In one sentence, excellent service and perfect arrangements.
This was a 10 nights safari tour starting off from the legendary Victoria Falls Hotel in Zimbabwe, then went on to three different locations in Botswana. I have been on many safaris before and I can truly say this was an absolutely memorable trip. My contact with the company was with Ms Christelle Huet who has made absolutely marvellous arrangements for us, and very quick responses to any of my questions.
I stayed at the Chobe Botswana Lodge, the Lagoon in Kwando Private Reserve and the 4 Rivers in Okavango Delta, all located in beautiful environments with special characteristics. Excellent service and amenities in all the three lodges, with friendly cheerful staff. I wish to mention also the excellent guides and trackers we had in all three locations. It was incredible the trackers were able to track the wildlife even in tall grass terrains, and we were able to practically see all the wildlife that we wished to see and up close.
Indeed it was a really memorable trip and I highly recommend Gondwana Tours & Safaris to all.
Mark was extremely helpful in assisting me in planing a tour to Victoria Falls and a Safari
I wanted to go on a Safari and Visit to Victoria Falls on the same trip. Mark was able to advise me on when was the best time to go as I do not like it too hot and the best price for a single traveller. He also advised on the correct clothing to take for the Surprising chilly weather first thing in the morning and evening. I changed plans a couple of times and he accommodated these with great patience. I would strongly recommend Gondwana Tours to anyone especially if it your first Safari.

Amazing experience!
I worked with Christelle from Gondwana to plan a travel itinerary for myself, my son and his girlfriend for this past June. Many times during the trip, the three of us would exclaim, "wow, Christelle really nailed this". The plan worked out flawlessly and smoothly. We were at 3 different lodges in Botswana, so lots of logistics with travel to each of them. Everything came off without a hitch. The lodges Christelle suggested for us were exemplary. I am not sure how many ways there are to say that she provided us with an amazing experience. She really did. I also found Christelle responsive to questions I had before we left regarding details I was uncertain about. I am so glad to have found her, she created a memorable trip for me and my family.

Great assistance for an exceptional safari experience
The safari trip we booked with Christella at Gonnawanda Tours was WAY beyond our expectations. We highly recommended Gonawanda Tours and Pom Pom Safari camp in Botswana.
We used Gonawanda Tours to book our safari to Botswana because they had a very high guest rating in Trip Advisor, this rating is clearly well deserved. We worked with Christelle and she helped us book a trip that started in Victoria Falls ant then on to two safari camps in Botswana. Her advice in the planning process was very good. She listened to what we wanted, our budget, came up with solid recommendations, and worked to make changes to make the trip fit our needs. It was very nice to work with someone so knowledgeable, helpful and patient.
The safaris were WAY beyond expectations. We stayed at Chobe Bakwana and Pom Pom camps. Each had different experiences and both were worth it. The stay in PomPom was particularly excellent. It was in a private reserve and so we were able to drive off the track to track animals, take a walking safari, and do night drives. We were kept awake at night by the calls of hyenas, impalas and lions. Very cool. In front of our lodge was a watering hole that was filled with an ever changing array of wildlife. We sat on the deck to watch zebras, elephants, wildebeest, warthogs and other animals drink and play in the water. The driver and tracker were excellent. It was very interesting to watch them find animal prints on the ground and track the animals. They were successful as we saw leopards, lions, wild dogs and many many grazing animals. This was the trip of a life-time.

Perfect personalized wildlife experience offering by Mark & Gondwana Tours
Absolutely! Here’s a review for your safari tour agency based on your bullet points:

We just wrapped up an incredible 7-day safari organized by Mark, and it was hands down the best trip of our lives! We started with two nights at Phezulu Lodge in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, and then spent four nights in Botswana's Okavango Delta, staying at Splash and Mma Dinare lodges with Kwando Safaris.
Even though we visited in mid-season at the end of April, the wildlife sightings were out of this world. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, wild dogs, hippos, and hundreds of birds, plus many more amazing animals. The motorboat excursion and mokoro experience were absolute highlights.
Mark, our Gondwana tour consultant, was fantastic from start to finish. He was super helpful, always available, and gave us detailed instructions, visa information and packing lists that made everything so much easier. He set the right expectations and kept everything realistic, which we really appreciated. He was also able to provide great value for money given how expensive Botswana is and has provided the most competitive offer. :-)
This was by far our favorite and most memorable trip ever, and we can't thank Mark and the team enough for making it so special. If you're thinking about a safari, go with these guys – you won't regret it!
