Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"Outstanding safari very close to nature.

Expert Africa gave great advice choosing the right camps and guides fitting to our aspirations. Good combination of 2 camps with different wildlife and highly engaged and competent guides.

Logistics worked very well.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Great support and advice - as expected for a premium safari agent. Considered by us (and many friends) the very best safari agent." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Our trip was amazing; definitely the trip of a lifetime!

Everything went really smoothly and it was great knowing that Expert Africa had taken care of all the details along the way. We had more information about the camps (since as cell phone service, tipping policies, etc) than a lot of other guests we talked to who had used other travel agents, and it was great going in with so much stuff information.

See our comments for each camp for more details on our fantastic experience!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Thank you for putting this holiday together for us. You did a brilliant job and when things went a little wrong at the beginning with our missed flight connection you helped sort it out for us even on a Saturday.

I will and have already recommended you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"What a wonderful trip! Claire was a pleasure to work with, especially since we planned everything so close to our departure. We only had 12 nights but once we agreed on where we going to spend the time, Claire was able to suggest 3 wonderful lodges to stay out and to arrange all the ground transport which all worked flawlessly. Everyone was careful to make sure that we were safely passed to the next transport van/driver and to assist us going through the many immigration offices that we went through.

Claire made all of this seem effortless and she was very responsive to the questions that I posed to her before we left.

This was our 5th sub-saharan trip and it was so full of great experiences, people, animals and culture! We really felt like we were gone much longer than the short time that we had available. We felt that we made the most of our time and got a good sense of the different places we were able to visit.

Bravo Expert Africa. We will recommend you to our family and friends!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"Expert Africa provides an excellent service with all the information you need to travel safely while enjoying the adventure of a lifetime.

Maruska Adye Rowe put together an excellent itinerary for us that prioritized the remote wildlife viewing we were hoping for. She was detail oriented and thorough, but also flexible in meeting our requests.

The guidebook and travel case crafted in South Africa were useful and made us feel appreciated as clients.

Thank you." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"The clue's in the title. The expertise of Expert Africa shone through, from the advice of Megan Green, to the knowledge of guides Andrew Harkness, Josiah of Splash and Lagoon's Spenser to the training and commitment of camp staff to the cheerful professionalism of the Mack Air pilots.

Everyone went the extra mile to ensure this was a uniquely memorable experience for a seventy year old who's had his fair share of those in the past.

If you want to feel it's good to be alive give it a go under those enthralling Botswana skies.

One small piece of advice - when the sun's not around it gets very cold. Thermals, hat and gloves are useful supplements to the ubiquitous bush baby hot water bottles and ponchos." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
