"Amazing experience, wild dogs rule!"
Great accommodations, great people and the best wildlife viewing in Africa, if you like more natural and wild environment." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"Botswana - Trip of a Lifetime! May 2015"
The logistics around the whole operation were seamless - we didn't have to worry about a single element of transport as it was all expertly taken care of. We felt very looked after and ultimately very relaxed!
In all, there is nothing here that we could have reasonably asked for to make this trip any better. Thank you guys for a truly memorable trip. We look forward to booking with you again!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"Botswana safari and Victoria Falls"
"My May 2015 trip"
Loved all the camps in different ways but preferred the Kawando Group because it is locally owned and the staff seemed more genuine and accommodating. Just a different and more relaxed atmosphere than the corporate owned.
Flying from camp to camp was so relaxing unlike our previous trip to Tanzania where we were on bumpy roads most of the day
Everything went so smoothly with no delays and the camps were even more impressive than we ever imagined
It was simply the best in every way

We got great advice from Megan to go to Chitabe if we liked leopards!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"Exceptional experience."
So many truly exceptional experiences, so many kind, warm people, the beauty of the region is astounding as is the amount of wildlife to be viewed. The diversity of the forests, grasses, plants and trees is also spectacular. All the guides and trackers were knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. There were nice connections and nice moments.
Without a doubt I will return to this area and without a doubt I will use Expert Africa.

Not really. Nick was always so timely, informative and attentive. It has been a pleasure working with him over this past year. Also, it is nice to have found a company where I can refer people and be assured that they will receive the best treatment.
Thank you all so much." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"My Mar 2015 trip"
I don't think anyone should go to South Africa, without also visiting Botswana. I don't know which "season" is best, but it was great when we went. We enjoyed meeting many interesting people, we enjoyed having the knowledgeable guides join us for meals.

I knew who I wanted to arrange our trip, Maruska, so didn't really inquire or read your brochure, nor check your website.
It was also very nice to meet Ellie Dunkels [Ed: one of our team - as she was on a trip to review and inspect camps] in several of our camps." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
