My Nov 2013 trip

Botswana between 21 Nov 2013 and 27 Nov 2013

Trip rating: Excellent
"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."

"Kwara Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 21 Nov 2013
"i was interested in seeing Leopard and as there had been a kill we went back several times to see if we could find it/them. in fact we did not see the mother, but did see the cub briefly at night, and it was marvellous. Our viewing might have been longer but unfortunately, whilst I realise it is common practice to share sightings, the next jeep arrived at the spot at high speed and so caused the leopards to move away.

Still, the only 3 vehicles at any sighting, and not following any predator which is clearly stalking prey, seemed excellent rules, and we appreciated the care the trackers and spotters take of their wildlife.

The rooms are fine, although a little more rustic than some camps, but the food was good and I would not worry about any tripadvisor reports to the contrary. The staff are fabulous and Hilda was a star, always cheerful and kind and considerate of the dietary needs of the diabetic in our group."

"Lagoon Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 24 Nov 2013
"I have downgraded the facilities from excellent to good only as I feel the pool here was a little cloudy and so uninviting and because of the charging facilities for camera batteries. Whilst there is a significant charging station behind the bar it is clearly inadequate for the camps needs and on two occasions I found my charger had been removed for others to use the socket instead. I understand that the camp cannot be held responsible for the actions of their guests but perhaps this would be less likely to happen if there were allocated "stations" for each tent, or simply more available?

The rooms were luxurious and the staff terrific. No desire went unfulfilled and they even sang me Happy Birthday and make a little cake!
The trackers and spotters are amazing, although I cannot say we shared their penchant for the Africa Wild Dog. However, my leopard wishes were more than filled with 3 daytime sightings of 3 individual animals.

The general game viewing is good too and the day we followed two male lion from their kill to the waterhole to drink was incredible. Both Spencer and Aaron are to be commended for their skills and humour."
