Travel reviews by Mr L & Ms S from London
Whirlwind tour of the Delta
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 31-Jul-2011 and 6-Aug-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
The whole trip was a big success. We were torn between two camps for 3 nights or three camps for 2 nights each before we went and I am not sure which would be better even with hindsight - maybe just a longer holiday would be the answer.
This was the first time we have been to Africa without either our children and/or friends and being just two has its drawbacks. The possibility of incompatible jeep mates and the relentless socialising with new people (where are you from? which camps are you visiting etc.) was potentially an issue. We are naturally gregarious and generally had good luck with the above but I would bear it in mind in the future given that all the camps seem to go for the single table dining experience.
Your advice on camps seems to have been very good (unless all the camps are this standard) and as the weather warmed up through the week we thought that for perfection we perhaps should have gone one or two weeks later.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:/b
Nothing strikes me. It was all very smooth and professional.
