Why you went: We went on safari in Tanzania seven years ago and loved it. This year, our son was doing a semester abroad at the University of Cape Town, so it was a great opportunity to visit him and go on safari again for seven days in Botswana and three days in South Africa. Don’t miss: The Okavango Delta; the landscape is beautiful and the animals seen (lions, elephants, giraffe, hippos, wild dogs, zebras and more) are amazing. Don’t bother: Staying in one location for fewer than two nights.
