Miranda Wenting01 Dec 2009: Hi there, I'm a Dutch girl planning a tour to Southern Africa. Since many of the Dutch touroperators cant help me connection a few countries together in one tour, I'm looking for it overseas. Your tour Johannesburg-Livingstone is what i'm looking for. While ending in Livingstone I would like to extend the tour with 1 week in Zambia. I see the programs incluiding Zambia is what i'm looking for in Zambia. Want to see the most popular parcs and cities. All together I would like to travel approx 5 weeks, so when time availible the option of hopping into Congo to see the gorillas, it would be great! I've no interest in seeing more of South Africa then JNB. No interest in seeing Mozambique either and Namibia is so-so... When possible I would like to camp - it must be a budget holiday. I'm traveling alone and want to leave end of November, beginning of December. Hope you can help me out by connection some tours. I'm possible to leave from Amsterdam or Dusseldorf international aiport. When tour is excl flighttickets, I can arrange them myself too. Kind regards. Miranda Wenting The Netherlands
