A Magical Experience!

South Africa and 1 other country between 12 Sep 2014 and 19 Sep 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"We thought we might be trying to do too much in too short a time, but the reality was, it was just perfect for us. It didn't hurt that I was named "Chief" at Tubu Tree Camp's Monday evening Boma event. Anna also enjoyed the perks that came with being the Chief's wife, except for the part about presenting me my dinner on one knee, along with all the other wives in attendance;)!

Based on this experience, we're committed to returning to Botswana at some point in the future, perhaps with other family members in tow.

Nick and Expert Africa could not have been more helpful and patient as we felt our way through the booking process, and the result was a truly memorable & magical experience.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Of course, I'd suggest you jump on BA and sort out their "confirmation" requirement, and I'd also recommend pricing "business/first-class" as the primary choice of seating, rather than as the "default."

All in all, a truly special adventure for Anna & me...Thank You!!!"

City Lodge OR Tambo

"City Lodge OR Tambo: Perfect!"

1 night Arrived 14 Aug 2014
"City Lodge OR Tambo was the best possible choice for our busy itinerary. The rooms were clean, the restaurant more than adequate, and the location couldn't be beat.

I'll definitely recommend it to those who have a relatively short overnight layover."

Tubu Tree Camp

Tubu Tree Camp

"Great Okavango Delta Safari at Tubu Tree Camp"

2 nights Arrived 15 Aug 2014
"Tubu Tree Camp more than met our expectations, and their daily activity format aligned nicely with our "biorhythms." The Boma evening was one of the highlights, and we found the staff to be genuinely pleasant and interested in our health and well being.

I was pleasantly surprised that the combination of "Ranger" and "Tracker" in one individual (in our case, Cruise) worked so well, although I would have preferred a bit more of an inclination to go "off road" than was exhibited. Tubu Tree Camp's policy of going off road for only "high profile" animals (i.e., "Big Five") was a bit of a surprise. That said, we were very pleased with the animals we did see (to include a broad spectrum of birds), and, most importantly, Cruise's expert knowledge about all flora and fauna."
