Fantastic safari in Botswana

Expert Africa gave us excellent service from beginning to end. The safari experience was wonderful with some of the lodges/camps exceeding our expectations. We saw a wonderful range of wildlife, ate magnificent food and were well looked after all round.

The booking arrangements and pre booking advice was excellent. They were always at the end of the phone or email to respond quickly to our queries. All arrangements on the trip worked perfectly.

Thank you ever so much for your comments, Tim. I’m thrilled that your first safari to Botswana exceeded your expectations – and how fantastic that you saw all the big cats from Chobe to the Delta and the Central Kalahari! It was a real pleasure planning this trip with you, and I’m so pleased you felt well looked after throughout. I do hope you’ll be back to Africa one day – we’d love to help again. Very best wishes, Lucy @ Expert Africa

I’m so pleased that you had such a great trip, especially in the sometimes-challenging green season. I know the zebra migration was a top priority for you, along with time in the Delta and birdwatching - and the rainy season is perfect for both. Your love for small, well-located camps with top guiding always makes for a wonderful experience, and I’m delighted this trip delivered, rains and all! Seeing the migration in Nxai Pan and adding new bird species to your list must have been a real highlight. Looking forward to planning your next adventure! All the best, Tracy @ Expert Africa

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.

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.
