Great country, great safaris, well-versed guides.
My wife and I, aged 75, went to Kadizora Camp in the Delta and then to Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge in Chobe National Park, as arranged by Sian Edwards of Off2Africa travel. The trip was pricy but worth it. Both stays were excellent - plenty of animals and scenery, explained in detail by qualified guides. We got not only to see animals, but understand how they lead their lives and the ecosystem within which they exist.
Though we saw only Maun, the airport city, to have an idea of the rest of Botswana, we came away with a very positive feeling about the country. The English of all we met was impeccable, and things worked well (with the exception of Air Botswana, which changed our flight time without notice). Off2Africa was very helpful in making our choices, which were good ones. If I had it to do over again, I would try to see a bit more of the water life of the Delta, which is fascinating.

Beautiful country awesome people
Botswana was one of the destinations l have always wanted to travel to. My wish came true April when we have the opportunity to go on a flying safari. I cannot put into words the amazing time we had during our travels. The animals, guides, staff and all amenities were fantastic. I wish l could have stayed forever.
Beautiful wildlife!
We only stayed two days and one night in Chobe but we saw immense wildlife and wish to go back!

Fantastic for wildlife
Our day in Chobe was great: we saw quite a variety of wildlife, and a surprising amount too! I couldn't believe the number of elephants, with hippo, buffalo etc all around as well. The river cruise was also great, with a very informative, friendly guide that made the experience a lot of fun.

Amazing and engaging experience not soon forgotten.
Great experience. Sam ,from Kalahari tours ,is a Botswana diamond. Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging making the beautiful scenery of the Chobe that much more appealing. The people we encountered served us graciously and made sure we had more than we needed. From border entry to exit, our trip was a bucket-list experience.

Perfectly executed
Our travel agent at Indigo Safaris did a wonderful job in planning and making the necessary reservations. We were particularly impressed by the coordination and cooperation among the local airlines.

Breathtaking!
What a wonderful place and people. The natural beauty of this country is only amplified by the caring and open people who inhabit it. I was stunned by the abundance of flora and fauna as well as seeing every animal on the Savannah. Well worth a visit.

Africa's Jewel in the Crown

Mokoro was steered carefully through narrow channels and well away from hippo. On the island we did a 3 hour walking tour and learned how to recognise the footprints of so many different species. Our itinerary started in Maun and included 2 nights in the Nxai Pan, 2 nights on an island accessed by Mokoro, 3 nights in Moremi, 2 nights in the Kwai Concession and 3 nights in Savuti. We completed our holiday with a night in Chobe where we took a late afternoon river cruise, to be rewarded by a family of elephants swimming across the river in front of our boat! Our final night was spent across the border at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Botswana is the real jewel in Africa's crown, not just for wildlife but for its special people - so vivacious, friendly and welcoming. In June the weather was perfect for us, about 25C by day although it was cold at night (not a problem when camping with a warm fire and plenty of good bedding). We did some souvenir shopping in Chobe at the end of our holiday although we had also picked up a couple of handmade local crafts whilst on the island from the Mokoro. The Mopane forests are so beautiful in June with their golden yellow-green leaves. As two females travelling together we felt quite safe at all times. I would highly recommend anyone reading this to make Botswana the country to visit for wildlife and bird-watching, and to enjoy the company of locals who genuinely welcome visitors.

Botswana not only has a lot to offer in Nature but also the people are extremely friendly!
Because I only went to Botswana for Safari and didn‘t visit any cities, I can unfortunately only write what I saw during the Safari. Not only the Nature is the nature astonishing, but also the people I met were all welcoming and this was even a greater experience. I would like to travel the next time a little bit more in Botswana and also visit different cities to see what they offer else!

Our favourite place we've ever been
We did a two centre Botswana trip as part of our honeymoon, with 3 days in Chobe and 3 days in the Okavango Delta. Both camps were incredible and we saw and did so much on our safaris. The delta in particular is one of those pinch me locations, and is a truly wild and magnificent place.
