We found everything went as planned.

We decided to travel with hand luggage only. This made transfers and small plane flights much easier. With the washing facilities at each camp and a bit of planning on our part we had plenty for the trip. This is something you might like to convey to other travellers" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"We were very pleased with Lucy's planning.

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!

"Holiday of a lifetime!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"Our 'holiday of a lifetime' was just that! Our experiences in the Delta were unforgettable - great accommodation and fantastic guiding.

The tranquility and beauty of being out on the water in a mokoro; a close encounter with a hippo; driving through 1m of floodwater to reach the camp; tracking lions; spotting a leopard on a night drive; and the total darkness with no electric lights visible other than those at our camp...........Our memories will stay with us for ever. And then the number of animals at Muchenje! Elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, hippos, antelope ....... it was amazing!

With hinsight, it was definitely a good choice to experience the Delta first and visit Chobe National Park second. Our boys loved the thrill of tracking and searching in the Delta, but then welcomed the opportunity to be so close to such a huge numbers of animals at our final camp.

Thanks, Expert Africa, for organising such a memorable trip!

"We have travelled with many holiday companies over the years and usually travel at least 3 times a year and we can honestly say that in all our experiences this ranks with the best of them, from our experience with Expert Afica who were always willing to help with any queries, and all of our destinatiions (except maybe a couple) it was a breathtaking experience for myself my wife and our 2 grandchildren, every single day was mind blowing.

Thank you so much Sabina for all your help in helping us arrange a lovely holiday.

"It was fabulous to return to Okonjima and Etosha - in new camps - and the Caprivi Strip and Botswana were excellent and everything we had hoped for in terms of a different safari experience.

The driving is enjoyable, the people all very friendly and generally helpful and all the lodges did not disappoint. Can't wait to return to Botswana and who knows where else in a couple of years time." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
