The most memorable part of the holiday was having the guide/driver share their passion for the countries we visited and their people. Also sharing their in depth knowledge about the wildlife. Food the guides cooked was delicious ! Great variety of safari, river cruises, desert, delta and village life. Be prepared for early starts and some long days.
(more)Rosalind Martin
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
From
£2,260
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
tourists... (more)Nicolas Ward

£1,535

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
Seeing the animals at very very close quarters, led by very knowledgeable guides was the most memorable part of the trip.
(more)Michael Thompson
From
£2,990
excluding flights
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

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
£3,580
excluding flights
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
From
£1,270
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?
I didn't really... (more)Barbara Bilgre

The outstanding guide, fabulous places and opportunities to see wildlife, a great local team and a fun group of fellow travellers, all helped make it a hugely memorable and life changing experience. (more)Alison Browning
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
From
£2,220
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
From
£1,195
excluding flights
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?

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 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
From
£3,175
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
Fun and relaxation on boat. Beaches and sea.
Tips?
Cabin can be hot -Sleeping on deck more pleasant bring ear plugs and travel pillow
Local benefits?
Not really - perhaps money in restaurants in evening
Overall rating?
(more)Joanna Benn
From
£2,345
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
£9,510
including UK flights
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
£2,835
excluding flights
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
From
£4,250
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Seeing a bull elephant, up to his shoulders in the river, eating papyrus about 3m from our small boat
Tips?

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

I can't wait to return to Africa with these operators. It is a unique and special way to see a country and feel the local vibe. Extensive overland travel gives more than a taste of the local culture and enables one to experience a very different way of life than we are used to in the western world. (more)Honey Bernstein
It was all pretty memorable - for positive reasons! Well organised, excellent guide - and the group of us gelled well. (more)Rachel Balen
Botswana is a fantastic country and we had a brilliant guide who was happy to share his knowledge about the different countries, animals and places we travelled through. (more)Anna Downie

There were SO many highlights. Possibly the most memorable part was our 2 night stay in the Okavango Delta. A short but amazing helicopter flight over the delta (optional, at extra cost) gave us the perfect overview before our mekoro (poled canoe) journey to the island, where the so-called basic facilities proved quite reasonable.

Tips?
Do it! If you are visiting both Chobe and Okavango Delta then I would suggest going to Chobe first as Okavango Delta is so much better in my opinion.
If you are travelling from Kasane to Victoria Falls consider flying as the wait at the border is a long stand in the hot sun (2 hours for us).
If considering staying on Chobe Princess check to reviews to see if quality of accommodation lives up to advertising.

Most memorable moments were the sunset cruise and land safari at Chobe National Park in Botswana. Also camping at Elephant Sands where you can see elephants at a waterhole for hours. (more)Nancy Wiesenfeld
