Excellent guides and personalised service make this memorable
I visited Kasane, while my husband was on business, so I wanted a game drive in the middle of the day and a boat cruise after his work. Through Botswana Tourism Organisation, I found Dreams Safaris. True, I paid double to go on a game drive but we went at my time and, being the only person, I could stop and stare at giraffes to my heart’s content and leave the lions after a few minutes (boring creatures). My guide, Robert, was very knowledgeable about the animals, birds, poaching and all sorts of stories and found me so many giraffes and elephants!
At 4.30, our river guide picked up Peter and I from the Chobe Marina Lodge jetty and off we went, again the only people in the boat. Our guide Large (well named – he was very tall), was equally well informed about birds and animals. Because this was a much smaller boat then most of the others, we were able to drift in closer to the shore and see Nile monitors, a small crocodile, giraffe coming to drink and a pod of hippos settling down for the night. Of course, herds of elephants (literally), buffalo, hippos and a spectacular sunset provided us with the perfect end to the day.
