. Leighann Croeser is an amazing, highly experience travel consultant for “all of Africa”. We can’t say enough good words about her. She enhanced our visit to an unexpected level of service, a can-do attitude with a grace we have never experienced! When you’re so far away in country, like Africa, you want our Luxury Safari Consultant - Leighann Croeser as your travel adviser!
