Trip of a lifetime
Botswana between 16 Sep 2013 and 24 Sep 2013
"I can't say enough about how well this trip was arranged. Everything came off without a hitch.
No delays, no misunderstandings, no confusion about anything.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
This was a comprehensive, professional job from start to finish. Megan understood exactly what we were looking for in a trip and delivered exactly what we hoped for on all fronts.
I travel for a living and know how things can sometimes go wrong. But everything was simply perfect."

Khwai Lediba
"Best safari of our entire trip"
3 nights
Arrived
19 Sep 2013
"What makes this place special are the people. It is a small camp--just six tents--so you really get to know the wonderful staff intimately. They join the guests for meals, so it feels like you are eating with family. Special kudos to Mercy, the camp manager, Kwest, the big boss, and Mwamo, our incredible guide. He has only been doing it for six months, but he is a complete natural at it.
Mention a type of animal you would like to see, and he seems to magically find one--in the pitch black dark, just by waving a flashlight into the bush. The entire camp sings a welcoming song upon your arrival, and wishes you off on departure with yet another song and dance.
We loved every minute of our stay."

Shinde Footsteps
"Private safari!"
2 nights
Arrived
22 Sep 2013
"The walks were fine, but what makes Footsteps special is the exclusivity. There are no other camps in this concession, so you have the animals to yourself.
The service is a bit formal for our taste, but maybe British travelers will prefer it. That said, they conjured up a memorable private, romantic dinner for two on our last night. I still don't know how they arranged for the elephant to walk by between courses!"

Muchenje strikes just the right balance between simplicity and luxury. The location, at the far end of Chobe, means you aren't competing with a dozen other jeeps for views of the animals. You have the western end practically to yourself."
