My Mar 2012 trip
Botswana and 1 other country between 23 Mar 2012 and 6 Apr 2012
"it could have been perfect. but it wasnt quite
delayed baggage didn't help but that was BA and Air Botswana mixup but five days late ! luckily I had a spare T shirt and bought a hat at Maun.
stolen phone,...at Maun airport in jacket pocket.
baggage hold not checked at Little Kwara strip.. seats not checked either before take off,.. caused me distress and a lot of work for Chan Gu and other staff.. shame really.
in order.. we loved Footsteps , we really liked Little Kwara , Bushbuck River lodge was agood location with helpful cheerful owner..and good value, delicious food there.. Siankaba was a lovely place to end our safari and get ready to leave...the views across the river and the staff were so freindly.. evening cruise is still remembered.
Thanks Maruska for helping to put a good package together"

"to follow Footsteps it had to be good and it was !
great game drives both Arnoldo and Mike were great spotters and trackers.
we liked the fact that it was small and intimate location very special...again we would like to return
we loved the view from our tent and saw elephant , hippo from our room..
neither of us wanted to leave..
Tabona deserves a special mention...a special member of staff."

"Siankaba deserves a mention as they went out of their way to make us happy..and when I return with my partner will end the trip there..the sunset cruise and the staff were spot on. Exeptionally helpful and friendly..nothing was too much trouble.
We hope that next year to be able to repeat and possibly expand..
agreat place to visit the Falls from , eveing cruise very good , massage exeptional got rid of my fibrocitis !.. good peaceful place .Staff were all pleasant.. we didnt have time to visit the village. Brett and Graeme were extra helpful regards my son Guy...Thanks to them his bike got him to Lumwana.. 2500 across Africa in two weeks !
Plan to take my partner there sometime in the future.."
