Cape Town to the Elephant Coast, in a power wheelchair
My wife Jean and I had been looking to go to Africa for several years. I'm in a power wheelchair and we were having a hard time finding anyone that had a wheelchair accessible tour package.
Access2Africa Safaris offered exactly what we wanted and they came through with everything they claimed they'd supply. We spent our first days with Pam and Jeff in Cape Town enjoying the scenery and learning the history of Cape Town. Pam and Jeff have lived in Cape Town for many decades and knew all the great places to take us. The only place we weren't able to go to because of the 65 mph winds was Table Mountain. But we saw it from several different locations and got some great pictures. They took us to Boulder's Beach where the penguins live. It was amazing!
Upon departing Cape Town we flew to Durban where we met up with Sabelo, our driver/guide for the next 8 days. He took us to several reserves where we saw lots of amazing animals up close. We also enjoyed an encounter at a Zulu village, a river boat ride to see the hippopotamus and an elephant encounter where we got to feed Rambo! We had a delightful time the whole week and wished we could have stayed longer.
All in all it was a fabulous trip! I would recommend Access2Africa Safaris to anyone with any type of disability. They treat you with kid gloves and all of their selections of lodges and reserves were excellent choices.
Thanks to Jennae for booking everything for us and paying attention to all the small details as well.
