"A Great Trip to Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 29 Apr 2009 and 6 May 2009
"This is our 4 trip to Africa having previously been to S.Africa, Kenya and Namibia and this was the best. We were guided by Lucy at Expert Africa as to which camps to stay at and she did a great job.
The quality of service was incredible, everyone made you feel special. All the camps were different and had something special to offer. Food was great. As far as we are concerned this was one of our best holidays." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Expert Africa did it for us again"
I visited Botswana between 17 Apr 2009 and 26 Apr 2009
"We had a great time.
This was our second trip organised through Expert Africa and once again the service we received was excellent. Everything was very well organised by Expert Africa; Susannah gave us sterling advice that was well tailored to provide exactly what we were looking for. The Kwando camps we visited were outstanding and we would recommend both Expert Africa and Kwando to anyone considering a trip to Botswana.
We would also, by the way, recommend that everyone shoudl consider a trip to Botswana.
Suggestions for improvements:
No. I would just like to thank you again for a great holiday." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Wonderful trip"
I visited Botswana between 8 Apr 2009 and 17 Apr 2009
"We were delighted with our trip.
All went smoothly - Botswana exceeded our expectations and everywhere we felt looked after and taken care of.
Having spent a considerable sum of money, we hoped that we'd feel it was worth it, and it certainly was in terms of uniqueness of experience and sheer enjoyment.
We felt well prepared for our trip and all went to plan - I like the fact you send a complimentary copy of Chris's book and also the Notes to Travellers are really good.
Thank you for a great holiday." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Another excellent trip"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 17 Sep 2008 and 9 Oct 2008
"We always enjoy our trips that you organise, but this year, in particular, we felt that it was your influence that got us the choice accommodation sites at the camps and lodges. Especially the Mukwae. We couldn't be so lucky all the time.
We appreciate the time and effort you must put in to find the camps that we would like." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia a great African destination"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 13 Jun 2008 and 4 Jul 2008
"Just to say we are all back from our trip to Africa and we had a terrific time, saw some fabulous animals and birds.
As a country I think it is probably the best in Southern Africa to visit as it has terrific game viewing, contrasts in scenery, friendly peoply, a feeling of safety and all at a reasonable price.
Suggestions for improvement:
Just keep doing what you are doing altthough it might be worth telling clients about the potential upgrade on Air Namibia as it is not necessarily offered, we found out about it through Trip Advisor or a similar site.
But overall thanks for a great holiday" Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
