Breathtaking!
What a wonderful place and people. The natural beauty of this country is only amplified by the caring and open people who inhabit it. I was stunned by the abundance of flora and fauna as well as seeing every animal on the Savannah. Well worth a visit.

Botswana has wonderful wildlife and friendly people - great place for a holiday
The Kalahari was a wonderful place with different animals to what we had seen on previous safaris, such as the wonderful bat eared foxes and wild cat. Not the best time to visit as the rains stopped us going to many areas due to the mud. We did get stuck once for an hour before being rescued, all part of the experience as were the scorpions. From the Kalahari our well laid plans went to pot as hotel Baobab had a big fire in November so was closed for renovation. Our guide changed the itinerary and took us to Khwai and into the Savuti part of the Chobe reserve. The areas were lovely but it was a lot of travelling on dirt roads and not what we had planned. We did see more animals in these areas mostly ones we had seen previously. Our best experience was spending 25 minutes with beautiful male Leopard. He was walking at the side of the road coming towards us and was not bothered at all about the car, we got some wonderful photographs and even managed to turn the car around and follow him as he scent marked along his territory. It had been raining and our guide said that, he is staying near the road as he does not want to get his fur wet in the long grass. Eventually as he walked away from the road he was spotted by the Impala, a great noise they all made warning of his presence. We were doing luxury camping, it was very comfortable but often very hot and washing water was in short supply. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna but sometimes he over egged the pudding.

Perfectly executed
Our travel agent at Indigo Safaris did a wonderful job in planning and making the necessary reservations. We were particularly impressed by the coordination and cooperation among the local airlines.

Amazing and engaging experience not soon forgotten.
Great experience. Sam ,from Kalahari tours ,is a Botswana diamond. Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging making the beautiful scenery of the Chobe that much more appealing. The people we encountered served us graciously and made sure we had more than we needed. From border entry to exit, our trip was a bucket-list experience.
