Family Botswana and Zimbabwe Safari Adventure

We so saw much wildlife - our fabulous Tour Leader KK even found us Leopards and Cheetah, and was intensely knowledgeable about the animals' behaviour and likely location. For animal and adventure lovers this holiday is perfect, and that is its key focus. Apart from the trip to the Tsodilo Hills, this is pretty much a true wildlife and camping trip with all the early mornings and changes of pitch/location that implies. And beware - changing water levels as the seasons draw on and huge distances means the Tour Managers have to tweak accommodation arrangements sometimes, and that driving days can be long. Accommodation varies from the quite plush to good basic roomy camping next to Hippo Pools - but you'll not have to set up any tents ( own toilet and bucket shower - which was AMAZING), or think about meals. If I would do one thing differently I'd bring one or two chains of battery powered warm white fairy lights - the mozzies on the delta were really attracted to the Big White Lights on the houseboat and it gets dark at 6.30 sharp.

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.

Generally excellent experience When I fell ill towards the end of the trip Explore offered exceptional assistance

Great trip, tons of wildlife and a fantastic guide KK. Houseboat and camping and lodges the variety was great!
