Exceeded all our expectations... Sleeping in a bamboo tree-house with a deck overlooking the river and listening to the hippos as you fall asleep takes some beating. (more)Carole Thomas
The wonderful variety of wildlife and the magnificent beauty of the Namib desert (more)Clare Price
Truly excellent! There was a good mixed group of people, but overall our guides, Jeff & Tawanda, really made the trip as good as it was. They worked hard,
were up first, and to bed last. Always cheerful and smiling, full of information about the regions we were travelling through, the animals and people. (more)Danila Mansfield

Seeing the herd of elephants coming towards the waterhole we were parked up near and playing, washing and cooling down was the most memorable part of our holiday. (more)Bimal Tailor
The bus catching fire in the Namib desert was memorable. (more)Steve Hall
A river crossing of a group of elephants at Chobe Nat. Park (Botswana). Simply amazing! As a NatGeo documentary in front of my eyes. Speechless!!! (more)Paolo Berti
From
€2,640
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing African Wild dogs for the first time, as it completed my personal 'Big Five' of Predators. Many other memorable moments, too many to mention.
Tips?
Expect very varied accommodation, from tent to 3* hotel. Go with the flow and enjoy. However, be careful in Victoria Falls (the town!) some of the street
vendors are effectively beggars and difficult to shake off. If possible don't walk around alone even in daytime and especially around the bridge area where

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 holiday 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

The most memorable moment was when we spotted a leopard at a distance and we approached it with the vehicle, it was just us and the leopard and all we could hear was cameras shooting and the animal's breath, truly unforgettable! (more)Sara Marques
All was exciting. The scenic view above Okavango delta, Moremi reserve game, Savuti, Chobe and Victoria Falls. Game Walk (in the delta) and all the Game Drives...

Having stayed in lodges in the past I would say that camping in the wild is by far the best way to safari. (more)Rosy Everitt

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
Dune 45 was the highlight. The guides, Adolph an d Victor were terrific, my fellow travellers fun to be with, and we saw a lot of cool “stuff “. (more)David Layne
From
€1,480
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.
Local benefits?

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 travelling in small groups has a low impact.
Overall rating?
This is a varied trip with many highlights, the wildlife viewing and standard of lodges exceeded my expectations. Our two Zimbabwean guides... (more)Robert Jenner

Riding in a makorra, a flat bottomed punt like boat. through the reeds of the Delta, was one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in the world. Also wild
camping there for 2 nights with our great hosts and guides. It was even better than I imagined. But I also could not help but be moved by the "smoke that
thunders" or Victoria Falls. (more)Helen Widdowson
The highlight was seeing wildlife at really close quarters - the time the leopard strolled through our camp. (more)Lis Woods
The holiday was fantastic, wildlife great, the food excellent and although no mod cons you soon realise how little we really need to live day to day and how much we take for granted over here. A very satisfying holiday. Would go again. (more)John/Cathy Baldock
From
€2,590
excluding flights
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?
Everyday brought new adventures and experiences - Very early morning starts meant we got to see lots of both sunrises and sunsets, sunset cruise in
Zimbabwe brought us up close to wallowing Hippo's and a walking safari got as close to a crash of 7-8 Rhino and then walking in the vicinity of these
beautiful animals. In Kruger a pack of very young Hyena were out of the den playing in daylight close to the road. Spray off Victoria Falls from both
Zimbabwe and Zambia side... (more)Vince Williams

Botswana was the best. We want to go back today!! One of the most memorable moments is arriving in our first camp, and barely two hours later, sitting on a Land Rover just meters from a male lion, and nothing between him and us! Just amazing! (more)Dirk Bettels
Do it! Money well spent... (more)Katrin Nyman Metcalf
From
€2,740
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
From
£2,835

Memorable parts?
The elephant "sneaking" through camp one night.
Tips?
Bring a coat if you are travelling 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

Memorable parts?
Staying in Camp Hwange - incredible location, accommodation, food, wildlife and above all fantastic guides.
Also white water rafting on the Zambezi - well worth it!
Tips?

Local benefits?
Yes.

Fantastic. (more)Victoria Kronsten

The proximity and accessibility of the animals was memorable. The holiday was absolutely fantastic ! (more)Lucinda Reid
Most memorable was the stay at the Ottball tented camp. One morning 4 elephants showed up and stayed about 40 min right next to the dining area. Unforgettable. (more)Regina Zimmermann
On the last day, my wife got ill (bacterial infection) which ruined the next 3 days of our trip to South Africa. Everything until then was great and an amazing
experience with the animals, the nature and the people we met. (more)Sebastian Ludwig

The most memorable part of the holiday 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
