Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"One of the best holidays we ever had, worth every single penny of the investment.

We are very happy to have Expert Africa organize the trip for us, would recommend them to anyone.

Megan Green was very helpful throughout, both when planning for the trip as well as answering some queries during our trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Our trip was wonderful and organized well by Justin (in California). He had suggested the order in which we should do this trip and i completely agree with his recommendations.

While at Kanana, "Doctor" our guide asked why i had requested him, and i told him i did not, but apparently Justin had put in a request that Doctor be our guide when he made our reservation, and for that i am extremely grateful to Justin.

Having never heard of Expert Africa before, i was quite nervous about all arrangements, but from the first transfer i quickly learned i had nothing to be concerned about. A truly first class organization that i will not hesitate to recommend.

"Trip as a whole was great!

In retrospect, I would have not spent four nights at Machaba (or any probably), but as I spent a day there sick I'm glad I didn't have to fly that day as well. I was disappointed in the suggestion of Machaba, since I had specifically said I wanted to avoid the 20-cars-around-one-animal sort of safari. That only occurred around the leopards and the lions, but still... I had raised this concern specifically with Richard and he assured me that the guides would manage it, but there was no way to manage it with so many camps/lodges and individual drivers."

"We had a fantastic trip. We had a fairly good idea of what we wanted to do from the outset, having travelled reasonably widely in the region before.

Expert Africa listened well, came up with a good itinerary first up and put us in the type of camps that we really like. You can't ask for more than that." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"We made a fantastic trip!

I really want to thank Megan for preparing it so well and for all the little attentions paid everywhere for our anniversary.

Thank you specifically for our anniversary celebration at Royal Livingstone that was fantastic.

Already looking forward to our next trip!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"After a slight hick up with our pick up from Vic Falls- where we cooked for half an hour in the lobby and panicked about border pick up- everything went superbly smoothly.
Richard dealt with this issue remotely and very efficiently.

We had a great time and would recommend Expert Africa, Richard and Botswana to any potential safari go-ers.

Travelling as a family was very easy- great food, clean water easy to come by- and the animals were amazing and plentiful." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari
