Botswana and Kenya Tours and Trips

Exceeded all our expectations. Tour leader (Joe) was excellent: locating animals, knowledge of all animals (birds to elephants) with great driving on sandy roads and network of other guides. We saw elephants, Giraffe, hyenas cheetahs, painted dogs, rhino and many, many more. Scenes of a pride of lions tucking in to breakfast, hyenas trying to steal a pack of painted dogs kill and a herd of elephants passing tentatively in front of the jeep made the trip really memorable. Wild camping in the middle of the reserve with animals passing through was fantastic. Best to take USD in cash (we took $1,500 which was fine to include tips). Good itinerary but think houseboat would have been better in Chobe. Camp food was good. Expect early (leave at 6.30am) game drives to have the best chance to see the wildlife.

A fantastic trip which far exceeded my expectations from the first to last day. We saw more than we could have ever hoped for thanks to our experienced guide. We saw lions, leopards cheetah, hippo, wild dogs, hyena, elephants, giraffes. The list is endless, there was so much to see and experience.. The guide and support staff were excellent. I have so many memories, all happy.

I have been on a lot of Explore trips. This was an excellent one for those keen to explore Africa and its wildlife. The guide was excellent and seemed to know exactly where to go to find the best sights of lions, cheetahs, leopards etc. it also included the chance to see and experience both the Okavango Delta and the Victoria Falls, both of which are awesome. Best to be aware however that most of the tour is seated in the back of the Safari truck. There is very little walking and this can lead to some frustration and a need to stretch one’s feet at times. Also the accommodation varies from an excellent lodge, to some very basic tent nights with bucket showers and dug out toilets!

This was a fascinating trip with a carefully planned itinerary and a very knowledgeable guide. The Moremi Game Reserve and Chobe National Park provided marvellous wildlife viewing and we saw, amongst others, leopard, lions, elephants, painted dogs, zebra, crocs, hippos, many types of antelope and a big range of birds. The accommodation was excellent in variety, character and quality. We were always skillfully looked after by our guide Phenyo. His skill in finding and tracking wildlife was really impressive.

Joe was the best guide with so much knowledge of African wildlife and also tracking and finding the animals. This trip was great thanks to him. Great driver who took us through the bush and delta and sharing all his knowledge. He was very keen to show us everything and he even found 8 hunting wild dogs. He was great with kids and engaging with them at all times. Really great trip with kids but would say +11 is required as long travelling days are in place. Accommodation varied but overall this was a great adventure. Highly recommend this trip if Joe is on it.

We had a terrific time on this Safari, due in no small part to our fabulous group leader Titus. He has a terrific knowledge of his homeland which he is determined to pass on to future generations, and his passion for the animals and the natural beauty of his surroundings is clear for all to see. We travelled many miles between the various campsites & lodges & Titus was with us all the way which was comforting. We wouldn't have fully appreciated many of the clues in the countryside had he not been there, as many times he would spot tracks in the sand & stop the truck to explain to us which animal had left the tracks & where they were headed. A very engaging & patient guy to which we owe much gratitude for making this such a great holiday. .
