"A relaxing escape in the bush"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 18 Apr 2009 and 1 May 2009
"FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!
After just 24h in th bush it felt as if we had been away from the humdrum of UK life for an age. We have rarely experienced service as good as that provided by Wilderness staff anywhere in the world and would recommend the company very highly to other travellers. We will definiteley book another holiday in Africa in the future.
Suggestions for improvements:
Keep it up! Excellent in all respects." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Expert Africa did it for us again"
I visited Botswana between 17 Apr 2009 and 26 Apr 2009
"We had a great time.
This was our second trip organised through Expert Africa and once again the service we received was excellent. Everything was very well organised by Expert Africa; Susannah gave us sterling advice that was well tailored to provide exactly what we were looking for. The Kwando camps we visited were outstanding and we would recommend both Expert Africa and Kwando to anyone considering a trip to Botswana.
We would also, by the way, recommend that everyone shoudl consider a trip to Botswana.
Suggestions for improvements:
No. I would just like to thank you again for a great holiday." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Wonderful trip"
I visited Botswana between 8 Apr 2009 and 17 Apr 2009
"We were delighted with our trip.
All went smoothly - Botswana exceeded our expectations and everywhere we felt looked after and taken care of.
Having spent a considerable sum of money, we hoped that we'd feel it was worth it, and it certainly was in terms of uniqueness of experience and sheer enjoyment.
We felt well prepared for our trip and all went to plan - I like the fact you send a complimentary copy of Chris's book and also the Notes to Travellers are really good.
Thank you for a great holiday." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Dream Factory"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 2 Mar 2009 and 10 Apr 2009
"It was a dream come true.
Everyone seemed out to make it the holiday of a life-time for us. Despite the fact that they are meeting 'first-timers' every day they shared our enjoyment afresh. That's camp staff, guides, transfer drivers, everyone we met. Thanks a million to them all." Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Botswana in the Green Season"
I visited Botswana between 19 Feb 2009 and 5 Mar 2009
"Very good. The lodges chosen were fine, the connections all worked well and the service encountered was exemplary.
Great time and trouble was taken by Lucy (Copson) to make sure that I got the trip I wanted and nothing was too much trouble." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"Botswana at its best!"
I visited Botswana between 19 Feb 2009 and 1 Mar 2009
"The most incredible journey even for the seasoned traveller who wants a little comfort and luxury. In hindsight, with the small-spotted genet safari, 3 nights were needed at Kwara (could I be greedy and say 4)? I intend to put that right in the future.
The perfect short trip and one that I could highly recommend." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Ros and Andrew"
I visited Botswana between 14 Feb 2009 and 22 Feb 2009
"We woudl have liked to have known before we went that neither camps could cope with us walking the first one as it is in a national park and you are not allowed and the second one we all worked as a group so if one wanted to go for a walk everyone had to we were hoping to have gone on a guided walk on our own as we have done before"
