The Okavango's waterways are often crystal clear; great for a tranquil mokoro trip.

The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans are the bed of an ancient lake

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

Floating papyrus reed beds create a new experience for every boat trip

A leopard will exploit every possible advantage when hunting

Animals in Botswana's protected areas are generally relaxed around safari vehicles

"Our Honeymoon (Nov 2013)"

I visited Botswana between 28 Nov 2013 and 7 Dec 2013
"The entire experience was magical. We really got away into a much different mindset - absolutely perfect.

We weren't looking for over the top luxury, we wanted an "authentic" safari experience with as much focus on animals as possible (with running hot water ). Expert Africa and Kwando Safari's delivered.

The advice we got from Megan at Expert Africa was spot on, and the Kwando camps were tremendous. In particular, the staff in the camps have a wealth of knowledge, are very friendly, and love to share their experiences with you while taking the time to understand what you want to get out of the trip.

We are both thrilled with the our trip, and while not inexpensive, fully worth every penny we spent!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Okavango Experience"

I visited Botswana between 27 Nov 2013 and 8 Dec 2013
"As usual Expert Africa provide a first class service
Megan's advice was invaluable and her efficiency is second to none
I greatly enjoyed this trip.

Footsteps across the Delta was outstanding.
There were a lot of flights and long waits at airports which I found very tiring, but worth it. On the way out I wish I had stayed for a night at Maun to recover before starting the safari." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"My Nov 2013 trip"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 25 Nov 2013 and 5 Dec 2013
"Saskia planned the trip, and Maruska took over at the end.

Nicely planned - a good mix of camps, wildlife, and land/river.
it was a bit of a surprise to discover how dry Tubu was in November. I was more expecting hippos outside than a dry waterhole.

I'd do it all again tomorrow." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"My Nov 2013 trip"

I visited Botswana between 25 Nov 2013 and 7 Dec 2013
"Generally satisfactory. Some game drives were interrupted by rain, but that was to be expected. As previously noted I feel that Kwando is losing its competitive edge, despite having such top concessions. Perhaps the present rotation of camp managers will wake some up. Charles to Little Kwara should get that camp up to where it belongs" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"My Nov 2013 trip"

I visited Botswana between 21 Nov 2013 and 27 Nov 2013
"This trip was partly self planned with the middle section organised by Maruska from Expert Africa. This is the third trip she has arranged for us and I trust her opinion before we travel and her efficiency of organisation when we do. The transfers between the self organised portions and her bookings were seamless and I am so confident of her work that I never have a moments concern about arrangements - leaving me free to thoroughly enjoy every second of the experience.

The trip itself was truly amazing and filled every wish I had. I cannot imagine any way in which it might have been improved.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Camera charging facilities at some camps if possible, otherwise not." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Our safari trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 31 Oct 2013 and 12 Nov 2013
"Overall a highly successful trip.

We travelled with my sister and her husband, who booked with a different agent. Although this meant that our connecting travel was different, we felt that in the event our timings were better, and the advice which we were given always seemed superior. We were for example advised to book international flights ourselves to save money (unlike my sister) which added to an already highly significant price difference between the two otherwise identical holidays.

We were highly impressed by the knowledge and advice given by Expert Africa, not only on the safari part but also in the remainder of our holiday in the Cape Town area." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
