Absolutey awesome Botswana safari

Travelling as a family group of 3 - my parents and I, we spent 10 days in Botswana, combining stays in Kwara, Lagoon, Lebala and Camp Kalahari. We managed to see all the predators at least once in addition to herds of game, elephants and buffalos. During our stay at Camp Kalahari, we enjoyed their unique Meerkat, Bushmen and Night on the Pan experiences and were extremely fortunate to spot a Black-Footed Cat on one of our night drives. A holiday ...

Expert Africa and especially Lucy were an absolute joy to work with. Knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly helpful. From the first contact to the follow-up after our return, we felt comfortable.

Thank you so much for your feedback Silke - we are delighted that you and your parents had such a wonderful 10 days in Botswana and with such great game viewing too. The combination of the Kwando-Linyanti, Okavango Delta and Makgadikgadi Salt Pans was a super choice and we’re so pleased you got to enjoy that mixture of activities – not forgetting the helicopter rides and the horse riding on the salt pans too!

Thank you Silke - you too were an absolute pleasure to work with, and we hope you’ll be back to plan another safari with us soon. Lucy @ Expert Africa

Trip of a lifetime

We had the trip of a lifetime with Expert Africa, and highly recommend them. We felt really 'looked after' ... there was always someone expecting us, and greeting us, and we never felt at a loss as to where we should be.

Our Trip to Botswana

We had two different kind of safari experiences: a tented camp for 4 nights and a game lodge for 3. The quality of service, food and accommodation at both was high, and the game-viewing experiences we had were varied and so interesting. All of our party enjoyed the trip immensely.

Expert Africa listened carefully to our needs and suggestions for our holiday and then were able to design our perfect trip to meet those needs exactly. The arrangements were delivered perfectly. Yet again, we were very pleased with the service Expert Africa provided.

An amazing trip, from booking experience right through to execution of each element

We spent 2.5 weeks in Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls. The trip was such a success, hugely memorable and without fault in any respect.

Rating for tour operator:

Every interaction with the tour operator from start to finish was professional, constructive and smooth. I had a broad itinerary I wanted to follow but this was made a wonderful reality with lovely lodges and excellent planning throughout. My agent - and others I spoke to in her absence - were extremely responsive, constructive, helpful, informative and friendly.

Excellent first safari experience

We travelled to Botswana for a 10 night safari and our experience exceeded our expectations. We expected to see many wild animals, not just the well known ones, and were not disappointed. What we did not expect was the excellence of the accommodation, food and welcome.

Expert Africa arranged this trip for us and selected a great group of four camps. This enabled us to experience different aspects of Botswana around the Delta area. They also arranged our flights, including extra connections to enable us to visit relatives in South Africa at the end of our trip.

A wonderful trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana

We started with two nights in Victoria Falls, where we visited the Falls themselves and enjoyed a wonderful sunset cruise along the Zambezi River. We then spent eight nights in Botswana, staying at the spectacular Wilderness Safaris camps of Little Vumbura and Chitabe Lediba in the Okavango Delta - this alllowed us to experience a good mix of water and land based activities, including boat trips, mokoro trips as well as excellent game drives...

The wildlife, bird life, scenery and landscapes were awesome. We finished with a two night cruise along the Chobe River, where we experienced spectacular sunsets and landscapes.

Expert Africa were excellent in designing this wonderful trip - their advice and support is greatly appreciated. Their intimate knowledge of the country and camps, as well as their excellent publications and website, were invaluable in designing a great itinerary.

Wonderful interpretation of what we wanted to do on our trip - all places booked delivered beyond our expectations. Great trip.

Wonderful first trip to Africa and on safari - Africa is a special place and our safari lodges were among the best places to experience it in its beauty and wildness.
