Travel reviews by Mr dusky sunbird - Middlesex
Mission accomplished
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 10-Aug-2008 and 20-Aug-2008 and I travelled alone.
The mark of a top operator is fitting the right trip to the client. This was achieved perfectly. A difficult spec - a mixed party of 8, including youngsters ages 8, 11, 15 and 17 - most of whom had not been to Africa before. We were tight on high season dates too.
Maruska came up with a trip which really fitted the brief, and scored at least 9 out of 10 from the participants.
Particularly excellent was Santantadibe Mobile Camp in the Okavango Delta - all ages (8-51) loved the genuinely African experience, the fact we had it all to ourselves, and the super hosting/guiding of Grant and Daphe. Well done!
