My Jul 2024 trip
South Africa and 1 other country between 9 Jul 2024 and 20 Jul 2024
"This was the most amazing trip. We saw so much wildlife the highlights being the cheetah the sable and the baby elephant giraffe hippo and lion cubs. We experienced being very close to lions and a little too close to elephants. My only disappointment was not seeing the wild dogs but they had moved out of the area and also not seeing a leopard. Our guides did everything they could to find the leopard and we did spend time tracking but if they don’t want to be found then no amount of searching will get that sighting."

Tau Pan Camp

"Our stay at Tau Pan was very good. The facilities were great and the staff were so welcoming and friendly we felt very much at home. The lodge overlooks the waterhole and watching giraffe kudu and other animals and birds visiting was very interesting
Our guide Skills and tracker Scouper were informative and made the best of the harsh conditions in the Kalahari. Due to the area being a national park there was no off roading so often the wildlife was in the distance. However we were lucky enough to see lions by the roads as well as other large wildlife"

Kwara Camp
"Kwara Camp review"

Arrived

"It is difficult to find the words to describe Kwara and the Okavanga Delta. All I can say is it is magical and everything I hoped it would be.
The camp the staff and the food were excellent. We were totally spoilt and made to feel individual and special. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
The game drives were exceptional. Our Guide Rodgers and Tracker Freeman took time to explain the lives of the wildlife along with the vegetation. They were very happy to answer any question however basic they were."

"Very happy with the City Lodge. We just needed a place to spend our stop over so this hotel provided us with what we needed. The breakfast was very good with a large selection of options from hot to cold.
On our return stop over we had dinner in the restaurant which was also very good. Our flight was not till the evening so we needed somewhere to spend our waiting hours. The weather was nice so we were able to sit by the pool and relax before our journey home""
