Linda Sykes review 19 Apr 2012
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Okavango Delta, in the mokoros at dawn. The late afternoon boat trip on the Chobi river, and watching a family of elephants with their babies.
Vic Falls was pretty impressive also.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
It gets dark early, you always seem to be packing up in the dark and finding things in the tent is a bit of a challenge. Make sure you stick to the suggested packing limit (12kg) and take really good torches / lights for your tent, with spare batteries.
Water is limited when wild camping so you cannot have a shower every day. Ladies, you cannot get out of your tent at night for the loo, when wild camping. I found a funnel and ziploc freezer bag worked v well, tho you could try the sheewee!!
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we had local people in the delta to pole the mokoros and used local guides.
We left all of the campsites as we found them, with no trace of rubbish and used eco-friendly products.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Brilliant, far exceeded my expectations.
