Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"As usual Expert Africa provide a first class service
Megan's advice was invaluable and her efficiency is second to none
I greatly enjoyed this trip.

Footsteps across the Delta was outstanding.
There were a lot of flights and long waits at airports which I found very tiring, but worth it. On the way out I wish I had stayed for a night at Maun to recover before starting the safari." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Saskia planned the trip, and Maruska took over at the end.

Nicely planned - a good mix of camps, wildlife, and land/river.
it was a bit of a surprise to discover how dry Tubu was in November. I was more expecting hippos outside than a dry waterhole.

I'd do it all again tomorrow." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Generally satisfactory. Some game drives were interrupted by rain, but that was to be expected. As previously noted I feel that Kwando is losing its competitive edge, despite having such top concessions. Perhaps the present rotation of camp managers will wake some up. Charles to Little Kwara should get that camp up to where it belongs" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"This trip was partly self planned with the middle section organised by Maruska from Expert Africa. This is the third trip she has arranged for us and I trust her opinion before we travel and her efficiency of organisation when we do. The transfers between the self organised portions and her bookings were seamless and I am so confident of her work that I never have a moments concern about arrangements - leaving me free to thoroughly enjoy every second of the experience.

The trip itself was truly amazing and filled every wish I had. I cannot imagine any way in which it might have been improved.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Camera charging facilities at some camps if possible, otherwise not." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Great variety and accommodations, especially given limited time available and sort of last minute booking. Maruska's excellent; courteous, informed, proactive, responsive, creative, etc." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"Overall a highly successful trip.

We travelled with my sister and her husband, who booked with a different agent. Although this meant that our connecting travel was different, we felt that in the event our timings were better, and the advice which we were given always seemed superior. We were for example advised to book international flights ourselves to save money (unlike my sister) which added to an already highly significant price difference between the two otherwise identical holidays.

We were highly impressed by the knowledge and advice given by Expert Africa, not only on the safari part but also in the remainder of our holiday in the Cape Town area." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
