  It was good, had a nice time my travel companions were wonderful. They could’ve been a little bit bigger than even though the group was small. We need more room to stretch out.Show more

  I had such an amazing time on this tour. It was well organized and still flexible. It was a fantastic group of people to travel with. Our guide and driver, Sam, was amazing! He was friendly, always helpful, and very knowledgeable. I have already been recommending this trip.Show more

  I was disappointed about the tour. The accommodation was really below average. I understood one night is in a tent at a camp site; therefore, this one is not an issue. The lodging at Gweta has no air conditioning, and it was hot. The lodging at Maun has air condition, but it doesn't really cool down the room in the afternoon, as the roof is canvas. Furthermore, the wifi access is not available in the room, where the itinerary indicated that wifi is available. The wifi is available in the reception area where no air conditioning, so it is hot in the summer. Then the tour guide/driver is really a driver. He is a good driver, but he provides minimum information about what to do next or local information. I understand that there is long drive involved, so he is saving his energy for minimum talking, but information is very limited, not useful. He is friendly though. If you are not set up for long driving or poor accommodation, I would not recommend this tour. I spend extra money for lodging upgrade, and I feel it is wasted. Room is poor in Gweta and Maun. Access to wifi in Gweta and Maun is only at the recetion. I feel that this should be clearly communicated in the itinerary. I'm pleased with the game drive in Chobe and sunset cruise on Chobe river. It is really a very small boat, so it can't be said as a cruise. I'm also pleased with Khama rhino sanctuary game drive. The lodging at Stevensford was good. The lodging at Kasane was OK. Most of the meals at the lodging were good, and the servers are friendly and helpful.Show more

  Dear Mr Deng, Our sincere apologies for the late response to your feedback. Our offices were closed over the festive break and I was on leave. Thank you for your feedback following your recent Acacia tour. We do certainly appreciate your taking the time to complete the questionnaire. The accommodations used for the tour are selected either for their location or security or – in some cases – because there is little choice available and they are the best in the area. In some areas facilities (such as Wifi, air conditioning) vary in standard, largely due to varying infrastructure and local conditions throughout. I am sorry you feel the cost of the upgrade was not good value. The fact is you will have been given the best room available and while we will speak each property the difficulty – as I say –is that in sometimes choices are limited. In regard to driving, our tour dossiers/ trip notes give estimates for the number of hours you can expect to drive on each day – but again it varies according to conditions pertaining locally. We will look to see if we can emphasise this more for future clients, however. We will also use your comments regarding the tour leader (Shingi) for training purposes. All tour leaders - whether working alone or in pairs – must communicate fully with group members and this is something they normally enjoy. I have reviewed other client feedbacks, and no one mentions anything about communication but we will speak to Shingi in any event and I sure your comments will be helpful. On a more positive note, I am grateful for the comments on the food and friendliness of the local staff. Thank you again for taking the time to help us with your feedback. Kind regards Michelle Lewis (Sales and Marketing)
