Hi Jan
I'm glad you like the sound of this holiday - there is so much to see in South Africa and taking one of our escorted tours is a great way to see it all.
I've copied last year's optional excursion prices for you below as a guide. These may be a little different for 2012.
The Victoria Falls add-on is on a b&b basis and includes an excursion to Mukuni Village, home to the Leya people, and a cruise along the Zambezi River plus access to the Falls, of course. There are a number of optional excursions available, including a microlight flight over the Falls. I will get back to you when I have a list of these.
Kind regards
Olly, your editor
