Tydon Safari
The safari drives where so amazing. Got to see so many animals in only three drives. The accomodation was also an amazing experience with only 4 tents and a max of 8 people it was intimate and calm. The only down side was that there was extremely poor organisation traveling to and from the safari. The pick up was awful and I ended up getting my phone out to try and track down where one of the pick up locations would be after we got told we have to get to the airport by 8 to get picked up. We didn't leave Johannasberg for another hour and a half later for one person. Apparently almost missed out on our first drive. Then on the way home we expected a drive in the morning as we had payed for 3 days but got woken at 6 to eat by 7 to leave 7:20. We got to the second base camp to pick up the rest of the guest. We waited 40 mins while they came of of their rooms had breakfast in front of us and then packed up there things. Didn't leave till 8:30. We literally sat in the car ALL DAY! Didn't arrive back at the airport till 6:30 pm.
We spend an exhausting 40 mins at some crappy souvenir shop were I sat in the car. Then equally as crapy waterfall and then gods window look out. I paid for safari drives not a tour around town. It was frustrating. We could have done a drive in the morning and could have been at the airport at the same time.
Best in Botswana
Amazing sightings - Leopards, Lions, Wild Dogs, Elephants, Hippos, Crocs, Antelope, Birds etc etc etc.
On my trip to Botswana I visited the Okavango Delta, Chobe and Moremi. As much as the other places were great, Moremi was certainly the best for wildlife. Not only was there lots of variety, you could get close to the animals so its great for photography. I'd always wanted to see a leopard in a tree and a leopard with a kill and I got both of these in one day. Another day it was lions swimming across a river, another day was a pack of Wild Dogs running along the river banks. So much to see and so much beauty, I fully recommend visiting Moremi GR.

An amazing place, full of photo opps despite the drought.

Raveged by drought
I booked a Sabi Camp for my photography tour I was leading, as I had heard Sabi Sands was the best place in the Kruger area. I bet it is when not ravaged by drought. There was very little to eat for the grazing animals so many had left, the predators were doing well off animals dying from drought. Our camp was only permitted in a small portion of Sabi Sands and I'm guessing there were better areas in the reserve. Although we had some great sightings my photo tour guests and I, chose to spend extra time in Kruger where the Sabi River was still flowing. I will return to Sabi Sands and hopefully next time it will live up to it's great reputation.

I think that Mana Pools is one of the most places in the world. There are plenty of elephants,hippos, and buffalo. I've seen wild dogs on both of my visits. I've also seen lions.and plenty of antelope. The canoe trip is really beautiful.

A Wild and Unknown Gem
I recently stayed for a week in Gonuarezhou National Park. I stayed for one week at Gonarezhou Bush Camp where I was guided by Ant Kaschuala who is without a doubt one of the finest guides in Africa. I thought that the bush vibe,and scenery were just outstanding. There were elephants everywhere,and a wide variety of antelope. I saw plenty of nyala, greater kudu,impalas, eland,and many others including sable. The birding was excellent.

An experience of a lifetime: Safari, Mission Work. Cultural Education, Adventure, and more.
Traveling with Exclusive Wilderness I felt at home while adventuring out into the world.
David made me feel safe. We saw the big cats, stayed in great hotels, glam camped the Serengeti,
and met new and interesting people. I learned about the culture and experienced the nature that
is Tanzania. I highly recommend touring with Exclusive Wilderness. I know I will be back next year.
