Africa Adventure with Sunway Safaris

Steph shares her experience as an intrepid traveller and netball enthusiast as she enjoys her Africa Adventure with Sunway Safaris.

I had the exciting opportunity to attend the 2023 Netball World Cup, hosted in Cape Town, with my sister.

Before the action we enjoyed a stopover in Bangkok, visiting with family, who were our local tour guides for fabulous 4 nights.

After our Bangkok adventure, we then jetted off to Cape Town to enjoy the Quarters, Semis and Finals of the Netball World Cup 2023. It wasn’t quite the results we were going for, but an awesome atmosphere, and brilliantly organised event!

When the netball finished, we had a couple of days relaxing and exploring, then we hopped onto our Cape to Vic Falls Grand Explorer safari with Sunway Safari.

Our 21-day tour from Cape Town in South Africa, to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, also travelled through Namibia and Botswana.

Sunway Safari focuses on small group adventure tours with a maximum group size of 12. We loved this as you really got to know everyone on the trip and we were very lucky that we all got on exceptionally well! Our group was made up of people from the UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy and New Zealand, so an amazing mix of cultures.

 

We had a fabulous Tour Guide, Tee-Kay and driver, Alfred, who made our journey both informative and amusing. My favourite tag line from Alfred was “a new day – a new experience” which he said every time we had to try something slightly out of our comfort zone.

An essential part of the tour was participation, from helping with food preparation to help packing up the truck each day.

There were some long days on the bus, but we knew they were always heading to our next stunning destination.

We found the perfect mix of breathtaking scenery, taking in iconic sights like Victoria Falls, embarking on the Living Desert Tour in Swakopmund, marvelling at the majestic “Big Daddy”, Deadvlei, and Sesriem Canyon in the Namib Desert, exploring Etosha National Park, the Okavango Delta, and Chobe National Park, along with other incredible stops along the way. Here are some standout photos:

Africa is famous for its incredible wildlife, we were fortunate get get close (but not too close!) to these stunning animals:

We finished out holiday with a 4 night stopover in Singapore.

I loved my time in Singapore, we maximised our time by using the Hop on Hop off Bus to travel all around all the main sights of Singapore (including the incredible Supertree Grove), before deciding where we wanted to spend more time exploring.

Singapore is a city of combined cultures so there is some delicious cuisine to be had, you could chose from dining at local hawker stalls to 5 star dining experiences, there was something for everyone.

Overall, we both loved our trip and would recommend Africa to anyone for for a unique cultural experience, coupled with stunning landscapes.
