"A fantastic safari"
I visited Botswana between 30 Sep 2008 and 13 Oct 2008
""When you do things right no one will notice".
The smoothest trip I have ever done from start to finish, all the staff in the UK and Botswana could not have done any more. To be recommended
Suggestions for improvement:

"Overall satisfaction"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 29 Sep 2008 and 18 Oct 2008
"One of our best trips in terms of the complete package. A wide variety of locations giving us a range of different environments and animal sightings with a good mixture of land and water.
If I were arranging it again I would not have put Tafika, Nsefu and Tena Tena all together - just two of the three would have sufficed - probably Tafika plus Tena Tena to give a slight variation of environment." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

I visited Botswana and 3 other countries between 21 Sep 2008 and 8 Oct 2008
"The booking of Camps Bay was a poor recomendation for a 3 night of stay . After my several sugestions of Waterfront in Cape town we accpted the idea that it was very expensive and not much diference in acess. Wrongly and fortunately Camps Bay Retreat Management saved our stay by moving us to Waterfront Village,with superb location and rooms. This location is near shops restaurants and we allways felt safe. Please thank on my behalf Camps Bay Retreate Management"

"Another excellent trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 17 Sep 2008 and 9 Oct 2008
"We always enjoy our trips that you organise, but this year, in particular, we felt that it was your influence that got us the choice accommodation sites at the camps and lodges. Especially the Mukwae. We couldn't be so lucky all the time.
We appreciate the time and effort you must put in to find the camps that we would like." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"An excellent programme"
I visited Botswana between 13 Sep 2008 and 27 Sep 2008
"For the third year in a row, Expert Africa put together an excellent safari for us (previously we went under their guidance to Tanzania and to Namibia). We have nothing but praise for the genuine expertise the firm brings to the table and they have consistently matched our requirements and exceeded our expectations.
We really enjoyed our whole Botswana experience.
Suggestions for improvement:
None at present, thank you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"Wild Dogs and Fishing"
I visited Botswana between 13 Sep 2008 and 22 Sep 2008
"We couldn't have asked for more from our trip.
We saw some amazing wildlife and caught some superb fish. We saw the Tsodilo Hils, a long held ambition, and the camps, particularly Lebala, are of a very high standard.
Many thanks to Lucy - particularly for putting us in the right place to see Wild Dogs. We would recommend Expert Africa to anyone." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Fabulous holiday"
I visited Botswana between 6 Sep 2008 and 15 Sep 2008
"Exceeded expectations which was tough as they were high.
Expert Africa had listened to our requests to walk and for night drives, and the camps provided a flexible, responsive service having clearly been informed of our priorities which meant that the holiday vastly exceeded our high prior expectations.
Suggestions for improvement:
Advise potential customers to think through what they want and be specific." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"A short insight in the Delta"
I visited Botswana between 6 Sep 2008 and 8 Sep 2008
"The small stay at Shinde came at the right moment of the holidays. After having been driving Namibia two weeks we deserved some rest, and we found it at this camp. The staff look after guests all the time, but without being bothering, quite gentle and helpful.
It was expensive according to what we spent in some other parts of Africa (including Botswana), but I think this is not a matter of Expert Africa, but of the Botswana government policy and the lodge operators.
In any case we received what we were expecting and our feedback is satisfactory" Read full review: 2 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
