"August 2019 - exceeded all expectations"
I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 29 Aug 2019 and 16 Sep 2019
"We loved ever second of our trip to Botswana and Zimbabwe.
The game viewing in both countries vastly exceeded all expectations, with Chobe providing some very special highlights, while Hwange gave us a real sense of the space, variety and beauty Zimbabwe has to offer. The Matopos were also a great way to finish, giving us time to relax and really enjoy a beautiful landscape. We couldn't be happier with the schedule you suggested - just perfect!
Many thanks for all your guidance, support and help - so very much appreciated!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Aug 2019 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 22 Aug 2019 and 6 Sep 2019
"Perhaps not quite up to expectations because game sightings not as intense, prolific or frequent as anticipated. This may have been due to what we understood to be a two year drought.
Having flown economy, we were glad of the opportunity to relax for 2 nights at Victoria Falls before starting the safari. Our afternoon arrival at our first camp coincided with that of another UK couple who had flown from the UK straight to the camp and, unlike us, were too tired to go straight out on an evening game drive."

"My trip to Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 14 Aug 2019 and 29 Aug 2019
"I have been to Africa 8 times, so have a pretty good idea what to expect. This trip, however, exceeded my expectations.
All three segments of the trip were great. It was our first time in both Botswana and on a mobile safari, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The only (mild) disappoint was how dry things were. We kept imagining how things would look with a normal amount of water. Looks like we'll have to come back again to experience it firsthand."

"Loved, Loved Loved S. Africa"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 4 Aug 2019 and 13 Aug 2019
"The trip was more exciting & delivered more experiences in a short amount of time then any of us 4 in our group could have imagined. We've traveled to lots of different European countries, S. America & many of our own states in US in search of unusual places to visit. We thought we sort of had an idea from film, pictures, National Geographic, etc., but still you can't capture the emotion of being with these amazing animals in their environment. In addition, we really enjoyed all the people we came to meet in Botswana, Zimbabwe & S. Africa."
