Great country, great safaris, well-versed guides.
My wife and I, aged 75, went to Kadizora Camp in the Delta and then to Ghoha Hills Savuti Lodge in Chobe National Park, as arranged by Sian Edwards of Off2Africa travel. The trip was pricy but worth it. Both stays were excellent - plenty of animals and scenery, explained in detail by qualified guides. We got not only to see animals, but understand how they lead their lives and the ecosystem within which they exist.
Though we saw only Maun, the airport city, to have an idea of the rest of Botswana, we came away with a very positive feeling about the country. The English of all we met was impeccable, and things worked well (with the exception of Air Botswana, which changed our flight time without notice). Off2Africa was very helpful in making our choices, which were good ones. If I had it to do over again, I would try to see a bit more of the water life of the Delta, which is fascinating.

Great trip and best views
Our trek up Mount Longonot was challenging but highly rewarding. Benson was an excellent guide, leading us through the steep climb to the crater’s edge. The views of the Rift Valley were breathtaking, and it was an unforgettable experience for our family. A great trip for those who enjoy combining hiking with safari!

Patient and professional
Moses was very good with communication. I had 101 questions so he was patient, friendly and reassuring as I was a solo traveller.

Way beyond expectations. Love the trip so much
I recently had the most incredible safari experience with African Big Cats, and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, the company's meticulous planning and attention to detail made this trip truly unforgettable. The accommodations they arranged were top-notch—each hotel was not only comfortable but also offered stunning views of the African landscape, providing the perfect blend of luxury and nature.
Our guide, Vnance, was the highlight of the journey. His sharp eyes spotted wildlife from miles away, whether it was a pride of lions lounging in the sun or a cheetah stealthily stalking its prey. He was incredibly knowledgeable, answering all our questions with enthusiasm and patience. Beyond his expertise, Vnance's thoughtfulness shone through in every aspect of the tour. He ensured our safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times, making us feel like valued guests rather than mere tourists. Thanks to African Big Cats and Vnance, I now have memories that will last a lifetime!

Professional, well organised and always able to be contacted and at the same time friendly
When planning for this trip I came across Matt at African Safari Guru. Over a number of months we corresponded over the proposed trip and what we wanted to see and do and even included some of Matt's suggestions. By taking the time to listen to what we wanted, the 12 day trip went off without a hitch and provided us with great accommodation and even better experiences, all the while ensuring we could get from A to B without any issues.
I have no doubt that if we are seeking to go back to Africa and experience something different and new Matt would be our first point of contact to arrange everything for us due to his wealth of experience, knowledge and understanding what his clients want.

One of the most magical experiences ever
Jacky helped share all the information I asked for and was very helpful. I appreciated that the costs were upfront and inclusive of everything like the park fees. For this tour, there was an evening safari from 4 - 630pm on the first day, and then a full day safari from 730 - 4pm. I went during off season so it was a bit rainy, but we still managed to see so many animals! Didn't manage to see rhinos or leopards, only 2 missing from the big five. Albert was our driver and guide and he displayed impressive driving and I really enjoyed when he shared information about the animals. He said we were lucky as we managed to see a lot of animals that some groups weren't able to. I only wish I knew there was an extra day add on to go to Nakuru park! I might have gone to see the rhinos and flamingos. I stayed at Flair camp and the tent room was nice, there was hot water and 4 course meals for lunch and dinner. Overall highly recommended experience!
