From Judy Swanson
We had such a fantastic time in Botswana - I cried when we had to leave........... being South African myself probably made it harder as we were heading back to the States after 6 weeks. We stayed firstly at a small camp called Zibalianja in the Linyanti swamp north of Maun. It has only 3 chalets and is known as the smallest camp in Africa. If you like that sort of intimate setting - just like one small family together.
Our second camp was Xakanaxa in the Moremi game reserve in the Okavango Delta. The setting here was spectacular - right on the delta. Bob and Flo (our hosts) are just fantastic people. I could have stayed another week. Mandy from Island Safari did a superb job. I just went to the web and wrote to the first people I could find - which happened to be Mandy. She answered all my questions the very next day. I wrote to one outfit to compare and it took 5 days to get a reply.
We couldn't have asked for better - professional, prompt and friendly. There are many camps in the delta which we personally preferred because the waterways make the setting so beautiful. The game was wonderful - everything from lions to cheetah, from hippos to elephants. One hippo (Pavorotti) is used to coming out of the delta and roaming the camp. He slept behind our tent one night - they saw his foot prints. Fortunately, we don't sleep walk.
Cheers,
Judy
More client comments................ | From Bruce Cottrill,
Just a belated note to thank you to you and all the team for organising the best holiday ever! I have to confess at having had some slight misgivings at the start - handing over such a large amount of money to someone you don't know was somewhat daunting! But I need have had no concerns. Your organisation was excellent, you and others that we dealt with were so helpful and prompt in responding to any queries we had, the system you have for payment (UK bank account) was much appreciated, and Rob was most helpful to us at Jo'burg airport - and this after we'd had to change arrival plans at very short notice. All the travel arrangements went smoothly, people were there to help us when they were needed, and of course the camps were just fabulous! The combination of camps that you recommended - Xakanaxa Camp followed by Delta Camp - provided us with a lovely contrast of the Delta. We talk about the Okavango often, and I'm sure will continue to do so for a long time to come.
Thank you, again, to you and all the team for making this possible
Bruce
