Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"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

"Thank you Sabina and your team with helping to put our trip together.

I hope the comments we have made will be of use.

"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

"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

"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

"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

"We are very pleased that we chose to travel with Expert Africa .....

From the outset Maruska Adye was very positive, helpful and patient in responding to our thoughts and needs. In the course of our pre-trip planning we changed our ideas from making a longish trip round Namibia, possibly taking in Botswana and/or the Cape Region of South Africa, to making a focussed trip to the Okavango Delta.

We appreciated very much the comments and suggestions made by Maruska which enabled us to rationalise our ideas. Her listening to our inclinations, particularly that we didnʼt wish to do a fly-in safari but to go overland, was as much as anything the reason why we chose to travel with Expert Africa. Face-to-face meetings at her office also gave us confidence in our decisions.

The cost of our trip was relatively high but taking into account that there was only two of us, supported by a safari crew of 4 plus the skill and experience of Grant, and that we really had a very good memorable experience, we think it was good value.

We would like to revisit Botswana and, if this is possible, we would certainly consider travelling with Expert Africa and Okavango Voyagers again." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
