"2 perfect experiences made up for the bad one"
Come back full of different knowledge and experience. When people say oh now you are back you feel like you have never been away I can truly say, I've been away." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"Botswana trip- July 2015"
I want to credit Nick Hobbs for recommending Little Kwara. Without that camp, I would not have seen lion - which was at the top of my list. That camp was not even on my list, but he said they were great trackers and he was dead on right.
Thank you Nick. I will be forever grateful." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"June in Botswana 2015"
I'm particularly keen on Wild Dogs and was not disappointed in the sightings of them around Lebala and Little Kwara.
The staff in all of the camps and indeed all of the people I met in Botswana were helpful and welcoming.
However, I was not impressed by Little Kwara and would not return there. If it had not been for the experience there, I would have considered my trip to be 'very satisfactory'" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

Make it clearer that we would be essentially totally out of communication before we left (mobile and internet)" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari
"My Jun 2015 trip"
"My Jun 2015 trip"
To be fair, given the price it really should have been that good. Only negatives were forced group dining at the Kwando safari camps (given it was a honeymoon we would have preferred a bit more privacy) and South Africa airways being a bit mediocre."

"My Jun 2015 trip"
We saw animals that we had never seen before, met some great people and stayed in some wonderful locations. We cannot wait to go back.
Thank you Megan for helping us to plan the trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"Amazing experience, wild dogs rule!"
Great accommodations, great people and the best wildlife viewing in Africa, if you like more natural and wild environment." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"Botswana - Trip of a Lifetime! May 2015"
The logistics around the whole operation were seamless - we didn't have to worry about a single element of transport as it was all expertly taken care of. We felt very looked after and ultimately very relaxed!
In all, there is nothing here that we could have reasonably asked for to make this trip any better. Thank you guys for a truly memorable trip. We look forward to booking with you again!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
