Travel reviews by Dr W & Mrs S from Leek
My Jun 2011 trip
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 21-Jun-2011 and 3-Jul-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
I initially used the Bradt guide to research our holiday and then selected Expert Africa from a shortlist of 3 companies -all of which had been given the same brief.
This meant I d felt we had made good choices for our first trip to Botswana andothers commented on what a good balance it was.
So the advice we received ensured we had a very good trip which exceeded expectaions which were alreay high.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I cannot fault the help and advice given by Lucy Copson and Nick Hobbs -nothing was too much trouble and they really made every effort to meet my initila brief and provide alternative options.
Although i didnt choose Africa Travel Resource to book my holiday I did like the ranking system they used, which enabled us to refine our choices and keep within budget. Perhaps something like this would be a useful addition to your site.

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.
