All of our fishing in the Okavango is done catch-and-release

"Exceptional experience."

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 14 Apr 2015 and 23 Apr 2015
"I cannot say enough to about this trip.

So many truly exceptional experiences, so many kind, warm people, the beauty of the region is astounding as is the amount of wildlife to be viewed. The diversity of the forests, grasses, plants and trees is also spectacular. All the guides and trackers were knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. There were nice connections and nice moments.

Without a doubt I will return to this area and without a doubt I will use Expert Africa.

Not really. Nick was always so timely, informative and attentive. It has been a pleasure working with him over this past year. Also, it is nice to have found a company where I can refer people and be assured that they will receive the best treatment.

Thank you all so much." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Our Easter Safari Vacation"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 3 Apr 2015 and 17 Apr 2015
"We had a great holiday. Everything was better than our expectations ( except Vumbura Plains ).

One suggestion: when the kids are young, less than 12, I would limit the safari days to 6.

"My Apr 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 2 Apr 2015 and 11 Apr 2015
"We had an excellent trip. Of course the object and highlight is to see and enjoy the Okavango delta and its wildlife which we did absolutely.

The organisational skills and expertise of Expert Africa who also gave sound advice on choice of safari lodges, allowed this to be a pleasurable and stress-free experience.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Carry on ! I wonder if there is any scope to encourage lodges to construct hides. Spending time waiting to see what comes by a waterhole say would be good for photographers and others on occasion." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Excellent safari holiday"

I visited Botswana between 25 Mar 2015 and 5 Apr 2015
"Had a great time and enjoyed the contrasts of the Kalahari, Delta and Savuti.

Good choice of camps and lodges and guiding was great.

Our first safari in wet season but was not normal as had been drier than usual which reduced options for activities in the delta but on the flip side made finding cats easier." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Excellent short break in Savute"

I visited Botswana between 18 Mar 2015 and 24 Mar 2015
"Had a lovely short (4 day) africa trip booked at the last minute on a whim.

Would totally recommend Savute, especially if the channel starts to flow again. But be aware that you're in a national park so not totally away from other visitors and some restrictions (no off-road, back by dusk). But nothing we weren't aware of ahead of time and in no way an issue for us.

would be nice to have the booking form online and not need to fill it in again every time we take an Expert Africa trip :-)" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"My Mar 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana between 1 Mar 2015 and 11 Mar 2015
"Fantastic! I wish we were young enough to return.

I don't think anyone should go to South Africa, without also visiting Botswana. I don't know which "season" is best, but it was great when we went. We enjoyed meeting many interesting people, we enjoyed having the knowledgeable guides join us for meals.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I knew who I wanted to arrange our trip, Maruska, so didn't really inquire or read your brochure, nor check your website.

It was also very nice to meet Ellie Dunkels [Ed: one of our team - as she was on a trip to review and inspect camps] in several of our camps." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"A truly amazing Safari"

I visited Botswana between 28 Feb 2015 and 9 Mar 2015
"This was one of the best holidays I have ever taken, I thank Chloe for the choice of the camps and the itinerary worked brilliantly. i really enjoyed visiting the different types of camp and seeing (if only briefly) the different areas of Botswana. I know I will be back.

Even though I gave some negative comments, I truly believe if Vumbura renews the furnishings and improves their maintenance it will be a Premium camp. The location and wildlife were some of the best on the trip, also the managers were really trying to do their best in a changing situation in the midst of construction.

I don't intend to let the attitude of the managers at the Savute Safari Lodge affect my enjoyment and memories of the time I spent there, I met some interesting and friendly guests at the lodge and saw great wildlife and the third guide OB was one of the better guides of the trip. Travelling as a single person has it's challenges and I know that, it was the unexpected contrast with how I had been treated at the other camps that made it such an unpleasant surprise.

All in all it was a great experience and I would repeat it tomorrow if I had the chance!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari
