"Trip of a life time"
Never to be forgotton but will loose all our friends raving about it!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Hard to think how you could have improved it. I think it was a shame we did not listen to the advice regarding our last camp in Botswana and feel she should have told us how little wild life ther was at Selinda. She did inform us the wild life was not as good here but there was very little." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

Wonderful wildlife experience - and we have learnt a lot. Now to sort the photos - some of which are truly fantastic e.g. looking down the throuat of a yawning lion, and, later, a cheetah too, ellephant having a dust bath after their wallow - a never-ending list!

"First time delight"
We received excellent and accurate advice from Lucy on which camps to choose. The website descriptions are detailed and well-balanced. We found everything as set out.
This really was a trip of a lifetime - made especially so by the fact that the information about it being a celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary had been passed on to the camps; at Kanana and Zarafa we were given an intimate dining experience (at Zarafa in our tent, at Kanana alone on the deck). At Little Vumbura we had a welcoming bottle of fizz chilling in our tent.
