My Feb 2018 trip

Botswana and 1 other country between 11 Feb 2018 and 2 Mar 2018

The Elephant Camp

The Elephant Camp

"The Elephant Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 12 Feb 2018
"Only two nights at this camp, but activities available were excellent.

One minor point I would make is that the tour off the falls was to short at 1.5 hours
We could happily have spent more time there, otherwise all activities we took were excellent. Especially the interaction with the elephants."
