My Aug 2017 trip
Botswana between 13 Aug 2017 and 19 Aug 2017
"The general game was surprisingly sparse for the Okavango, but we were particularly interested in seeing wild dog and in that regard had a memorable trip.
The recommendation to combine a wet camp with a dry camp was an excellent suggestion, maximising our Delta experience. Support in finalising pre-trip arrangements was superb (Lucy) and ground staff in Kwara Camp and in Maun went out of their way to assist Don with his special needs, enabling him to rejoin our safari group."

"The guide at Lagoon camp was informed, up to date, and terrific in accommodating our interest in seeing wild dog.
It made our stay at Lagoon Camp particularly memorable. We saw the pack hunting and witnessed an extraordinary (albeit distressing) scene of three young lions massacring the young pups of the resident wild dog family."

Despite my being responsible for making a mistake about the dates, the staff graciously accommodated the changes. In addition, they knew that we were particularly keen on seeing wild dog and suggested that we change our 2nd camp to Lagoon Camp in order to maximise our chances of seeing them. And, indeed, they were right!"
