Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"Thanks for making our incredible honeymoon possible.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The one thing I wished for over and over on the trip was a bit more slack in the plans. There were towns I would have liked to explore, and people I'd have loved to get to know, but we really did not have time. I don't remember it being an option to add in extra time in places, but this would have made the trip more enjoyable for me.

Also, an ATM map and a tip guide would be helpful. But overall, we were very pleased, so thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"A great trip. All the arrangements worked well.

Namibia and Botswana are beautiful countries.

We hope to go again and would certainly use Expert Africa." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"A good mix of camps and locations.

Facilities very good at Muchenje and Savuti , ok at Pom Pom. Staff nearly all excellent. Lots of wildlife.

Organisation went like clockwork" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"There were a couple of issues with our booking, mainly that we did not receive our trip vouchers until our departure date and only after following it up via email.

There was also confusion about our pick up time with Chobe Elephant Camp. We had made arrangements to get to Kasane and be collected at around 10:30am. However, Justin contacted us via email the night before our scheduled arrival and told us that we were being collected at 14:00. We had to arrange to change our transport to Kasane to accommodate this new meeting time.

When we arrived at Chobe Elephant Camp, we were told that they had actually prepared to meet us at 10:30am.

It all ended well, but it could have been handled better." Read full review: 2 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari

"Really enjoyed the safari. All arrangements were smooth and to plan.

Great to be able to organise the trip by speaking to someone who could advise, rather than just trying to do on line.

"This was our third trip with Expert Africa, again we were very happy with everything provided by them.

Our initial delay was out of Expert Africa's control.

However, the help provided by Tracy was excellent - starting with late night texts and emails then further phone calls. She arranged alternative accommodation and kept us informed.

Wilderness Safari staff at Windhoek airport, especially Priscilla, were exceptionally helpful in dealing with our car hire problems, then escorting us to our accomodation in Windhoek - Bidvest delayed us so long that it was dark before we left the airport.

Priscilla then ensured that our late arriving luggage was sent on to us." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Overall another great trip.

I recommend EA to all travellers that I meet and anyone who asks for advice on visiting Africa!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"This was from start to finish one of the best trips we have had. Our Expert Africa team member Maruska was fantastic throughout our planning, with great advice and feedback to our questions.

Everything worked as clockwork and showed the level of planning and professionalism that went into this trip by Maruska." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"Our lasting memories of the trip will be very good. The Botswana safari camps were wonderful and the negative issues of management style raised in the course of this questionnaire are simply matters of personal preference, I fully appreciate the intent was nothing but good and my alternative view has not caused me to feel in anyway negative about the experience as a whole.

Tongabezi simply isn't good enough, thankfully our only interest in that leg of the trip was to see the Victoria Falls so we didn't have to spend too long there." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Very pleased overall, the Expert Africa planning worked like a dream even the flights were pretty much on time." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
