Botswana: reviews from our travellers

"We loved our African experience, which was varied in location and captured all we wanted to see and do.

Kudos to ExpertAfrica for the detailed arrangements that went smoothly and without a hitch!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Your website is okay, but we actually used a different one to look up details and comments on the same places you offered. That site was more visually compelling and easier to navigate. Having said that we still used your service -- and our overall experience with you was very good." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"A very well constructed trip, with great diversity of terrain and a very distinct feel to every camp.

The logistics worked very well as did the advice on what to expect. We would come back for advice on future African trips." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"This was our first safari and it exceeded our expectations by a very long margin. The fact that we saw so much wildlife was not down to luck but to on-the-ground expertise by all concerned. The three camps that we visited were all first class and the variation in habitat was ideal.

The advice given to us regarding the choice of country and the compilation of the trip by Nick was first class and the organisation of every element was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa to anyone considering a wildlife safari in Africa.

"First of all we must complement Expert Africa for helping us choose where to go and where to stay, we have had a fantastic time, so many memories . . . .

Everything worked like clockwork - flights, transfers and car hire.

A bonus was being able to dip out of the programme to stay with my sister for a couple of days.

Each element of the holiday - Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, the Cape were all different but enjoyable in their own way.

One thing that worked particularly well was to have the leisurely stop at Victoria Falls at the beginning of the holiday, and the leisurely shopping stop in Cape Town at the end." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip

"The trip was fantastic; all that was expected and more. We thoroughly enjoyed how well everything flowed on this trip and how seemless it was.

All the arrangements were timed perfectly and everyone knew who we were and where we were expected to be. This made for such an enjoyable trip.

We would highly recommend Expert Africa to anyone who has not been to Africa before, or just needs some assistance in planning a trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Simply put - we had the best time on safari ever and would use the service again without hesitation" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"Our 9th trip to the Okavango and twelfth to Africa with Expert Africa. Many thousands of air miles and almost as many nights in safari lodges and never a foot wrong from this most excellent company. Thank you and for this trip a special thanks to Megan - again.

We had another wonderful holiday and our only concern was our stay at Tubu Tree. We knew it might no longer be to our liking but after two fantastic previous stays we simply had to try it again. Compared to the old small formula the new bigger camp does not really work for us.

It is clear things are changing in the Okavango Delta.

Some examples are camps increasing the number of rooms, the distribution of general game and weed clogging channels and lagoons. There always were changes but recently they appear to be having more impact on the differences between camps and seasons. If the changes continue it will be more important than ever to bring them to the attention of clients when planning holidays." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"The trip was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. The game was exceptional and the camps very comfortable. The other guests were mainly from the USA and a wider mixture would have been interesting but I imagine it is the cost which deters people. I felt it was well worth the money as I have many wonderful memories.

It can not have been easy for Chloe to coordinate this trip for us as I was in France and the UK and my travel companion was in the USA.

Expert Africa - and Chloe - were very helpful in sorting it all out for us and helped us make good choices. Thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"A once in a lifetime experience. Though of course do hope to go back (to the private concessions). I love the Africa that I saw!!!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
