My Jun 2016 trip
Botswana and 1 other country between 22 Jun 2016 and 4 Jul 2016
"The holiday of a lifetime - such an amazing experience!
Met super people - local and other holiday makers. Took hundreds of photos. Have wonderful memories - would love to repeat the holiday in the future.
Botswana is in a class of its own for wildlife, birds and delightful people."

Lebala Camp
"2nd camp at Lebala"
2 nights
Arrived
25 Jun 2016
"Accommodation and location not as good as Lagoon. Tents a little too close together. Missed being near water.
Great encounters with leopard, wild dogs, giraffe and large herd of elephants.
One evening, the staff entertained us with singing and dancing - most enjoyable."

Kwara Camp
"Kwara Camp review"
4 nights
Arrived
27 Jun 2016
"Kwara was exceptional. What a location! - experienced the delta filling with water, animals and bird life from the day we arrived.
Extraordinary encounters with 3 cheetahs making a kill, 3 lions crossing a channel whilst on a boat trip, a leopard cub and incredible bird sightings including a spotted eagle owl and a pearl-spotted in camp.
Our guide, Daniel, and our tracker, Gomos, were outstanding and a delight to be with.
The camp is great and the camp staff were also super - the manager, KP was also outstanding and great fun. The food was also the best of the 3 camps."

Waterberry Zambezi Lodge
"4th camp at Waterberry"
2 nights
Arrived
1 Jul 2016
"Beautiful camp - luscious green gardens on banks of Zambezi. Very peaceful. Delicious food and excellent service. Kelly was most helpful.
Visit to Victoria Falls was amazing - helicopter ride is a must. Visit to the 4 villages was fascinating - Webby was our guide and very informative. Great that Waterberry Zambezi Lodge supports the community schools in the area.
Would be good to direct visitors to the Waterberry Zambezi Lodge website before their visit to view the list of needs for the projects - we would have taken some items out if we had known."
