Review about Kwando Concession by willows79
The camps are superb with excellent staff and guides. Huge variety of animal and bird life.
Southern African Safaris
We didn't have a safari in Zimbabwe. We were there to see Victoria Falls and stayed at the Victoria Falls Hotel. There was sight seeing on the Zambezi where we saw many animals. Our safaris were in South Africa at Kirkman's Kamp in the Sabe Sands area and in Botswana in the Okavanga Delta at Eagle Island Camp and Kwai River Camp. Our daughter's family took a safari in November of 2010 in South Africa's Sabe Sands at Elephant Plain Camp and were thrilled with everything . We all saw all the big 5 animals and many more.If my husband were well we'd doing it again.
Nature and adventure with good infrastructure
Visit Okavango Delta to walk among the wildlife. We stayed in a tent just in the middle of the park. It was amazing to wake up with the noise of nature.

Review about Botswana by jadeheart824
Botswana still feels very untouched and not as touristy as some other places in Africa.

amazing wildlife experience and everything I imagined a safari would be like
Accommodations - I went through Desert and Delta and really liked all their accommodations and their staff. Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly at Moremi, out of all the lodges, their staff were the most welcoming and my friends and I had such a good time with them. The food was amazing and they even made a separate dish for my friend who doesn't eat red meat. The tents are very clean and well-maintained and the bathrooms were really nice too. It was funny having a full bathroom in the middle of the wild but I definitely appreciated it.
Weather - it got really cold at night and was cold when we were out on the safari. Definitely bring layers and ask for a hot water bottle for the morning ride! It made a difference.
Scenery and Wildlife - Moremi was by the far my favorite out of the three preserves we visited. We would rarely come across another truck unless there was some really rare wildlife that was hard to spot (ie. a leopardess hunting, a pride of lions, etc). We were incredibly lucky and got to watch a pack of Wild African Dogs hunt and take down an impala, a leopardess stalk and hunt, and a pride of lions who were lounging around after a kill. We also saw zebras, other antelopes, giraffes, elephants, hippos, ox, warthogs, and a lot of rodent type of creatures, plus a lot of birds.
I would definitely love to go back someday!

Review about Okavango Delta by jadeheart824
The delta is beautiful, scenery wise it is amazing. We didn't see as many animals though because it's mostly water there and when we were on foot the animals would run from us. You are able to get a lot closer to them in a truck.

South Africa harbors the most incredible variety of habitats in the same country, with the highest standards of accommodation and experiences anywhere on the continent. Its excellent infrastructure make access to wildlife areas quick & easy, saving precious time & money to concentrate on the essentials: wildlife & nature.

Private invitation to the animals ome
I enjoyed three days in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve in February 2009. We stayed at the Idube that treated us with superb breakfast, lunch and dinner and two 3-hour game drives per day. We had seen all the big-5 and a lot more after only three of six drives! We also had a day of rain which led to flooded rivers and some serious of-roading. Very nice guides and trackers with all knowledge you could ask for. Would love to return.

Favorite Safari - Food for my Soul
Sabi Sabi has been continually recognized for excellency since the beginnings of the industry. They just know what they do, and they do it superbly well. Food & accommodation is awesome. The choice of various lodges within the reserve makes its incredible game experience accessible to a wide range of different tastes. The rangers are absolute pros, they know the big & small things in the bush, the sightings are well managed (no overcrowding) and the game is just so relaxed in the reserve, its always a privilege to return to Sabi Sabi.
