"Total disappointment"
No walking could take place at all. The rep from Ker and Downey could not understand why we had been told this was possible. A big let down and even though Linyanti Ebony Camp is a beautiful camp we felt our time here was wasted. We hadn't booked a lodge experience and that's what we got.
Our grades reflect our experience of being let down, not the camp our staff themselves." See all these reviews: 11n in Botswana
Although the guests had an enjoyable stay at Linyanti Ebony we appreciate this was not the experience these travellers had paid for. We should have been informed well in advance of the guests arriving in camp that walking would not be possible. We could have then offered them alternative options.
These travellers received a full refund from Footsteps across the Linyanti and Expert Africa for this portion of their trip. We've asked that Footsteps across the Linyanti / Linyanti Bush Camps' parent company keep us much better informed of the situation on the ground in the future, well in advance of guests travelling.
