"We've been to Africa 10 times now and this was my third trip to Botswana. Amazing experience overall.
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"
I visited Botswana between 26 May 2015 and 6 Jun 2015
"How do we even begin?! As our very first experience of Africa this was an absolutely incredible trip. The camps we stayed at were fantastic, we saw everything we came to see (and more!) and the Delta is an even more stunning location that we could have imagined.
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"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 26 May 2015 and 5 Jun 2015
"Once in a lifetime trip! Botswana was beautiful, people were friendly, and game viewing was out of this world. We saw more animals than we ever thought we would see. The private game reserves are worth the extra cost because you can get closer to the animals. The guides were extremely knowledgable and taught us a lot. Tracking skills were outstanding. The lodges were all beautiful and great with conservation efforts. There were only a few kinks in our trip. Kwara camp staff were lacking people skills and clearly weren't happy to be there. Also, on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls we were harassed by some local street sellers and threatened. Though everyone else in Zimbabwe were very friendly so we didn't let this ruin our experience. I would recommend local guides or tourism police for going out in public next time. Overall this trip was outstanding, we are already talking about going back some day!"

"My May 2015 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 25 May 2015 and 10 Jun 2015
"Trip of a lifetime
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

"Exceptional experience."
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 14 Apr 2015 and 23 Apr 2015
"I cannot say enough to about this trip.
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 visited Botswana between 1 Mar 2015 and 11 Mar 2015
"Fantastic! I wish we were young enough to return.
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.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
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
