"Wonderful honeymoon in Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 23 Aug 2008 and 4 Sep 2008
"Expert Africa service has been excellent (as we've experienced in the past). Our trip was as good as it could have been and we thanks you for all your efforts."

"Wonderful"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 14 Aug 2008 and 27 Aug 2008
"A most wonderful trip but slightly tainted by a very dissapointing visit to Kings Pool Premier Camp. The pure extravagance and oppulance does not compensate for poor game viewing.
If Wilderness Safaris are moving to towards more and bigger Premier camps I trust they retain some of the Clasics." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Wow"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 14 Aug 2008 and 27 Aug 2008
"Wonderful. We have had a short game trip in the Kruger many years ago but this exceeded our expectations. Ian used to live in Zambia as a teenager and this was his first visit back there for 45 years. He now wishes he had returned earlier. Gloria had never seen the Victoria Falls and she thought it was fantastic.
We thought Botswana and its people were delightful and would not hesitate to recommend this trip to our friends.
Thank you everyone.
Suggestions for improvement:
No very happy with the way the trip was organised." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Fantastic!"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 10 Aug 2008 and 23 Aug 2008
"We had a fantastic trip. All the logistics worked out perfectly, our flights from camp to camp were all in the middle of the day so we didn't miss any activities and all the flights except the last one were without any stops and we were the only passengers. The only incident came on the trip back home, when our BA flight from joburg to heathrow had a 4 hour delay, so we missed our connection to Madrid and had to take a later flight. At least they didn't lose our bags!
We really liked the lodges & camps, most of them met or exceeded our expectations, and we will recommend them to friends, except perhaps Jack's Camp, which we didn't like that much: it's too stuffy and snobbish for our taste, the people there need to loosen up a bit. Also, we didn't like that they plan all the activities for you and don't tell you what the plan is when you arrive, it's like they want everything to be a big secret surprise, a bit childish and condescending.
All the rest were fine, our favorite was Duma Tau. I also loved Mapula because of its very relaxed and laid-back atmosphere and its focus on game viewing; my wife also liked it though she found it too rustic and less tidy than the others.
Expert Africa did an excellent job in organizing this trip, keeping us informed of changes (e.g., when NationWide Air went bankrupt and the flight was changed to BA), submitting all the info, etc. I especially liked the "camp availability chart" they sent us so we could figure out how to fit our preferred camps in the itinerary, that was a most useful tool for urs."

"Hard core game viewing and excellent service!"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 22 May 2008 and 3 Jun 2008
"This was an outstanding trip.
It is hard to get used to being a regular person again after all the pampering and I must have put on 5 kilos from all the good food at the camps." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Very satisfactory trip"
I visited Botswana between 10 Nov 2007 and 25 Nov 2007
"The trip was fantastic but the return journey rather long. I don't know why but it seemed even better then last time. Maybe it was because we rebelled and refused to get up at 05.00 and just relaxed in the camp.
Thanks again for a great holiday. We will probably book the same camps for next year except Moremi, perfect, but explanation to follow.
Incidentally we met a young English couple at Nxabega who had booked 'a holiday of a lifetime' through Thompsons. All their connections and bookings were up the shoot. We told them who to book through in their next lifetime." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"everything we wished for"
I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 11 Aug 2007 and 11 Sep 2007
"Great guidance on choosing camps from Maruska. They suited us ideally in terms of standard of accommodation, variety in environments, game viewing, fellow guests.
All arrangements worked out well - the few minor comments are in the individual sheets but given more as constructive feedback than complaints.
Quilalea a great add on but it will be better when there are better flight connections." Read full review: 31 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"The best ever trip"
I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 1 Aug 2007 and 22 Aug 2007
"Superb holiday - simply the best.
The hotels/lodges/transport etc all worked like clockwork. The combination of accomodations suited us well - teenager friendly, good quality, good food etc. People incredibly helpful and friendly.
Would change little in retrospect - probably only a direct flight from Cape Town to Maun." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
