My Aug 2012 trip
Botswana between 22 Aug 2012 and 3 Sep 2012
"Very satisfactory.
The number of animals and birds we saw was amazing. Guides and trackers very knowledgeable and considerate. My only complaint is that I now have 1,500 photos to sort out!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Megan was extremely helpful with organising our travel arrangements and the camps we stayed - it would have been difficult to choose the camps from your brochure without her help. Nxabega camp had an incorrect date for our departure but this was efficiently corrected"

"18hr mains power with battery power after 11pm. 24 hr hot water. Hair drier in room.
