Botswana at low season

Botswana between 8 Feb 2017 and 20 Feb 2017

Trip rating: Excellent
"We felt that the London Expert Africa people were following our trip in order to ensure satisfaction.

This included making arrangements for a helicopter lift out of one camp in order not to miss connecting flights (flooded runway).

Fortunately, Mack Air was able to make a short distance landing and takeoff with a regular plane. I'll be back.

Sarah offered two contrasting trip plans which allowed us to choose well in terms of budget and overall comfort. Well done."

Camp Kalahari

Camp Kalahari

"Camp Kalahari review"

2 nights Arrived 8 Feb 2017
"It's enclosed and thus is rather limited in terms of contact with animals. The food is great (best we had in Botswana), people are very helpfull.

It lacks the 'safari view' and makes Jack's Camp all the more desirable.

The horses stabled there are under used and could use more of a promotion. The cost seems expensive (it's an add-on) but it is on a subcontract with an outside firm."

Little Machaba

Little Machaba

"Little Machaba review"

3 nights Arrived 10 Feb 2017
"The upside is the view, the camp itself, the people working there. The downside is the semi-private safari grounds.

The 'moobile safaris' from Maun use the same grounds and this can make it a less private experience.

The camp manager is a great guy - talk to him about his up and coming horse champion daughter. Currently moving up in the show jumping category in SA."

Motswiri Camp, Botswana (this camp has since closed)

"Motswiri Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 17 Feb 2017
"Horses! Ran with zebra, observed giraffe, elephant, kudus etc from a saddle. Magic.

Canoes! Paddled for miles on the spillway (wet season).

Even had an outdoor banquet prepared by our team on the spillway in the wilds. Again, Magic."
