Best ever safari experience
Botswana between 30 Apr 2019 and 8 May 2019
"The camp sequencing worked well, with each one being even better than the previous.
Mack Air were very good in providing the air links.
Botswana has it all - at a price.
Would certainly use Expert Africa again."

"Good to see plenty of water after being at Gomoti Plains! River outside had lots of often amusing hippo activity.
Elephants in abundance - even delayed our arrival at the camp and in getting from chalet to the bar.
Great staff and great sightings including aardwolf, jackal and one wild dog."

"This camp has everything you could wish for!
Guide (Mr T) and tracker worked very well as a team and were very focused on finding what we were interested in - cats and dogs!
Nocturnal sighting was excellent too (unlike other camps). Highlight was following a pack of 8 wild dogs hunting a buffalo calf and seeing 2 lionesses with 6 cubs feeding on a kudu carcass."

The terrain was dry and relatively lifeless. Game sighting was below average.
Staff were good though, which compensated."
