A magical experience
When researching our trip to Botswana, I found the advice provided by Safari Specialists outstanding. Over a period of several weeks, they patiently answered my many questions in a friendly and professional manner. Nothing seemed too much trouble, their expertise was evident and their response time was impressive.
We enjoyed the most wonderful holiday, experiencing for the first time the variety and excitement that is Botswana. Our camps were ideal for our needs, the guides, trackers and other staff were outstanding and everything worked as it should. The memories of this trip will last forever, but we're not finished with this super country yet. I look forward to seeking advice from Nadine and her colleagues again soon regarding our next visit to Africa's best kept secret.

Wonderful Safari Experience
The team from Safari Specialists arranged the most amazing Botswana safari experience for my husband and I. The personal service that we received from Erica was exceptional. She provided a lot of useful information about our destinations as well as offering suggestions and ideas on where to stay. While we were traveling, all arrangements went exactly as arranged.

Selected good mix of camps for first safari
On the whole communications were good, itinerary worked as specified. We were met by representatives at each stage and camps managed the internal flights with Mac Air. Recommended camps gave us a good range of animals and we saw everything we wanted to at close quarters. Bird life was exceptional. Khwai Bush camp and Pelo were outstanding, Chobe Elephant camp being larger was a bit impersonal, accommodation more basic although the guides were very good.

Efficient Quick and great value
Joanne Sachs and her staff at Safari Trails was just great. She put together a great safari tour of Zimbabwe and Botswana. Answered all our questions very promptly. Everything was on time. Kuhulu Ivory Lodge was awesome. Elephants drinking water from our pool, lions mating not 100 meters from the lodge.... awesome. This family owned lodge is a Gem. Food drinks rooms staff .... everything was perfect. Had a great game drive in Hwange National park. Excellent lunch. Moved onto Cresta spray view hotel in Victoria Falls. An excellent hotel.... great staff food rooms service just perfect. Victoria falls tour was great and the Zambezi river cruise was awesome. Please visit Boma restaurant for a buffet of Crocodile to warthog to you name it... any kind of bush meat. Land transfer to Chobe Elephant Camp was very comfortable. But the only good thing about that lodge was the game drives with MR. Innocent. Food was average, staff uncaring. Electricity off and on. We were given the most distant rooms even though there was only one more room occupied. Had to walk through Elephant infested forest to the rooms. That was a scary walk of about 300 meters. Electric fence was not working. Basically a terrible place. Chobe river cruise was perfect. I recommend Joanne Sachs and Safari Specialists absolutely. She is great.
