" Third visit to Botswana. It was wonderful"
I visited Botswana between 19 May 2023 and 29 May 2023
"We had a great time.
The Kwando camps are excellent.
Everyone did their best to help us have the best time.
We would thoroughly recommend Kwando and Expert Africa to all prospetive travellers.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The only suggestion is keep up the good work!!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"My Apr 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 21 Apr 2023 and 8 May 2023
"The Expert Africa staff were excellent. From beginning to end, we always had staff directing us to where we had to go including getting us across the Botswana Zimbabwe border. Everyone was on time and professional. We felt completely cared for. I would highly recommend using Expert Africa and when I decide to take my next safari, I will be using them again!"

"My Apr 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 21 Apr 2023 and 8 May 2023
"We love Botswana and a good part of that is Expert Africa.
The service and attention to detail is outstanding and really lends to the enjoyment of the trip . We will always use them for our trips to Southern Africa ( this was our fourth trip with them). They truly are expert in the area. Also Tracy Lederer is a great friend and guide for us, making it easy and super fun." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Our Nov 2022 Okavango trip"
I visited Botswana between 14 Nov 2022 and 26 Nov 2022
"Given that we first booked this trip back in 2020, the fact that Expert Africa held our booking with the same three camps for the same period as the original booking was nothing less than exceptional customer service.
We are very grateful to both Expert Africa and the three camps (Duba Explorers, Selinda Explores and Pelo Camp) for putting together a truly memorable experience.
Expert Africa staff have all been very responsive throughout - and anyone thinking of booking a safari in Botswana would be well advised to use their expertise on the country for doing so." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Fabulous trip to Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 22 Oct 2022 and 16 Nov 2022
"We had a thoroughly wonderful trip to Botswana as per our individual reviews on each camp.
We had hoped to see wild dogs on our trip but understand that that is not within anyone's control & all the guides worked hard to ensure as many sightings of animals & birds as possible.
If money was no object we would go back to Duma Tau in a heartbeat." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2022 trip"
I visited Botswana between 10 Oct 2022 and 23 Oct 2022
"This was our fifth trip to Africa arranged by Expert Africa and, just like the previous trips, a big success.
The team members know our preferences and are able to suggest just the right areas and accommodations. The last minute changes we had were a bit of a gamble (probably for everyone) and although an upgrade, looking back not really our kind of camp. The helicopter rides however were a revelation and a fantastic experience.
The camps we spent the most time in (Footsteps and Linyanti Expeditions) we'd revisit in a heartbeat and are among the best places we ever stayed.
Botswana is not a cheap place to visit and our expectations were high, especially considering the fact we had to postpone this trip due to covid. We were never disappointed and, if anything, this trip was again a confirmation that southern Africa is so very beautiful and Expert Africa is the right company to help us enjoy it.
We're back next year." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2022 trip"
I visited Botswana between 3 Oct 2022 and 31 Oct 2022
"This was a marvellous trip in every way, first booked nearly two years ago and postponed because of the pandemic.
We were so glad to be back in Southern Africa and on safari in Botswana again. We can't thank Lucy Copson enough for all she did to make it such a success. She was marvellous and it was so good of her to come and meet us at our hotel at Cape Town airport the evening before we set off on the safari.
This was the first time we had used the services of Expert Africa.
We very much hope to use them again and have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them to others.

We can't think of any, it was all so good." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2022 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 1 Oct 2022 and 16 Oct 2022
"The trip was amazing.
This is our second safari with Expert Africa and we will book again with you when we return.
Our experiences with Kwando Safaris have been outstanding, not only because of the quality of their concessions, but most especially because of their wonderful staff. The guides are fabulous and there is a real sense of teamwork and enjoyment at their lodges." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2022 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 1 Oct 2022 and 14 Oct 2022
"The entire safari experience was excellent and we would recommend it to anyone who has an interest. The level of service throughout was superb and the access to animal life across a wide range of species was truly impressive. Each camp where we stayed treated us with great respect and delivered a five-star experience in a very rustic setting. It was extremely relaxing to be offline without access to our modern digital world for an extended period. We loved meeting with the other guests, and had many lovely interactions while dining on superb and varied meals - many of which were locally sourced. Bravo!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: One small suggestion regarding your trip planning materials - Americans like checklists rather than text. In future, you may want to consider breaking some of these materials down for ease of access.
In the scheme of things this is a very minor point - since we developed our own checklists using your text!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
