Tailor-made Botswana Safari Traveller Reviews

A friend and I were returning to Botswana, with our spouses, to celebrate our 40th anniversary of first arriving as Peace Corps Volunteers. Although we planned on spending a few days in the capital of Gaborone, we also arranged to travel to three safari camps together as a group and then my spouse and I continued on to one more camp in Botswana and then Victoria Falls.

Expert Africa arranged all internal flights and connections from Johannesburg through to the various stops in Botswana, land passage from Kasane, Botswana to Livingston, Zambia, and then the return flight to Johannesburg. All flights and connections were stress-free with flawless arrangements. The camp recommendations - Chobe under Canvas, Savute under Canvas, Nzbega, and Camp Kalahari - were each memorable and mostly exceeded our expectations. Our stay in Livingston - within the Park - proved to be an ideal way to experience the Falls. Expert Africa exceeded all of our expectations that we identified when first speaking with the Expert Africa representative - Lucy Copson. She is an excellent representative of Expert Africa and the African continent.

San Francisco to Amsterdam to Johannesburg to Victoria Falls. Sunset cruise on the Zambeze, Hippos and more. Gorge Swing... Still holding my breath. Rafting the lower Zambeze at flood stage, Simply amazing. 2 days in Chobe at Muchenje, More Elephants, Cape Buffaloe and Giraffes than you could count. 3 days at Okuti / Moremi, Lions were the morning wake up call and Leopard cubs on display for the appetizer for our lunch in the bush. Amazing cultural experience by the best Safari staff. Shinde Camp. Another 5 star camp with Mohagany floored tents "tents" Really! More big cat experiences daily. The Okovanga Delta is African Safari on steroids. Loved our trip!

Maruska Adye from Expert Africa booked the trip of a lifetime for us in Botswana. The Kerr Downey Safari operators they chose were over the top in accommodation, service, game viewing and cultural experince. Muchengie, Okuti and Shinde camp offered the exact Safari experiences we desired. They could not have picked a more perfect time of year for great game viewing at to the locations we visited.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay at Kwhai Tented Camp. Loved every aspect of it. Great planning before the trip. Excellent logistics going to and returning from the camp. Amazing safari rides. Excelent service and always attentive staff at the camp. Enjoyed the little details (hot water bottles in bed, sharing dinner with the staff) as well, of course, as the amazing safari rides. Kwahi Tented Camp was really the hihglight of our visit to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.

Expert Africa made this trip possible for me and my familiy. They were always attentive, responsive to our requests, patient with our changes, great in securing our reservations once we had decided on an option. And of course, absolutely on point and fair with their oppinions and recommendations. They werea lways a knowledgeable and reliable partner in making this trip possible. Special thanks to Lucy Copson in Expert Africa. She was great overall !!!

We travelled to Zimbabwe, Zambia for two nights and then Botswana from Chobe east to Okovango Delta, back to Chobe west , to the Kalahari and back to the delta. This involved getting quite a few flights and transfers, all which were quite painless due to the excellent organization by our travel agent. The lodges were comfortable, the staff welcoming and the food good. The activities were varied and the game viewing excellent.

Very well organized and good communication. I felt the agent listened to us and found the places and lodges that met our requirements.

Amazing safari experience in Botswana. Surpassed all expectations. The expanse of the Botswana wilderness and the African sky is impressive. Once in a lifetime experience. Can't wait to go back for more!

Marushka from Expert Africa expertly advised us on our camp choices and was always available to answer our question. This helped us be better prepared for our tour and involved us actively in the planning. Our safari was a much a realist of our choices as Marsha's recommendations.

We had a great holiday! We stayed 3 days at Machaba Camp, "glamping" in the Delta. We then spent a couple nights in Chobe NP at Chobe Game Lodge, and then traveling on to the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls. We also had a couple nights on our own in Botswana, where we had other arrangements. The lodges were excellent, and the safaris did not disappoint! Our family (including a 3 year old), all vegetarians, felt very taken care of on all parts of our trip.

Given that we were traveling as a family with a small child, I found it very hard to find the best arrangements, but our operator helped us tremendously. She recommended specific lodges that would accommodate children, as well as a desired itinerary that would work for us. She understood our needs/wants, and helped book all the logistics. Given that i was already doing logistics on travel to/from, I was very relieved to not do it all myself, and I was VERY impressed that every single arrangement went off without a hitch.

Fantastic trip around Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park in the Kalahari Desert. For any experienced traveler who like spectacular nature. See details and pictures at; www.recollectionsafrica.blogspot.dk Use translate to English button.

We have used Expert Africa two times. The service is excellent - and eventhough we are based in Denmark, we will use Expert Africa again in the future. We plan the trips to Africa on our own, but afterwards we get good guidance and input from Expert Africa. Finally, the make all the bookings. Perfect syste

We stayed in 3 camps, Muchenje, Lebala and Shinde, for 3 nights at each. All the camps, the staff, the guides were excellent. We saw abundant wildlife, with interesting and informative guides, we had a variety of activities, including a visit to a local village and school. We were made to feel very welcome everywhere we went, and nothing was too much trouble, in fact, as we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary while on holiday, we were treated time and again to mark the occasion. The travel arrangements ran smoothly, as did everything.

Megan Ingoldby at Expert Africa was extremely helpful in arranging our holiday. She was able to give first hand information about the camps we discussed and ended up with an itinerary to suit our dates and requirements. The documents provided were very informative and helpful, as was the Botswana safari guide book. All was packaged very neatly.

We went to The Victoria Falls, first, then on to Botswana on safari. We had no blips with either accommodation, transport, facilities or anything included in the organization of our holiday.

Excellent organizer.
