Mark Bowdern, his wife and two children under 12 years travelled to Sun City and Victoria Falls with a short stop in Chobe for some excellent elephant viewing!

All the facilities at Sun City were very enjoyable BUT .. The Cabanas rooms are shockingly small. They really need to look at this. The bedding for 2 kids is a pull out lounge .. that is just foam on the floor. It’s OK if they’re young but not recommended for kids over 8 years old really. There needs to be family rooms .. that actually can fit a family of 4 ..

Zambezi Sun. Fantastic. Staff here are amazing !! Sooo friendly and genuinely helpful. The only downside was the price of wine. Ridiculous US dollar amounts.
Bottles of Nederburg that might be 45R are $45 US.
Rooms .. though not large feature 2 King sized beds that are very comfortable. If the kids are happy .. so are the parents.

Finally Chobe Marina lodge … great accommodation though staff are lacking in training. Even the S African managers here need a bit of a kick… not once did either the GM or the F&B mgr even say hello ?!
Would stay here again though as the room and setting are great

And finally the transport company who arranged transfers etc .. must have been trained in Switzerland. On time .. every time and thoroughly good people .. good recommendations

Best Regards and many thanks again Lise ..
