Botswana: reviews from our travellers
Original reviews written by our most recent Botswana travellers.
"Nov 2016 Safari trip"
Great to be able to organise the trip by speaking to someone who could advise, rather than just trying to do on line.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
All good!" Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari
"My Nov 2016 trip"
Our initial delay was out of Expert Africa's control.
However, the help provided by Tracy was excellent - starting with late night texts and emails then further phone calls. She arranged alternative accommodation and kept us informed.
Wilderness Safari staff at Windhoek airport, especially Priscilla, were exceptionally helpful in dealing with our car hire problems, then escorting us to our accomodation in Windhoek - Bidvest delayed us so long that it was dark before we left the airport.
Priscilla then ensured that our late arriving luggage was sent on to us." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia & Botswana - Ian & Lynda Ancell"

"First Class"
Tongabezi simply isn't good enough, thankfully our only interest in that leg of the trip was to see the Victoria Falls so we didn't have to spend too long there." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
"We had wonderful trip, all logistics-perfect"
"Memorable experiences in Namibia & Botswana"
Our itinerary in Namibia took us to a variety of places and experiences that were all very different from each other, and each worth the visit. In Botswana it was mainly about the wildlife, though we also enjoyed the beautiful setting of the Okavenga Delta and meeting lots of Botswanans, who without exception were friendly and welcoming.
Finally, except for not getting the type of vehicle we were expecting (though Bidvest & Tracy from Expert Africa did contact us to offer to change, which we decided against) every aspect of the organisation of the trip went without a hitch. We were also impressed that the company paid the difference in flight prices between Windhoek & Maun after Air Namibia cancelled all these flights from the beginning of November and we had to be rebooked onto SA Airways."

do not talk down the government camps in etosha as they are the best if you want instant access to the park & have fantastic water holes" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"My Oct 2016 trip"
It was well planned. I was worried we were moving to much but as we did it all made good sense.
We saw more then I could have imagined and the staff were beyond helpful." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
"Our Namibia trip"
Namibians are very friendly people, always willing to help & waving at the side of the road. The nature is beautiful and watching the wild animals is just amazing. The entire trip was perfectly organised. From the planning of our trip to when we arrived home. When we had questions, Maruska was always very fast in her replies.
We would also like to express special thanks to Wilderness Safaris for their support when our luggage was lost. They really did a great job." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
