Budget Accommodation
Booked for a 3 night stay. The Lodge was comfortable but the room I was assigned was very jaded and dark with strange lighting and fixtures. The food was decent though the menu could have been altered more frequently. Staff efficient and pleasant. Its the old room that was an annoyance and seriously needs an upgrade. The photos on the tour operator's site does not give a true picture. Otherwise the tours were decent though the tour to the sights within the park was underwhelming and this can be substituted for something else.

Delivered on the experience and made it memorable!
The Mzansi Experience was just that...an experience to enjoy. It included a 4-Day Okavango Delta & Boteti River Tented Safari package. On Day 1, arrival, we were to embark on a 2-hour sunset Mokoro canoe safari, but dry weather conditions have the Boteti river dry. Instead, they arranged for us to visit a nearby local village and become familiar with local villagers and customs, etc. However, upon arriving at the village, gates were closed and most had gone into a nearby town. Our driver/guide (Kay) was most resourceful as he located an elder lady who was happy to talk to us. Chairs were set out in a circle on village grounds, as she began to talk, other male elders joined, as did some children who sat on the sandy ground. Great afternoon. Day 2 involved a ride on a Makoro canoe up the Okavango river, which allowed us to glide through the river, seeing hippos, elephants and more. Day 3 was a Game Drive on a 4x4 open air vehicle to Moremi/Khwai Reserve, which is in the northern fringe of Okavango Delta. Saw a multitude of animals, including lions, leopard, elephants, zebras, etc. Day 4 was relaxation and headed out. Boteti Tented chalets were comfortable, food in small restaurant was always served to us at 7pm, firepit was nearby. Staff at Boteti Tented Chalets were all very polite and accommodating. We met 2 other couples from Australia that joined us on this 3-4 Day adventure, which made the experience even more memorable.

Good value safari
The Kruger Safari with Panorama Drive was an enjoyable experience. The lodge was nice, and the cost of the trip was a good value for the experience.

This is an amazing life changing experience!
This is a definite must on your bucket list. If you want to get up close and personal with the animals of southern Africa this is the way to do it. The staff are wonderful people with amazing personalities and make you feel like family. I could definitely do this again and again. Hopefully I have the opportunity to come back. If you have the chance to come and experience this I highly recommend that you do, it will change your life.

Amazing experience!
I am fortunate enough to work for a company that provided this experience as part of a leadership conference. Guides and staff were awesome and accommodated our large group requirements. I was blown away by the amount and variety of animals we saw. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful, stress-free experience!!
We flew in with friends from France from Cape Town and from the moment we were picked up, it was one superbe experience!!
Superbly organized, beautiful accommodation and the staff went out of their way to please us!!
Excellent meals!!
It was a dry season but we managed to see most of the animals during our game drives. Stunning mokoro sunset canoeing with incredibly pleasant polers.
From start to finish, we felt really special with the staff taking so much care!
Well done to everyone!!!

Everything perfect
We came to SA in June 2024, we went to Kruger Park from Johannesburg.
The trip was nice, perfect driver. The lodge (Kruger Adventure Lodge) was nice, great safari on the afternoon and incredible the day after.
Nice dinners at the lodge, unfortunately it was too cold to have a bath in the swimming pool.
Top experience anyway, also for our kids (6 and 3 years old), they enjoyed it so much.

Great experience overall
We were 2 people on our second safari this year. We first visited Kruger National Park. We stated at Boteti Tented safari, and had a wonderful experience there. It was June so very cold at night, imagine our surprise when we returned to our bed the first night, to find a turn down service and a 2 HOT WATER BOTTLE's in our bed. Delighted! once you are undercover, it is very cosy.
Our first morning was a 5am start in the jeep for a long drive to Moremi reserve, (Bring very warm clothes) Loved it, saw lots of the big 5. The next morning was a sleep in for a drive to our Mokoru delta trip. fantastic. It was nerve wracking so close to the Hippos, but our guides knew what they were doing. All in all a great trip.

A great experience!
I had a great experience in Botswana with Mzansi Experience. The guide was so nice and he made me feel welcome from start by picking me up at the airport. The lodge where we stayed where both cosy and luxury.
Every day there was an amazing activity and I was lucky by seeing four of the big five, and a lot more animals.

Botswana is excellent for wildlife
We visited Botswana in the middle of a severe drought so this significantly affected some parts of our experience. However, we very much enjoyed our short trip to northern Botswana. The Moerimi wildlife reserve is a fantastic place to see a huge range of African animals up close. We saw lions, leopards (with cub), elephants, cape buffalo, giraffe, zebra, jackals, wildebeest, impala and much more. Our trip to the Okavango delta was impacted by the drought but still a wonderful experience.
