"Zambia and Botswana - a phenomenal trip!"
We began our journey in Livingstone and then traveled to three camps/lodges in Botswana (Savute, the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park). At each location, we seemed to be staying in prime units with respect to views and privacy and the guides, activities and food were all excellent. Winter in Botswana was a great time to take a safari…pleasant day-time temperatures, no snakes, bugs were minimal and the animals were quite visible in the low foliage.
Before the trip, I was afraid the nights in Botswana would be too cold. The nights and early mornings were indeed crisp, but we dressed accordingly and had a wonderful time." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
"Beautiful experience"
"My Jul 2013 trip"
"Zambian honeymoon to remember"
Really appreciated the knowledgeable and honest advice.
As a result we had an amazing honeymoon, staying at lovely accommodation in stunning settings and experienced wonderful wildlife encounters." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"14 Incredible Days in Zambia"
Ellie was fantastically helpful, even going to the trouble of rearranging our itinerary when she realised that our original booking at Shiwa would have been shared with hunters. Undoubtedly this would have marred our experience there and as it was, we were the only guests, so enjoyed the undivided attention of our delightful host and hostess.
Ellie's suggestions made for a very balanced trip and while the emphasis was on safari, both Shiwa and Livingstone provided contrast, interest and excitement!
