Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"we were very impressed with Kwando safari. They were very professional and generally made our stay special.

we were very pleased with the activities and the proliferation of wildlife.

Booking with Expert Africa was easy and personal and the staff are very helpful.

we had a small problem paying the balance but it was soon sorted with a phone call.
Everything ran smoothly and perfectly and the overall experience exceeded out expectations. We would definitely recommend Expert Africa and Kwando Safaris." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"I have already raved about Expert Africa and recommended to several friends.

Everything ran so smoothly and was organized seamlessly. All of our drivers and guides were courteous, on-time, knowledgeable and friendly.

We only had a bit of a disagreement with the driver from the Kasane airport to the Zimbabwe border. He kept telling us that the cost of the visa was going to be much more than I knew it was going to be. Probably an honest mistake but it was worked out when we got to immigration and paid the appropriate amount.

Otherwise, everything was fabulous!

We absolutely enjoyed everything! Thank you very much!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"We had an absolutely fantastic time! Anton's recommendations were excellent! The orchestration of the transfers seamless.
Best thing to say is that we're already starting to think about our next visit to Africa and Expert Africa will be our go-to." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"What an amazing experience!

We had waited 26 years to take our trip to the Okavango Delta and we were not disapponted.

Adventerous, exciting, restful, fun, educational, beautiful, this trip provided us this and so much more.
Each camp varied in setting, style and safari.

Anton ensured our trip was tailored to our interests and expectations.

The staff at each of the camps were welcoming, professional and personable . Logistic support was outstanding and appreciated. Travel between camps were on time and people were there to greet us at every step." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"As per our previous trips, Megan Green was just brilliant at organising our itinerary, super fast to answer emails, helpful and friendly.

I can’t imagine booking a trip to Africa without going through Expert Africa and Megan, so thank you Megan for all your work in making this trip happen and for our previous two trips." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"What a trip! We are so grateful to Sabina and the whole EA team for helping to make this a reality.
We reached out to Sabina a bit last minute, but she was very accommodating. She did a great job understanding our goals for the trip, and suggesting options that aligned with those goals.

Two hiccups in our trip made us especially grateful for the support of Expert Africa. First, our flight from the US was unfortunately cancelled, and the rebooked option got us in one day later. Sabina seamlessly coordinated with our first lodge and flight teams to adjust our schedule.

Secondly, unfortunately due to the heavy rains and flooding in Namibia, Serra Cafema was forced to close temporarily. This happened while we were in country and had limited wifi. Tracy (Sabina was at a site visit) jumped right in, sharing the news and immediately offering alternative options. She negotiated private transport to get to the new camp, all while keeping us informed, but letting us still enjoy the trip. As a result, our trip felt seamless and we didn't have to worry, for which we are so grateful.

The local country knowledge and thorough vetting of hotels (especially the full lodge reports) were incredibly helpful in building our itinerary. The coverage while we were on our trip ensured we were supported when unfortunately some changes were required.

We absolutely recommend Expert Africa, and have in fact already recommended Expert Africa to multiple family and friends.

Thank you Sabina and team!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Lovely trip. Everything went well.

The only handicap was that the rainfall had been exceptional and, unlike the other years when we have visited in March/April the Etosha Pan was flooded, rivers had burst their banks and some of our drives were through deep water.

This impacted on the wildlife and overall we saw less of some animals than previous visits.

Giraffes for example were extremely scarce for the first 10 days as they hide in the trees to avoid lightning." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
