Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"This is likely our last safari and was a great way to end what has been a passion of ours for 30 years.

We enjoyed new places ( Namibia and Tanzania) , saw incredible sights ( especially the Crater and the migration) , ate wonderful food and met many wonderful people" Read full review: 51 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"This was our very exciting and successful trip to Botswana, well prepared, well organized and realized. All went as smoothly as possible.

We got relevant information in time. We felt safe and being taken care of all the time." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"This was our fifteenth safari and every time we go, we wonder whether we can top the previous trip. Once again, the answer was yes, we can.

Expert Africa's organisation is always impeccable. The camps were excellent - fantastic wildlife, great people.

We had some amazing, unique sightings that included a number of "firsts" for us of the rarer animals." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"NOTHING WENT WRONG! NOTHING! IT WAS LIKE WE WEREN'T EVEN TRAVELING IN AFRICA!

Seriously! Our itinerary was a bit hectic and a million things could have gone wrong and didn't.
The information you gave us before we left was a God send and prepared us for everything.

Really well done, would recommend your company to everyone.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Nope, just keep doing what you are doing.

Oh, maybe ask if customer wants shared or private safari. I didn't think to ask myself as we are always on a private safari so it never came up in my mind.

Tracy - really stellar job, thank you." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"We had a wonderful trip.

We are seasoned travellers to Botswana and Zimbabwe and possibly hard to please. But we loved absolutely everything on this trip which went like clockwork.

We met some great people with whom to share our experiences and can recommend this to anyone seeking wildlife and wilderness with excellent service and very high standards." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"We had a really wonderful holiday which exceeded all expectations. It was the first time we had been on safari and we were looked after the entire time by friendly, helpful and efficient staff, the guides at all three camps were excellent, very knowledgeable and showed us a huge variety of game. The camps were extremely comfortable and the food was great. We hope it will not be too long before we can get away to Botswana again." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Expert Africa advice & arrangements excellent.

Light aircraft transfer was probably not necessary, provided no real advantage & caused restrictions on luggage.

Although there was a snafu in our transfer from Hwange Camp back to Vic Falls, the situation was satisfactorily remedied and the tour operator compensated us with free river cruise and Vic Falls walking tour. Essentially the pick-up was missed but with the help of staff from The Hide and a volunteer from a friend of the transfer company (?Wild Horizons) we were eventually (2.75 hrs late) driven back to VF & met about half-way by the tour company driver."

"A very nice experience!

Better the we expected!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"Only the trip to Chitabe Camp was organised by Expert Africa, but we vere very satisfied with its service. The reason we chose Expert Africa was that they show the open places in the Camps on their homepage and were able to provide us bookings in
our preferred Camp Chitabe (we first tried with another (Swiss) agency and were told that it is fully booked!). We were very satisfied with Expert Africa's service. Chitabe Concession was amazing. Also the rest of our holidays, partly organised by an operator, partly organised by ourselves, was very satisfactory and local people were always very friendly and helpful. We very much appreciated also the low criminality risk in Botswana." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
