All of our fishing in the Okavango is done catch-and-release

"It's not the economy stupid, it's the weather"

I visited Botswana between 22 Feb 2017 and 1 Mar 2017
"Given the extraordinary weather, just prior to arrival, life was made very difficult for the driver/guides, particularly at Nxai Pan, where the vans are required by park rules to stay on existing roads, even if they were so muddy they should not have been used. Ours { Mr T) coped very well. (And was Jessica sent to Nxai to smooth guest relations.?)

Having been to southern africa animal watching on numerous occasions over 30+ years, but always in the dry, a green season trip was very interesting and thoroughly enjoyable, but perhaps only once." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Botswana at low season"

I visited Botswana between 8 Feb 2017 and 20 Feb 2017
"We felt that the London Expert Africa people were following our trip in order to ensure satisfaction.

This included making arrangements for a helicopter lift out of one camp in order not to miss connecting flights (flooded runway).

Fortunately, Mack Air was able to make a short distance landing and takeoff with a regular plane. I'll be back.

Sarah offered two contrasting trip plans which allowed us to choose well in terms of budget and overall comfort. Well done." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"South Africa, Namibia & Botswana"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 31 Jan 2017 and 11 Mar 2017
"Great trip with a great variety of lodges. Twenty one stops in total .

Very enjoyable and effortless driving between lodges. We covered 5,000 km in the rainy season with no problems. The twin cab Ford Ranger was perfect.

The following will be especially remembered
Dabis for the interest and the enthusiasm of the owner
Wolverdans for the situation and for the charm of Thelma
Vreugde for the friendliness of the family
Mundulea for everything about it
Nhoma for the humour of the bushmen
Ngoma for the lodge its situation and management" Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 27 on a Namibia trip

"honeymoon of our dreams"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 18 Nov 2016 and 3 Dec 2016
"Thanks for making our incredible honeymoon possible.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The one thing I wished for over and over on the trip was a bit more slack in the plans. There were towns I would have liked to explore, and people I'd have loved to get to know, but we really did not have time. I don't remember it being an option to add in extra time in places, but this would have made the trip more enjoyable for me.

Also, an ATM map and a tip guide would be helpful. But overall, we were very pleased, so thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Chobe Elephant Camp Nov 2016"

I visited Botswana between 9 Nov 2016 and 11 Nov 2016
"There were a couple of issues with our booking, mainly that we did not receive our trip vouchers until our departure date and only after following it up via email.

There was also confusion about our pick up time with Chobe Elephant Camp. We had made arrangements to get to Kasane and be collected at around 10:30am. However, Justin contacted us via email the night before our scheduled arrival and told us that we were being collected at 14:00. We had to arrange to change our transport to Kasane to accommodate this new meeting time.

When we arrived at Chobe Elephant Camp, we were told that they had actually prepared to meet us at 10:30am.

It all ended well, but it could have been handled better." Read full review: 2 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
