My Mar 2015 trip
Botswana between 1 Mar 2015 and 11 Mar 2015
"Fantastic! I wish we were young enough to return.
I don't think anyone should go to South Africa, without also visiting Botswana. I don't know which "season" is best, but it was great when we went. We enjoyed meeting many interesting people, we enjoyed having the knowledgeable guides join us for meals.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I knew who I wanted to arrange our trip, Maruska, so didn't really inquire or read your brochure, nor check your website.
It was also very nice to meet Ellie Dunkels [Ed: one of our team - as she was on a trip to review and inspect camps] in several of our camps."

"Hard to beat our experience at Kwara! Met some nice people. Our hosts were a bit chatty.
Long drives to get into Chobe, but lovely boat ride and great elephant viewing."

"Lovely setting, loved the elephants walking into camp! Nice boat ride, again. Loved the informal atmosphere of all the camps.
Loved the fact that we weren't charged extra for beverages, or laundry. Probably written into the price, but better than being nickle and dimed!
Good guides."

Tau Pan Camp
"Tau Pan Camp review"

"What fun to be in the Kalahari! Hot, sandy, but so interesting to see and learn about the "pans"; to learn about the "San" people.
We were told "Cry of the Kalahari" was not completely accurate, however, it was fascinating to read after being there and being in Deception Valley.
The wildlife was interesting and to learn how they cope with little water.
Fascinating end to our Botswana experience."

Coming just from the airstrip we saw so many herds of wildlife I couldn't believe it could get better. It did!"
