What Our Guests SayVerified Amazing Botswanan trip. This was my husband and my 2nd 11day Great north Road trip with Okavanga Expeditions. Our last was 5 years ago and I loved it so much that I chose it for my 50th birthday celebration. It was even more spectacular than the first. We were over the moon to have Paul as our guide again. He is a legend ! Whatever challenges we gave him were met with skill and enthusiasm. I asked to see Secretary birds and yes we saw them. A leopard in a tree, lions chasing prey, lions roaring a few metres in front of us, elephants swimming...the list goes on. He even climbed on the roof of the truck to hunt down some lions. So many lions and Hunting Dogs. Hunting Dogs feeding at 2 different locations. Just amazing. The other staff included Small ,Chika and Mabole. These boys were so lovely and obliging. We had met Small before so we were very happy to see him again. Chika is a wonderful cook . I especially enjoyed his lunches which included Bobote and Chicken vegetable pie. Yum. Mabole served the best G and T and was always on the ready to top up our drinks. The company was on to it when our cruiser had issues and their communication from pre booking to post trip has been excellent. The tents are well set up and the beds really comfortable. The ensuite was great with a European toilet and decent shower. The cruiser was also very comfortable and having windproof ponchos was a luxury. Thank you Okavanga Expeditions again.Verified Helluva Experience I absolutely loved this trip. Incredibly well organised, with excellent staff, unreal camping locations, vast wildlife sightings, brilliant food and accomodation. This was my first time to visit Botswana, and Africa, and was blown away by the whole tour and set up. Very well looked after, and wanted for nothing. Had a ball. A real connection back with nature, and all that it encompasses. Good for the heart and soul.Verified Trip of a lifetime We had the best 9 days on a camping safari around Botswana - I was initially a little unsure as to what the camping facilities would be like and how I would feel being in the wild- but it completely exceeded my expectations. The camp staff were super accomodating and have really got the trip down to a fine art- from hot water bottles at night, sunset to sunrise game drives, to all the little activities in between. It was great to travel around 4 different camp sites as each offers a unique landscape. Max our guide was incredible, such an intuitive guide with a real knowledge for the land and animals. I felt really looked after in his care and really appreciated all his efforts in making it the best safari we could have. Thanks heaps to Dirk and the team for organising this for us - was such an incredible trip and loved every minuteVerified Definitely GO with Okavango! What a wonderful experience of animals, birds and plant life! The team who looked after us were like family by the end, singing and celebrating with us! The Guide was very knowledgeable and skillful in getting us into the best locations and photo-angles. A Trip of a lifetime for sure!!!!.Verified Just DO IT! I truly can’t recommend this experience more highly! It’s life changing! Okavango Expeditions is a very professional organisation providing an EXCEPTIONAL experience! Isaac our guide was an amazing team leader and tracker and ensured that we got up close to so many extraordinary animals in their natural environment. We saw and did way more than one would expect, so much so that we find it impossible to put into words just how amazing this bucket list trip was! The chef Chicka was unbelievably talented and the food he presented each & every meal, over an open fire, was something I would be very proud to prepare in my own kitchen! The team looked after us with such care and worked SO hard to ensure that we had every luxury possible even though we were camping! I also feel that the mobile safari gives an opportunity to experience 3 very different environments and the animals that inhabit each area! The landscapes were also so diverse and so incredibly beautiful!I would highly recommend Okavango expeditions to anyone especially if this is their first experience of Africa! Phenomenal!Verified Just do it! Ten blissful days of mobile tent safari, it was a trip of a lifetime. Our guide, Isaac, was knowledgeable, hospitable, patient and kept us safe. The cook delivered nutritious, delicious meals every day. The camp workers ensured that our living arrangements were comfortable and hygienic. A welcoming fire greeted us every night when we returned to camp as well as warm African hospitality. All I had to do was enjoy the beautiful African bush and the astonishing animals.Verified Fabulous camping safari in Botswana We had a fabulous trip, Our guide Paul and the camp staff were fabulous! - always friendly and helpful. We saw heaps of animals and took some great photos. The camp set up and food was great and we loved both the hot water showers and hot water delivery in the mornings. Our guide was very informative and willingly shared his knowledge and expertise with us!Verified An Amazing Safari My wife and I decided to go on a ten day camping safari with Okavango Expeditions after our travel agent highly recommended the trip…. And it was no wonder that she recommended them so highly! The safari was amazing. The guides and all the team went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and had an amazing experience. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The team did lots of ‘little things’ to make to trip truely memorable like making a birthday cake in the camp oven and many other things to make sure the safari was, for us, the trip of a lifetime! I thoroughly recommend Okavango ExpeditionsVerified This was the best Of our three safari experiences in Botswana, this was our favourite. Sleeping in a campsite where animals may walk through at any time, being so well looked after by the staff who cooked tasty meals over a fire and made sure we felt safe, and blazing stars overhead at night. Our group was small, our campsites isolated, and our guide Isaac was an amazing educator, pointing out so many things about the natural landscape in addition to the beautiful animals, giving us plenty of time to observe, and answering all our questions.Verified Holiday of a lifetime! It was the most amazing experience and exceeded every expectation in every way. The guides were fantastic, the beds comfortable and the food was amazing. Highly recommendLoad more
