A good safari
It’s was fine. Communication was right on top. They cleared lot of doubts through WhatsApp and email. Service is good too. Value for money, I think it’s expensive given I’ve seen Kenya and Tanzania safaris. Kenya safaris I’d do again but I don’t think I’d again do Botswana.

They made all the possible to ensure our trip.
They found us a good option in a very nice lodge. They also arranged the transport for us in a good way.
I guess the worst was the one day Game Drive we did where the organisation of the guide was not good. He said he would stop at 9am but he didn't, he stopped half an hour before lunch and when we went to eat we barely had time to order and eat. As a recommendation, talk to the guides beforehand to make sure of the stops.

Great to deal with
The staff at Mzansi were easy to communicate with and were well organised. Accomodation at Boteti River Tented Camp was very comfortable and clean. Staff were very friendly and attentive and fun to be around. Our guide David did anything he could to make our experiences special. The food was amazing. Helicopter flight offered as part of the tour was fabulous but needs to be longer so time from airport to accomodation is not part of overall time. Location is probably nicer when there is more water, but too far from most activities offered on the tour itinerary. It is not the Okavango Delta as advertised and takes 10-15mins to fly in a helicopter to see the head of Okavango Delta. If going to Moremi Game Reserve is important then I would not do this tour....too far away. But if you are looking for nice accomodation in a pretty setting near to Maun for a couple of nights then it is a great place to stay

Boteti River 4 day Okavango experience
Very well arranged. Just didn't realise the roads in the area were so bad, and that we would be on the back of a game viewing vehicle for many hours a day, just travelling to the Okavango. By the end of the day we were physically shattered from the drive. Else, everything was professionally arranaged and would definitely do it again if the travel on the long days were to be a bit more comfortable.

The staff were very customer focused and worked hard to make sure the experience was memorable
For tourists on a tighter budget, this trip provides an good taste of the things the Okavango and Moremi provide. The lodging, food, service & wifi were top notch. Our guide, Kay, was attentive and amazing. Traveling during the summer to the Okavango makes game viewing a bit less interesting. April - September are better months to go. The lodge is a good distance from where we met up with the polers and to the entrance of Moremi so keep that in mind as you plan. We have stayed at higher-end lodges in the Okavango. They provide better proximity but, from a service standpoint, Boteti Camp is on par and far less expensive.

Good value safari
The Kruger Safari with Panorama Drive was an enjoyable experience. The lodge was nice, and the cost of the trip was a good value for the experience.

Botswana is excellent for wildlife
We visited Botswana in the middle of a severe drought so this significantly affected some parts of our experience. However, we very much enjoyed our short trip to northern Botswana. The Moerimi wildlife reserve is a fantastic place to see a huge range of African animals up close. We saw lions, leopards (with cub), elephants, cape buffalo, giraffe, zebra, jackals, wildebeest, impala and much more. Our trip to the Okavango delta was impacted by the drought but still a wonderful experience.

Everything stated about the tour went as planned
The accommodation,safaris were excellent as well as food drinks and service. The staff were very attentive and looked after us very well. The only drawback was the small bus transfers to and from Johannesburg taking 6 hours with barely 1 only 5 minute stop along the way during a refuel stop. The bus was full and provided minimal leg room for large people.

Good customer service
First of all, their service is super good. I've exchange many emails with the team and they were always quick to answer and also giving detailed responce. I book a 5 days Kruger Safari. The value was perfect. Not the Big luxurious food/accomodation, but this is what I expected for a 1000$ CAN trip. I got the chance to be in their freshly new rooms at Kruger Adventure Lodge. It was beautiful and well situated in a quiet spot. About the staff, their were nice, I would say that in Canada we always offer better customer service, so if we compare with the African service I got in other place, it was normale.
Except of the first reservation exchange initially, I never spoke or saw anyone from The Mzansi Experience, their are a just the one that sell you the package with transportation (Safarilink) and the lodge package.
