Okavango Delta
Botswana between 2 Oct 2018 and 9 Oct 2018
"It was great to get out of our rental car (Toyota Corolla) we drove 5000 KM from Cape Town via Namibia) and let someone else take care of us. Generally very satisfied with some minor hiccups. Was very glad Expert Africa organized this as we were worn out from planning out trip.from So Africa to Maun. Tracy did a terrific job of taking care of us in a very short time. she listened to our concerns and needs an put together a an excellent package that included getting to the airport in Livingston. I would recommend her to friends.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Since we did this last minute we never received the literature before we left. We saw it on return and would have been helpful.. We made an inquiry to EA even though we were working with someone else. The previous company was not listening to what we wanted and generally fell on their face so we switched to EA and are glad we did, they are pros. Tracy also gave us ideas for places to go in the Okavango Delta (Goma Lagoon Lodge) panhandle which worked out great."

"Excellent staff and willingness to take care of us. Our lodge had a very minimal fan, they provided a stand up fan to help. Could use a enclosure on the toilet."

4 Oct 2018
"The location is good. Our safaris were a bit mixed up. We started with one driver (we were alone) that was not our as good as we would hope. Then we changed to another group and the driver was excellent and enjoyed the other guests. Then were transferred to another another truck for our trip to the sky camp which we did the same stop at the elephant dugout which we had previously done. We waited in the truck but were told it would be until sunset (several hours) so we requested to be taken to sky camp. We were taken but with consternation. Could have been smoother, felt like we were getting whipped around a bit. Sky Camp was fun."

Chobe River Lodge
"Garden Lodge Kasane"
2 nights
Arrived
7 Oct 2018
"We did the Chobe River and the land safari. Only one is need of each but recommend taking both. We also played golf next door. Pretty amazing with elephants roaming through. We had to take caddies (I use the term loosely because they did not know much about golf) but it was a good idea to have them help navigate the animals. We decided the course was probably in the worst shape of nay course we had ever played but it was fun. Right on the Chobe River yet they had a watering problem, go figure. Phillip, the owner of the Lodge, said they had problems. Phillip was great and sat with us a dinner entertaining us with stories."
