    Hi Todd, Thank you for taking the time to review your Botswana Wildlife Safari. I do apologise for the confusion the room type booked whilst on tour. It does appear that your tour was booked on a twin-share basis, and the Booking Confirmation and Final Documentation sent via the Tourradar dashboard reflected this. As such, you were charged the twin-share pricing, and no additional money was taken by Explore for a single room. I sincerely apologise that your booking was not made on a single-room basis and am happy to hear that our On Tour team was able to work with our Local Ground Agent to secure a single room where available once we became aware of the issue. Should you have any further feedback you would like us to know, please reach out to our Customer Relations team at cr@explore.co.uk. Best regards, Explore!

    I think the name of the trip is a bit misleading, it doesn't have as much voodoo as you'd expect from the name
