Lucy very helpful, patient and knowledgable." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
"A fantastic experience - all we hoped for!"
The tranquility and beauty of being out on the water in a mokoro; a close encounter with a hippo; driving through 1m of floodwater to reach the camp; tracking lions; spotting a leopard on a night drive; and the total darkness with no electric lights visible other than those at our camp...........Our memories will stay with us for ever. And then the number of animals at Muchenje! Elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, hippos, antelope ....... it was amazing!
With hinsight, it was definitely a good choice to experience the Delta first and visit Chobe National Park second. Our boys loved the thrill of tracking and searching in the Delta, but then welcomed the opportunity to be so close to such a huge numbers of animals at our final camp.
Thanks, Expert Africa, for organising such a memorable trip!

"Absolutely brilliant"
My only regret is having read comments about how cold it is at this time of year we packed warmer things.....we still were very cold and could have done with winter jackets." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

Car hire; Tracy recommended a 4x4 when pushed, accepted it was possible in a 2 WD, as indeed all brouchers indicate, not just EX AF. I would happily tell anyone that I made a mistake, and a 4x4 is essential. The gravel roads are so variable in quality throughout Namibia some rutted so badly or loosely laid that grounding is unavoidable at 20Kph, the C14,C19, C27 for example, in Etosha water flooding the road -- how deep?, fortunatly we remained dry.
Thanks Tracy for a wonderful trip

A mobile camp with the comforts of a semi-permanent tented camp, Savute Under Canvas offers guided game drives within the Savuti region of Chobe National Park.
Chobe Elephant Camp
Located in one of our favorite areas of Chobe National Park, Chobe Elephant Camp is a simple but well-appointed camp with a strong bush feel.
Chobe Under Canvas
This is a typical location for Chobe under Canvas, a small, semi-permanent camp in the Chobe Riverfront area that offers good value for money and high standards of care.
Chobe Safari Lodge
Chobe Safari Lodge is a good value, hotel-style lodge in the heart of Kasane offering game drives, boat cruises and fishing trips.
Chobe Game Lodge
Chobe Game Lodge occupies an enviable riverfront location within Chobe National Park and boasts well-earned 'eco' credentials, as well as an excellent all-female guiding team.
Ngoma Safari Lodge

Chobe Chilwero
On the periphery of Chobe National Park, Chobe Chilwero offers luxurious surroundings and excellent food, which complement superb game viewing on game drives and boat trips.
Camp Kuzuma
Camp Kuzuma sits in the Kazuma Forest Reserve and is an excellent place to see elephant in particular. Away from the busier riverfront area of Chobe National Park this camp offers a luxurious base form which to explore this less visited region of northern Botswana.
Savute Elephant Lodge
Savute Elephant Lodge is a luxurious camp on the banks of the now flowing Savuti Channel. This is a classic big-game area, although its location within Chobe National Park does limit the activities which are possible here.
Elephant Valley Lodge
Elephant Valley Lodge is a lovely camp in a beautiful setting – sit in its hide and watch the wildlife come to drink at the waterhole. Activities focus on boating and drives in Chobe which - although very busy, and a long drive from the lodge – is very rich in wildlife.
