"Cape Town, Okavanga, Chobe & Vic Falls"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 12 Sep 2017 and 20 Sep 2017
"We got what we asked for: the 'Out of Africa' experience, with an interesting contrast between private and public reserves, Delta and Chobe River, without a strong emphasis on the big five. The time of year recommended by Expert Africa was exactly right for us.
We loved the whole experience of the camps. Pom Pom is beautifully situated on the edge of a loagoon and we had the campfire, the continuous nighttime sound of the crickets and frogs, baboons and jackals with an occasional lions roar. Then Chobe Under Canvas and the wide open vistas of the Chobe with river, grassland and a multitude of animals.
Botswana lived up to our expectations and the game viewing was excellent. We could not realistically have asked for more from Expert Africa and the local operators, the organisation was faultless and the whole trip was great." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Our Botswana Adventure"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 7 Sep 2017 and 20 Sep 2017
"A safari is a unique holiday experience and Botswana an expensive one at that! Because of this expectations were high. Several camps and locations mean complex logisitics. Everything went perfectly to plan and those high expectations were met.
The only downside was one bag went missing on our journey out and was only located at Joburg airport on our final day.
We are grateful to Lucy from Expert Africa for all her efforts in trying to locate the bag as British Airways seemed completely disinterested in helping.
Overall it was a wonderful and memorable holiday." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"My Sep 2017 trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 1 Sep 2017 and 23 Sep 2017
"Other than the reservations noted above regarding 3 of the camps, we were very pleased with the holiday.
We would however warn anyone with similar plans, that the drive through the Caprivi strip is long and rather boring. We would not chose to do that part of the trip again.
Mundulea was a new highlight . We only wish that we had visited there on earlier trips." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My Aug 2017 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 31 Aug 2017 and 19 Sep 2017
"We had a lovely trip, with special fondness for the Kwando Camps.
Oh my goodness, they go out of the way to make the guest experience special. The best guides and staff we've had.
Not crazy about Wilderness Safaris and will try to avoid them the future.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
You are wonderful and I'm looking at a 2020 trip to Kenya and Rwanda.
I'll be in touch!" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari

"My Augist 2017 trip"
I visited Botswana between 27 Aug 2017 and 1 Sep 2017
"Without Megan Green's advice, I would have given up on going on my long time dream of going to the Okavango Delta.
Her proposal, while expensive, was one third the cost of a competing proposal from the travel agency I use sometimes for other travel. The other camps might have been more luxurious but this was a very comfortable and exciting trip.

"Wildlife Conservation Safari"
I visited Botswana between 16 Aug 2017 and 30 Aug 2017
"We returned to Botswana again this year to rejuvenate our sprits.
Wildlife conservation in Africa is our passion, but the rate of decline in much of Africa due to the loss of habitat, poaching, drought and other factors leaves us discouraged.
Botswana is the antidote. The wildlife population is stable, the government has a conservation ethic, and the population values their wildlife as a national treasure.
We can't wait to return." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari
