Looking foward to going back in future.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
- We think two days at a camp is too short, you just get there and have to leave. I would recommend minimun stay of 3 nigjhts.
- Try and keep the same airline for the flight, we nearly missed our connection due to SA Airways delay and did not get out luggage for 24 hours. We also met a number of people who lost theirs for up to five days due to issues with Air Botswana/South Africa.
- Linyati, mention the bugs as they were really bad!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"Namibia and Botswana"
Selinda Camp was by far the best experience of the holiday, for us it was the perfect safari destination. Maybe because it is privately owned, it had that extra something? It was not nearly as expensive as Little Mombo, but it definitely had a 'magic ingredient'.
Last year we went to Lion Camp in Zambia, which is also on our favourite camp list, this is also privately owned, but again not on the silly cost list - so next time we book we will go for privately owned smaller camps.

We would definitely use Expert Africa again." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"A very expensive but fantastic holiday"
I enjoyed every aspect: the small aircraft flights low over the delta, the landscapes, the camps and the fact that animals could come and go, all the activities, the gin and tonic sundowners every day, the food, the interaction with the staff (and some of the guests!), the flora and, of course, the fauna.

Please note that while I give Maruska a "yes certainly" re: knowledge, for the life of me I do not udnerstand why she was so insistent on us visiting this camp last or even at all, plus the fact that it was a 6 1/2 back track from Maun.
Based on the first 3 camps our experience was more than "Very Satisfactory"--it exceeded expectation. Santandadibe was the downer!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"Trip of a life time"
Never to be forgotton but will loose all our friends raving about it!

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

"Loved every minute."
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!
