It's a unforgotten safari, comfortably encountering animals and pretty good accommodation and food

Our first stop was camp Kalahari, which was in Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Lots of animals live there, blue wild beasts, zebras, stinboks, ostriches...One highlight was to encountering a lion family in a very short distance (10-30 meters), which composed a male lion, four female lions and around 8 cubs. They were resting and playing...The most impressive thing there was to observe meerkats. They were very cute and vigilant, but they were not afraid of people. And even, a meerkat stood on my body when I laid on the ground in front of them. What a experience! By the way, guide Nico of camp Kalahari is super professional and introduces everything there. He could be a good biology and geography teacher.

The second camp was Moremi Crossing, locateing in Akavango Delta. Akavango Delta has more diverse landscapes and animals. Two nights could be not enough for enjoying this wild and wonderful place. More animals are there, elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, lions...and lots of
Read more beautiful birds.

The third camp we stayed in was Elephan Pan, comparing to the previous two camps, which didn't seem so special except for many elephants there.

Our itinerary was organised by Marco from Southbound Tours. He is reliable and should be recommend.

Botswans is one of the best place for safaring fans and worthy to come again.

Botswana completely broke my sense of scale and I mean that in the best way. The wildlife, the landscapes, the people, the conservation story, all of it is just extraordinary. I came not knowing what to expect and left forever changed and already planning the next trip. 10/10 no notes. 🌍🐘

Spiritually transformative and a great deal of fun!

Botswana has just the right bush to animal ratio, by which I mean there is enough open land to see a lot of animals and enough bush to keep them close to the road. Every time we turned around, there were elephants. The river trip allowed us to view tons - literally - of hippos. We saw a huge herd of Cape Buffalo, and all the other animals you would expect. We took a short night drive to see the Milky Way, and also saw a pack of Wild Dogs. The weather was perfect and the accomodations very comfortable. Coming from Miami, I especially noticed the silence! It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Okavango Delta is a world apart from anything else we have experienced. Kwando Splash and Lagoon Camps were beyond expectations. The sightings, and the closeness of the animals, were breathtaking. Of our many travels, this is a trip we would absolutely do again with very minor changes.

Wayfairer worked to include everything we hoped for, and were there when we needed direction after a delay occurred. Kudos to the team for watching over us and making sure all was put back in order.

Must-do experience for anyone who enjoy the bush and its wildlife

The Okavango Delta is truly amazing and seeing it from a boat, safari vehicle or the air is a stunning experience. The untamed landscape is teeming with wildlife and it’s unfenced so you can see wildlife on the main roads as well as the bush. We also visited Chobe which is a mighty river too. Again, loads of wildlife and excellent lodges to stay in.

Loved our visit to Botswana and the Moremi, Okavango and Savute camps - each camp was very comfortable, friendly, with great service and in some respects they were very similar although each offered a different type safari experience - especially Okavango where we experienced walking and boat safaris. We always felt safe in the hands of friendly and knowledgeable guides - no matter how close we were to lions - and learnt from the guides extensive knowledge.

Go2Africa kept in touch with us from the moment we booked and updated us with any changes to arrangements which we liked. We felt looked after from the moment we arrived in Maun - and our first camp transfer - to the time we left the country. All transfer arrangements were seamless.
