a kill (for instance) so everyone got a good photo and viewing opportunity. Overall all the Botswana people we met were friendly and relaxed, which made for a great vacation.We were 100% happy with choosing Botswana as a destination and would go back and do it all again.

Worth a visit and a return, but expensive.
We did two things in Botswana, a self-organized tour to the Tsodillo Hills and the Moremi Game Reserve with a rented 4x4 car and a tour with Kalahari Tours (3d/2n) to the Chobe NP. Both experiences were remarkable.
As Botswana is a wild but safe country, you can organize a tour yourself with care and good preparation. However, even in the low season, many campsites and rental cars were no longer available due to advance reservations. It seems common to do a reservation without turning it into a booking later. In fact, we hardly saw any other self-drivers. If you don't want to book early due to the unpredictable weather situation in the low season, it can be become difficult to get a space and/or a car.
We welcome the policy of reducing the amount of tourists traveling to Botswana by limiting space and rising prices , but it should be possible to explore the countries beauty on ones own.
We hope to come again and visit other parts of this fantastic country.

Easy, friendly Botswana
We entered at Kazungula border for a day in Chobe park. The experience was easy, the tour staff were friendly and helpful. Yes things did not run on time and we had to wait for other people to gather; but as they say, "this is Africa". Just relax and enjoy the scenery. Wish we could have stayed longer.

In the middle of the nature
I went to Botswana with my sister and was amazing to be in their vast and perfectly well preserved national parks.
It is a priviledge to be with not many tourism in the middle of a beautiful and pristine nature, that belong to the animals and being and spectator of all that wild life.
Botswana are doing well, preserving its amazing natural heritage from the massive tourism.
We stayed in incredible and small lodges, saw a lot of natural life and unforgeatable countryside and all the guides and personnal were very profesional, knowleadge and kind.
Absolutamente worth the value for money

Raw African Beauty and Wildlife!
I have done several other safari’s, and Botswana is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Rustic bush experiences abound, and the people are beautiful and kind. I felt like we were out exploring nature, not driving around a big zoo. I would absolutely recommend Botswana to anyone who is looking for an up close and personal experience with the beauty of Africa’s nature and wildlife.

Much more exiting than Kruger Park in SA, less tourism, great hospitality, good access
Kim Wagner, Safari online was the perfect booker.
Ghoha Hill camp in Zavuti was just a disappointment with a lack of maintenance and refurbishment urgently needed! In contrary Kiri camp on Chiefs Island was exceptionally good, brand new and only could be recommended.

Friendly country with amazing scenery
We spent five days in Botswana at the Boteti tented safari lodge. This was a great place with wonderful staff and a very relaxed feel. The tents are very luxurious with electricity and an ensuite bathroom. The only downside of the place is that it is quite a long drive from the game reserve areas which makes the game drives quite a long day out. Game viewing was amazing though and well worth the trip. We also particularly enjoyed the canoe trip on the Okavango delta. The only problem we had was that Mzansi experience had not confirmed our booking to the lodge though I had paid in full and received a confirmation from Mzansi. This meant the lodge were not expecting us and did not meet us at the airport. However the staff coped brilliantly and resolved all the issues.

Stunning!
It was amazing to see the water and how passionate the local people are about taking care of natural resources!
