"Exceptional time on our first safari"
We went in what was meant to be he rainy season in march but it hadn't rained in 8 weeks. The wildlife was incredible and included an incredible lion hunt and kill. Our guide gabby was super friendly and informative.
The staff were all very friendly and made a huge sing and dance out of my birthday. It really felt like home after a few days." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

The staff singing at dinner was really enjoyable and a very special treat. We even got into the dancing.

"Authentic Experience with great guide"
We thoroughly enjoyed our safaris with "Innocent" our very informative guide. Also the boat trip was really special.
An area that requires some improvement is the food offerings at lunch. A sandwich of lettuce, cheese and some sauce was really below par. The staff were very informal and pleasant. Meals at other sittings were adequate." See all these reviews: 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Great stay at Chobe Elephant Camp"
The Camp sits overlooking towards the Delta across to Namibia. The views are fantastic.
We had a group of Elephants walk across the bottom of the hill one morning it was a great way to wake up.
The staff are very helpful and generous with their time." See all these reviews: 2n in Botswana
"Chobe Elephant Camp"
We could use the Internet for a few minutes as needed in the office (on someone's private computer). Be prepared for the rough game rides (if you have back or neck issues, I'd look for a different terrain).
The boat safari was the highlight." See all these reviews: 3n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia
