Travel reviews by Mr. R and Ms. C from Montana
My Mar 2012 trip
On this trip, I visited Botswana & Zimbabwe between 21-Mar-2012 and 25-Mar-2012 and I travelled with 1 other person.
was pleased with trip. spending a afternoon at Victoria Falls was enough time. unless you are interested in helicopter rides, bunge cord jumping or other such activities, half a day is plenty to view the falls. be ready to get wet, it is part of the experience. Mack Air was fun.
Flying in small planes is an excellent way to see the delta. All connections were timely except Air Botswana. If you think the big carries are bad, once you wait for 3 hours for an Air Botswana plane in the Maun International airport, they look good.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
keep encouraging people to ready all your literature. reading as you go along or after the fact makes you wish you read it before visiting.
you might considered including ponchos in the package you give to people visiting Victoria Falls. We paid two dollars for thin, throw away ones. I expect they cost pennies. I am all for local people hustling to make money but it might be a nice advertising gimick for you folks.
