GREAT EXPERIENCE
Our tour operator was TOUR RADAR but very lucky to be directly in touch with an agent of MZANSI EXPERIENCE very very helpful for all special questions.
5-Day Okavango Delta Moremi Reserve Experience that was a great experience
In September this year was very dry and hot. Lucky that we did fly over Okavango to see the remaining of water and the traces of the real flow.
A real sportive vacation. Waking up early driving a lot.
The experience with the Mokoro was nice as long we were paddling but terrible for the walk in the desert in full sun at midday seeing only skeletons for tourists. Nonsense
Boteti lodge superb choice of a tented camp
What we will not forget of our Botswana trip is the staff, the people who were so kind so helpful and so concerned to show the best of their living.

Once a life good experience!
We love Botswana and our trip. It is a very organized trip, from beginning to the end. Service is great, people in the camps are very nice and responsible； delicious and veritable of local food; dinner tables set in front of the water pit, we can see animals group by group coming to drink water; great scenery , we saw many kind of animals , unique Africa trees, sunrise and sunset , etc. Our tour operator is very experienced and worked super hard to satisfy every customer. They often gave extra time if they found we are interested, never rushing, weather is hot, but temperature drop in the early morning and night. At night, you can hear the sound from animals but it is safe.

Wonderful experience....even for watching birds
One wild part in MOREMI and SAVUTI...we move "upmarket"day by day.....more and more animals, birds.
The apotheosis with the appearance of the Chobe river and its multitude of animals.
But in this place, what seemed extraordinary to us has become too common (the guides , for instance, know where are the lions , their territory...) and there is no more surprise...strange feeling!!

A country that offers a totally different experience
Botswana offers a different experience than the traditional safari, which is what we were looking for
In Chobe, the beauty and abundance of wild life was amazing, but what we really loved was the river safaris. You can see an incredible number of animals (not only herbivores, but also others like leopards, and many birds) in an open space with a beautiful scenery. Everybody was very nice and cheerful, and the quality of the resorts is very high. Where we stayed, all guides were women, which is remarkable, since it is very hard to find female guides in Africa. This is something that we appreciated as an initiative to push for real change
Okavango was the cherry on the cake. Only walking safaris, boat and canoe safaris were offered where we stayed. You can see the animals under a completely different perspective, and you can get a real feeling of adventure. The guides were very knowledgeable (we were really impressed, they knew absolutely everything), and also friendly and funny.

Elephant Lover's Paradise!
Botswana people very friendly towards tourists. The wildlife was fantastic. Some gravel roads was in a terrible state.

Beautiful people, beautiful nature
We were told Botswana was amazing but expensive. While it was pricier than other destinations, we found reasonably priced "budget safari" options and were handsomely rewarded with close wildlife encounters, informative local guides, and the deep peace of both the Okavango Delta and various open spaces of enormous national parks. Highly recommended!

Easygoing with a range of options for safari
I enjoyed my trip to Botswana and regret that I only had three days in country. The Okavango Delta is among the most unique ecosystems on Earth and spans a vast area. As such, one can only cover a short amount of ground in a standard-length trip, so making the right choice for lodging and tour operator is crucial. I enjoyed my dugout canoe tour immensely, but imagine I’d have seen more wildlife had I chosen a lodge further into the Delta (accessible via bush plane). Botswana is an expensive country, but one that is well worth the cost. That’s said it’s worth noting that the “low end” of the budget requires several hundred dollars per day.
