My Sep 2015 trip
On this trip, I visited Botswana between 29-Sep-2015 and 5-Oct-2015 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Good
It's a very long way to go, and although enjoyable, Botswana didn't live up to our expectations or justify why it is so expensive.
We didn't see nearly as many animals as we thought we would.

Excellent
Fabulous trip. Really impressed with everything.
I would love to go back to Zambia, so I'll have to fit it in when I've gone through everywhere else on my list.

A memorable stay
On this trip, I visited Tanzania & Zanzibar between 6-Sep-2011 and 16-Sep-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Excellent
The main purpose of the trip was the safari in the Selous and this was brilliant, the rest of the trip was for relaxation and exploring and we certainly got that. It was a good holiday.

Dream holiday
On this trip, I visited Namibia between 18-Aug-2010 and 3-Sep-2010 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Excellent
This was the best holiday ever and worth the expense.
We have fallen completely in love with Namibia. It was my present to my son for his 18th birthday (which we spent climbing sand dunes in Sossusvlei) and it is an experience he will always remember. We stayed in some wonderful places (with only one disappointment), ate some excellent food, met some lovely people.
It was a lot of driving (just under 2,800 km) on some quite scary roads and I would definitely get a 4x4 again, but it was never dull and the scenery was always spectacular, the roads were empty and well signposted. By the end of the holiday a five hour drive was nothing.
I will have trouble finding another holiday to match this one, so I'll start saving for my next trip to Namibia now. Sabina was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout and found us some wonderful places to stay.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
