Travel reviews by Mr. G Essex
Wonderful Botswana!
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 10-Nov-2011 and 23-Nov-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
This trip was our secong in Botswana and we enjoyed it just as much as the first.
There were a few minor hiccups, but this is the middle of a very large country and overall, the accommodation, service, food and staff were excellent. Wilderness Safaris really do have the whole thing under brilliant control and we always recommend them - and Expert Africa - to anyone who is thinking of travelling to Africa. We would not think of using anyone else. Thank you once again for making our stay wonderful!!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No! Just keep up the good work!

Tanzania February 2008
On this trip, I visited Tanzania between 9-Feb-2008 and 24-Feb-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We really enjoyed our trip - as usual. The whole of Tanzania was green due to the rains and the comparison with our last visit was remarkable! We had some amazing experiences and a few close encounters, which all adds to the enjoyment.
We had a small problem with Kearsley as the drivers could not tell us the pick-up times from the Royal Palm on each occasion. As it was weekends, the office was closed, and we had to make a phone call to obtain the information.
Otherwise, the whols trip went like clockwork - all due to your excellent organising as usual.
Thank you.
