Just one comment. I would not particularly recommend the guest house we stayed in for one night at Johannesburg. We felt the dinner was a rip-off and the accommodations were only acceptable. The transportation to and from the airport, ...Read more about this whole safari

We didn't know what to expect on our trip and what a wonderful experience we had. Maruska did a fantasic job creating an itinerary that matched our interests and our budget. We enjoyed all of our accommodations, tours, etc....Read more about this whole safari
Wonderful trip to Botswana
Mrs P and Family from Arizona
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 16 Jun 2009 and 29 Jun 2009 and I travelled with 5 other people.
We loved our trip! Although I had a pretty good idea of the camps I wanted to stay at, Susannah helped me to select Tau Pan for the desert camp, and I felt that she would have been willing to spend all the time required if I had ...Read more about this whole safari

We were not scheduled to go to Chitabe lodge however we were transferred there after it became clear that the Siba camp was unacceptable for a 3 day stay. The chitabe camp was EXCELLENT. Our guide, Ebs, was fabulous. The game ...Read more about this whole safari

Because we were traveling on our own to Livingstone, Zambia prior to the start of our Botswana adventure we needed to make arrangements to travel from Livingstone to Kasane, Botswana and back again by ground transport. These arrangements ...Read more about this whole safari
My Oct 2008 trip
Mr & Mrs B - BC, Canada
On this trip, I visited Botswana, Zambia between 30 Oct 2008 and 27 Nov 2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We felt that the trip to Botswana/Livingstone was extremely expensive. We were somewhat dismayed that at every turn someone was there with their hands out. It was particularly annoying to have to tip spotters who did not do anything...Read more about this whole safari

Trip of a lifetime

If you are interested in birds or anything other than just large game animals, consider arranging a private guide. With a group, the guide does not tend to devote much time to small birds. Late August/early September daytime weather ...Read more about this whole safari
We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
