"Botswana Nov 2008"
I visited Botswana between 31 Oct 2008 and 17 Nov 2008
"Absolutely excellent ! The wildlife experience and quality of accomodation were superb.
Expert Africa were extremely helpful and knowledgable in getting the itinerary we wanted and dealing with all the questions we had.
Suggestions for improvement:
On your website I would suggest you try and give more details on the wildlife a visitor might expect to see with a bit of luck at each camp." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Botswana safari

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 30 Oct 2008 and 27 Nov 2008
"We felt that the trip to Botswana/Livingstone was extremely expensive.
We were somewhat dismayed that at every turn someone was there with their hands out. It was particularly annoying to have to tip spotters who did not do anything. We much prefer the European systen of tipping only when something special has been done. All the other people we met on the trip felt the same way. Everyone found the tipping part to be very stressful. This was discussed over sundowners with all the other guests. Since these camps are so expensive, at least make tipping an exception and not the rule." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 15 on a Botswana safari

"BotsOct08"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 24 Oct 2008 and 2 Nov 2008
"As a whole the trip was excellent. A lot of conversations and emails went back and forth in the planning stage (thank you for your patience!) to get exactly what we wanted and all of that planning was definitely worth it as the camps hit the mark perfectly on what we were looking for. Proving the detailed knowledge basis of the staff was a strong contributor to the trips overall success.
I was cautious particularly since I was introducing some friends to Bots for the first time. I believe they were extremely impressed with what's on offer and will return to Africa again." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"Namibia & Botswana 2008"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 17 Oct 2008 and 11 Nov 2008
"Our trip was superbly organised and the assistance that we received with our planning was first class. The trip ran very smoothly and was stress free. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the gravel roads in Namibia and found the whole of our Namibian experience very fulfilling. It was very varied and our choice of time of year meant that we saw far more than we could possibly have hoped for in Etosha.
After that Botswana was a slight anti-climax and appeared very over-priced by comparison with what we had experienced in Namibia. With the benefit of hindsight we also felt that 9 days of game drives was too repetitive.
Our poor experience at Kwara we feel was entirely due to the poor manager and housekeeper and could not have been foreseen by Expert Africa." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
