Excellent service and safari experience with KET
We had such an amazing experience with KET. From day 1, communications with Paul was smooth, easy. He was quick to respond to my 101 questions, and was very thorough. Our driver/guide was Daniel and he was incredible! He worked so hard to track down the animals for us. He was so kind and friendly, and really made the trip even more enjoyable than it already was. We stayed at Mara Sarova and it was absolutely perfect-- well located, great nightly entertainment, beautiful accommodations, super safe and the most delicious food I've ever had (I still dream about it). The safari will go down as one of the greatest experiences of my life and I'm really happy with the service that we received from KET. Highly recommended

Review about Nxai Pan National Park by Horst M. Vogel
Gosh, we enjoyed this park too with elephants at the campsite and a leopard sitting on top of a termite mound. It's remote and that's what makes it very beautiful indeed ... provided you love solitude. Nxai Pan was also once our springboard for an adventureous trip along the historic cattle trail all the way up north to Pandamatenga. Afterwards, our radiator needed a thorough cleaning from seeds though.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by Horst M. Vogel
Again, the Moremi GR is another pearl in the string of Botswana's game reserves and national parks. Don't miss it!

Review about Mokolodi Nature Reserve by Horst M. Vogel
Mokolodi is a little gem, in particular if you wish to see rhinos. And, I also loved to stay in their lodges.

Review about Mashatu Game Reserve by Horst M. Vogel
Mashatu is a sure place to see leopards. No where did I see so many leopards in a short period of time.

Review about Makgadikgadi Pans National Park by Horst M. Vogel
Let me state at this point that all the parks and reserves in Botswana are awesome. Yes, they differ in scenery and wildlife composition but their uniqueness is always nature and wildlife pure. If you got a chance to visit several parks, then just do so but choose the time of the year carefully. Because, the Makgadikgadi Pans are very treacherous during the rainy season!

Awesome destination and one of the last paradises left on this crowded plant!
I visited the Okavango Delta on many occasions over a 10-years period between 2000 and 2010. The wildlife is simply awesome and the scenery breathtaking and adventurous. Where on earth may you still be an integral part of nature and wildlife if not in a place such as the Okavango Delta? I mainly did camp at public campsites, where wildlife including elephants and lions were regular and wild dogs occasional visitors. Once in a while, I also enjoyed tented camps, which is luxury pure! What you need is a good 4x4 vehicle, ideally including a winch and a snorkel, and definitely some reliable GPS and a good GPS map, e.g. Tracks 4 Africa, including pre-determined waypoints and routes. If you’ve got the chance to visit Botswana and the Okavango Delta then just go for it. You won’t regret!

Often described as a good introduction to the wildlife and birds of Kenya, this park is a must see.
We were originally planning to skip Nairobi National Park in favor of other destinations, but something came up forcing us to remain in Nairobi an extra day. I'm very glad we visited. It's so much more than just the juxtaposition of megafauna in view of the Nairobi skyline. We saw nearly 100 species of birds in a few hours, and we got to see a lot of large mammals easily, including a lion with blood dripping from its mouth, having just come from a kill. You can actually get out of the vehicle and walk around the hippo pools trail -- the park has a guard at the trailhead who will take you for a tip -- which allowed us to see insects, a nile crocodile, and a number of birds up close in the tall acacias there. It was great because visitors aren't allowed to leave their vehicle in many Kenyan parks. If I make a return trip to Kenya, I will make a point to visit Nairobi National Park again.
