Our trip started in Namibia, where the itinerary promised visits to the seals, sand dunes, Kamanjab, Windhoek, and four game drives in Etosha National Park. Unfortunately, the reality was quite different — we only had one game drive, and none of the other listed locations (seals, sand dunes, Kamanjab, or Windhoek) were visited. There was also an optional game drive offered for £80, but the timing (1:30–3:30 p.m.) was only disclosed after payment. This time of day is when wildlife tends to hide, so the experience was largely disappointing — had I known the schedule in advance, I wouldn’t have opted in. Overall, Namibia was a major disappointment compared to what was advertised. The tour improved dramatically once we crossed into Botswana. The experience in Chobe National Park was outstanding — one of the best safaris I’ve ever been on. Our guide, Rati, was excellent: knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about her work. The optional Delta flight was a highlight, offering incredible views. We chose the camping option, which turned out to be comfortable and well-organized. The tents were easy to set up and pack away, and the meals were tasty. I appreciated that vegetarian meals were provided for me throughout the trip. The tour concluded in Victoria Falls, where we arranged our own activities to finish off the journey. Overall, while the Namibia portion was disappointing, the Botswana section and our time at Victoria Falls more than made up for it. With a few itinerary adjustments and better communication, this could have been an excellent trip from start to finish.Show more

The 12 day tour was planned beautifully to include a combination of countryside, culture, history, sunrise/sunset, and of course, every kind of annimal imaginable. The tour guides and cook who assisted in every way were knowledgeable, charming, attentive, and thorough. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and met all our needs. The tour provided a comprehensive and beautiful appreciation of these southern African countries and opportunities to meet and speak with local people about their lives. I highly recommend this option for anyone who wants authentic exposure to this part of the African continent.Show more
