Our Jun 2022 trip
Botswana between 21 Jun 2022 and 3 Jul 2022
"This was a successful holiday that delivered some great experiences. All the arrangements for travelling and being met worked well.
The quality of the food and drink was excellent.
Wildlife is about birds as well as big cats - and there are many to be seen.
Camp staff and guides gave high standard of service and we were well looked after at all times. The people were invariably friendly and welcoming."

"A special place with remarkable experiences.
Particularly memorable for the meerkats.
Also the walk and talk with the bushmen (and women).
More wildlife than we had expected. Manager particularly engaging."

"Located on the Kwando River, this was a very welcoming place, and we were well looked after.
Our guide was accompanied by a tracker/spotter colleague, and they managed to locate some special sightings, particularly the wild dogs (with puppies).
From our tent verandah we could watch the hippos in the river."

"We had a great time here. Hippos munch in the river just outside the tent, and antelope roam immediately outside.
It was colder than we had expected.
We appreciated the hot water bottles on early morning drives, and at bedtime.
Staff very attentive and helpful."

It is the home for a giraffe project. We enjoyed learning from the project managers about their work and plans.
Being a fenced reserve, there are no predators."
