A Magical experience in Botswana
Botswana and 1 other country between 30 Apr 2009 and 14 May 2009
"It was our 3rd safari experience and it was everything we hoped it would be
Suggestions for improvement:
Although your pre trip information was excellent I wish someone had reinforced how little we needed in the way of clothes. Because there was no need or time to change for dinner we could have left a lot of our clothes at home. We really didn't need our 20 kg"

Lagoon Camp
"Great camp in lovely setting"
3 nights
Arrived
4 May 2009
"All the staff and guides worked very hard to make our stay memorable
The setting was very pretty looking out on to the river
A highlight was seeing the hippos walking on the river bed viewed from the double decker boat
As such importance is placed on first names it would be helpful if ALL staff wore name badges because it gets very confusing when moving from camp to camp to remember names and reciprocate the great friendliness that the Batswana showed to us. This comment applies to all the camps we visited"

Kwara Camp
"Idyllic setting at Kwara"
3 nights
Arrived
10 May 2009
"We loved sitting on our terrace overlooking the water hole at siesta time watching Hippos crocodiles baboons Impala come to us
The staff again were so friendly and interesting Janet was a delight.
Jacob was an excellent guide and worked hard to find the animals
We did feel that some drives were cut short to enable other guests to catch a transfer
The mokoro ride was disappointing because it was so short
We thought the early morning porridge was brilliant
We preferred this arrangement with the cooked breakfast after the safari, to having lunch as we did at Stanleys"

The A La Carte restaurant was dismal with 3 T.V.s on so we ate at the Royal Livingstone a much better ambience."
