I truly enjoyed the trip. It was a please having Big Ben as the tour guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and eager to assist. A negative was driving back to Johannesburg from Kruger Park instead of flying to Capetown from there. It was a wasted day that could have been spent seeing trying to see the other Big 5 animals or getting to Capetown earlier. We loved the Gold Restaurant and being immersed in the drumming and performance. The food was also delicious. Having them paint faces and wrapping our heads made us feel more included in the evening. I loved going thru the Desert in Dubai, but it was extremely HOT. The camel ride was short but the live performances were wonderful. I lost my book on the airplane traveling from Capetown to Dubai. Hope i can get it back as i borrowed it from the library. Also the hotel was not ready when we arrived in Dubai at 9am. Check in was 3pm. Knowing this we should have just gone sightseeing instead of trying to store bags. This added to the frustration at the end of the trip after loosing one of our persons. I appreciated the trip as a whole. I hope to go to Nigeria and Ghana someday.
