My Aug 2022 trip
Botswana and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2022 and 13 Sep 2022
"We have been fortunate to travel the world, and this trip is on our very short list of the best ever - top 5 for sure!
Expert Africa could not have been more accommodating as our plans changed several times over the course of a couple of years due to Covid and other changes in people's lives. Tracy was very patient and understanding and we loved working with her. She is a gem!
I would highly recommend Tracy and Expert Africa!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Hard to improve on what was a nearly perfect experience with Expert Africa.
Thank you for everything!"

Victoria & Alfred Hotel

3 nights
Arrived
29 Aug 2022
"When we arrived there was considerable noise based on nearby construction.
The hotel manager was very understanding and moved us to a sister hotel nearby which was fine and the staff there was very accommodating.
I cannot comment about the hotel beyond this."

"We loved Splash camp and our guide, Mr Gee. Lots of animals including a cheetah killing an impala.
The camp was low key and offered everything we needed. Good way to start."

Chitabe Camp
"Chitabe Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
4 Sep 2022
"Chitabe was wonderful and the animal viewing a cut above.
We also appreciated our guide, Odee, who was very mature and professional. The ceremony honoring the community and us as guests was special and Steve was "elected" Chief which he never let us forget!
The walking safari was fun and we got close to elephants and giraffes while on foot."

"Magnificent! It is an absolutely gorgeous facility and we wished we had more time to enjoy the beautiful space but the animals were calling!
We had an elephant visit us at our private plunge pool, and another night tried to join us for dinner...very cool!
The staff was terrific and we loved our guide, The Big O! He was very knowledgable and he made us laugh."

The gardens are magnificent, and the food could not have been better - especially the breakfast which is worth the trip just for that experience.
Our days were full with activities and the wine tasting was a highlight."
