Botswana and South Africa Tours and Trips

My first ever escorted trip by myself but definitely won’t be my last! Sydney our tour leader was amazing and looked after us so well. Our driver John got us to everywhere safely, in what were some very challenging journeys! Lots of pot holes and speed bumps in SA!! They made a great team together. The full packed itinerary suited me and although fast paced we covered a lot of the country and gave a great flavour of what SA has to offer. Finally the group on the tour were so friendly and great company - I couldn’t be happier!

This was my first safari, and the holiday exceeded my expectations. Our guide Phenyo shared his exceptional knowledge and love of wildlife and Botswana with us. His local knowledge and a touch of being in the right place at the right time gave us many opportunities to see amazing wildlife in their natural surroundings. Many many, highlights; getting close to the leopard and lions, watching the elephants crossing the river, the enormous herd of buffalo, giraffes, zebras, impalas, numerous varieties of birds. The list goes on. Thank you to Phenyo and the people of Botswana for sharing this with us.

October is hot so be prepared for that. It also means there are a lot of animals early mornings and evenings and it was wonderful to watch a family of elephants with their babies rolling around in the mud and a family of lions with 2 cubs annoying their big sister. The food was great. In the basic camp it was cooked on a log fire with lots of fruit and veg. Our guide Sam was superb finding animals identifying birds and great fun. There are long journeys on roads which are not great. Tiring

Excellent safaris,many close up encounters with game. Great camps and accommodation. Well prepared food in the wild by great cooks,and camps superbly set up. One or two encounters with elephants and hippopotamus slightly worrying. Our driver,guide was great,though the length of hours he had to drive were too long on some occasions,though he never complained. He was extremely knowledgeable about the game and the policy of the game reserves. Excellent holiday but you do need to be able to rough it.

This trip exceeded our expectations in almost every way. The proximity to the wildlife was extraordinary, the range of wildlife was exceptional and the entire experience is unforgettable. The trip was enhanced by the outstanding nature of our group leader, Brian, and the support team, Brighton, Timoth and Moeti. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for the team. The trip is tough, early starts, lots of dust and bumpy roads but the rewards make all of this worthwhile and part of the experience.

I loved my trip and had the adventure of a lifetime! *personal info removed by Feefo* , our guide, was fantastic, friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable. We felt very well looked after. The locations and activities were incredible. I did almost everything, so I was exhausted, but it was all worth it for the experience. I had an amazing time.
