Memorable Botswana trip
Botswana between 3 Apr 2010 and 16 Apr 2010
"Everything worked as intended until the volcano caused our flight home to be cancelled. Advice from Susannah about which lodges to visit, and the order in which visit them, was good."

Kwara Camp
"Excellent Kwara camp"
3 nights
Arrived
7 Apr 2010
"In spite of exceptionally high water levels, our driver always got us through mud and swamps (and pulled out other vehicles on a couple of occasions) so that we had excellent sightings of leopard, lion and cheetah.
The overall quality of guiding was outstanding.
The tents are slightly smaller than average, but are well equipped.
The boat ride was a highlight of the stay."

Kanana Mokoro Trail, Botswana (this camp has since closed)
"Fascinating Kanana Mokoro Trail"
2 nights
Arrived
10 Apr 2010
"One of the highlights of our trip. Simply nothing we could fault here, we loved it.
Dougie, the guide, has a wealth of knowledge which he shares with an infectious enthusiasm. Be aware that you have to sit in a mokoro for hours at a time, and this may be uncomfortable if you are not prepared for it.
The standard of service - food, guiding, support - from the whole crew was outstanding."

Private Mobile Camp, Botswana (this camp has since closed)
"Santantadibe well worth it"
3 nights
Arrived
12 Apr 2010
"In spite of the 5 1/2 hour drive in, due to exceptionally high water levels, our experience at the camp was excellent.
The whole team provided us with some unforgettable experiences and looked after us very well. Grant is an excellent guide with a wide knowledge of the area and it's flora and fauna.
We will not forget that Grant went out of his way to be helpful."

The San Bushman walk was outstanding. The low level of lighting in the rooms made them rather gloomy."
