Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"We really enjoyed it. There were some long drives which got a bit tiring particularly when coupled with border crossings (6 in total) but it was very interesting to see the way the scenery changed from arid to wetland. We were also interested to see how the culture changed significantly once we crossed the border into Rundu province.

When we reached Victoria Falls we felt very satisfied that we (or rather my husband) had driven all the way up from Cape Town over the course of 3 holidays (thanks for the idea Chris).

Some of the scenery was superb - we've never seen such beautiful and unspoilt wetland areas. We considered ourselves fortunate to have seen it at a time of exceptionally high water although the recent flooding has not been great for local residents" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!

After just 24h in th bush it felt as if we had been away from the humdrum of UK life for an age. We have rarely experienced service as good as that provided by Wilderness staff anywhere in the world and would recommend the company very highly to other travellers. We will definiteley book another holiday in Africa in the future.

Suggestions for improvements:

Keep it up! Excellent in all respects." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"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

"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

"It was a dream come true.

Everyone seemed out to make it the holiday of a life-time for us. Despite the fact that they are meeting 'first-timers' every day they shared our enjoyment afresh. That's camp staff, guides, transfer drivers, everyone we met. Thanks a million to them all." Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Very good. The lodges chosen were fine, the connections all worked well and the service encountered was exemplary.

Great time and trouble was taken by Lucy (Copson) to make sure that I got the trip I wanted and nothing was too much trouble." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari
