Every day brought new experiences and new people to meet. Seeing animals in their natural environment was amazing. The passion and commitment of all the local people we met to protect their environment and the animal life was awe inspiring. Botswana is a country that will stay with you forever.
(more)Ruth Anderson
It was just fantastic from start to finish. You don't often get the chance to sit at a water hole in the African bush watching elephants, zebra, giraffe and jackals having their daily drink whilst the sun goes down and enjoying a gin and tonic with plenty of ice and lemon!
(more)Lynda Davey
The proximity and accessibility of the animals was memorable. The vacation was absolutely fantastic ! (more)Lucinda Reid

Memorable parts?
Walking in the bush to see white Rhino in Matobo hills, Zimbabwe. This was a very special experience.
Tips?
Bring binoculars, sun hat and an open mind.
Local benefits?
Yes, we stayed in small lodges that employed a high percentage of local people and traveling in small groups has a low impact.

The most memorable part of the vacation was having a shower with a
few elephants watching us from 200m away was an experience! (more)Samantha Bennett
It was all wonderful, camping out in the wild , hearing the hippos splashing in
the water outside our camp in the Okovango Delta, the wonderful game drives. (more)Johannah Stretton
Memories are many and varied - Victoria Falls was spectacular. The wildlife - Elephants, Lions, Hippos, Crocodiles and a Leopard to name just a few. Wild
camping and the animal noises in the night. The guides (Ali & Jami) were knowledgeable and passionate about Africa. The blood red sunsets are like
nothing you have ever seen before. (more)Brendan Murphy

From
US $3,965

There were many memorable moments. Camping in the Okovango Delta was amazing, and the walks around the delta meant that we could get really close to some animals without disturbing them. The sunset cruise on the Chobe River enabled us to see loads of elephants taking baths and they weren't bothered at all by our presence. (more)Tim Gregory
The whole vacation was wonderful especially drive through Namibia with spectacular scenery and its breathtaking landscape. (more)Arvind Sharma
Remember that this is Africa and everything does not work all the time. Be patient and positive and make friends along the way. (more)Louis Carroll

There was something special nearly every day, but for me the most thrilling experience was lying in the tent at night when we were camping in the Okavango Delta listening to elephants feeding round the campsite. (more)Ruth Law
I travel a lot but this is the most memorable, amazing, life changing experience I have ever had. I honestly cannot find a single fault with the way the operator managed this incredible trip. (more)Claire Smart
The 'wild camping in the Okovango was wonderful....two days and two nights of solitude, with only the sounds of the hippos in the water nearby, an unidentified grunt or three, and an almost full moon....superb (more)Susan Zilberstein
From
£2,850
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Chobe national park upclose to all the animals.
Tips?
Make absolutely sure the travel company delivers what has been promised or
advertised.
Local benefits?
Only for the last three, not so much for the local people only the larger companies benefitted.
Overall rating?
The camping at the Okavango Delta was really an experience so was the wine trail at Stellenbosch.The rest was a big rush on the safaris, not enough time at Victoria Falls. (more)Jerry Teh
From
US $1,680
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Too many to pick from: unattended lion cubs right next to the road; hyena cubs checking out the tires on the safari vehicle, painted dogs, being surrounded by over 200 elephants and 500 buffalo.
Tips?
We had a lot of rain end of December & early January. Make sure you have rain gear and organize your belongings to make sure you have some dry clothes/shoes. Make sure you purchase enough drinking water for the days remote camping.

Beyond expectations. Fantastic b (more)Bethany Schroeder
From
US $3,115
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The opportunity to be in such close proximity to a large range of wild animals in their natural habitat.
Tips?
It's not always easy to access a bank so when you get the chance, get plenty of the local currency. ATMs are not always reliable. We were advised never to put
a card into an ATM in Zimbabwe = high risk of being swallowed up. Better to take plenty of dollars or other accepted currency. Avoid salads, drinks with ice, tap water - even for rinsing your toothbrush.... (more)Joy Davies

Memorable parts?
Every day was a different wonder but the two days wild camping at the Okavanga
Delta were really special.
Tips?
Be prepared for very early starts and not much relaxing times.
Local benefits?
Yes, local guides were used in a number of locations but obviously driving such
long distances is not exactly environmentally friendly.
Overall rating?
Excellent. (more)christina monson

Memorable parts?
The elephant by the side of the road in the wildlife corridor when we stopped to use the 'bush toilet'. The driver had not noticed it behind the solitary tree
before we got out of the vehicle. I would also say the group of people I was with: the other tourists, and our driver and cook. Camping in the Khama Rhino
Sanctuary and the Okavango Delta were amazing because these were the only times we truly were around nature and wildlife when not on a scheduled tour.
Tips?

Memorable parts?
The elephant "sneaking" through camp one night.
Tips?
Bring a coat if you are traveling during the winter. Mornings get cold.
Local benefits?
The guides and other employees were all local people. Most of the power in the camps was solar, which minimized the need to run generators.
Overall rating?
I had a great time. I saw just about everything I could have hoped for. (more)Geoffrey Yates
From

The most memorable part of the vacation was...The group on the tour, the guide and driver and the numerous elephants we encountered. Okavango delta experience was awesome.

It was all truly wonderful. I was most worried about creature comforts during the primitive stay in the Delta but it was great - no hardship whatsoever. I could never begin to capture how incredible the wildlife viewing is - and it just keeps coming! (more)Janet Stewart
