Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"This was our second visit to Namibia with Expert Africa.

It was a well-planned itinerary and we found that although the distances looked vast on the map, they were feasible. A fascinating trip.

Mrs. V felt that provision of hairdryers where possible would have made the trip even better." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"We were impressed that arrangements worked well, especially in the way we were met and greeted. Wilderness Safari flights and pilots were all of a high standard and on time. The lodges mostly exceeded our expectations; we enjoyed excellent game viewing and met some fun people.

The management and the staff whom we met were all very welcoming, friendly, enthusiastic and efficient.
In short, we had an awesome trip ! Thank you." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"We highly recommend a trip with Expert Africa to Botswana.

The whole experience was fantastic and we have no negative comments to make on anything we did. The planning and arrangements for the trip went smoothly and we were very happy with the mix of camps we visited and the varied scenary.

This was our second trip with Expert Africa and we can't wait to go again. Both the trip organisation/execution and the service was exemplary." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"We really enjoyed our trip and all aspects (except those listed in the box below) went smoothly. The folder that contained all the vouchers and key information together was useful.

With hindsight we should have booked accommodation with AC throughout the trip because if you go out early it is valuable to have somewhere cool enough to rest in the heat of the day before going out again in the afternoon. We probably should have worked this out for ourselves but I hadn't expected to want to be in much at midday and had not appreciated how hot tents can get!

We would definitely recommend Namibia at this time of year to any wildlife enthusiasts and your advice helped us to make the most of it." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"The only reason for the rating of Fairly Satisfactory is the flights on SAA and the problem with Mack Air aircraft, otherwise everything was very satisfactory indeed.

Not really; we will be happy to use the Company again when the time comes." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"We had a wonderful trip. We got what we came for, a lot of wild animals, great nature and an exciting holiday.

A beautiful country with friendly people. It was very easy driving on good roads and no problems occured.

We are very excited and will certainly make another trip in the future.

When we entered Etosha, we saw that big areas were burnt down. This probably affected the wildlife, and we would want to have some info about these conditions in forehand, if possible of course." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"This was the most expensive holiday that myself and my friends had ever undertaken. Therefore, it was very annoying the the first day (of what was a short holiday) was ruined for all of us by a simple ticketing error.

This got the experience off to a very bad start. Once we were all in Botswana, everthing (apart from Grey Matters) met or exceeded our expectations." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Tracy had worked really hard to put together a wonderful itinerary, building to a great climax. All our venues had a wow factor and it would be hard to choose a favourite.

Travelling through Namibia, Chobe And Zambia gives an amazing variety of experiences.

One needs to watch the waistline as one is fed relentlessly on delicious fare.

Many thanks for great service, best wishes, Jane Westermann

Luggage allowances were a problem as we were given different advice. Photographers need to know that they won't be separated from their precious stuff. There is obviously a difference between v small flights and the Proflights to Mfuwe. This doesn't necessarily relate to you but it was the only thing on which we were unclear."
