Reviews for Botswana wildlife safari
Kay Scoresby review 13 Oct 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
It's really hard to say as every day was brilliant. On safari we saw leopards, a cheetah, elephants, zebras, ostrich family, wart hogs, a hyena, wild dogs, lions, kudos, red antelope, impalas, fish eagles and a range of birds - all close up. We were really fortunate to have Bibi as our guide as he is a brilliant tracker, driver and guide.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Take clothes that don't show the dust. Definitely pack a scarf or even a mask to prevent the dust getting in your throat.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I'm not sure about the benefits for local people as we only came in contact with people working in the tourism industry or in shops. It would have been good to have had a short time looking at the market stalls in Maun, to maybe buy goods from local people. Using one jeep, everything about the camp site helped the impact on the environment. The Botswana Government and all the people working in tourism are fully committed to the conservation of the National Parks. It is noticeable in comparison to the neighbouring countries.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I would fully recommend this vacation as Botswana is definitely the best place to see wildlife. The balance of safari, staying on the boat and visiting Victoria Falls was just right.Joanna Benn review 5 Sep 2019
