Fantastic for wildlife
Our day in Chobe was great: we saw quite a variety of wildlife, and a surprising amount too! I couldn't believe the number of elephants, with hippo, buffalo etc all around as well. The river cruise was also great, with a very informative, friendly guide that made the experience a lot of fun.

Amazing and engaging experience not soon forgotten.
Great experience. Sam ,from Kalahari tours ,is a Botswana diamond. Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging making the beautiful scenery of the Chobe that much more appealing. The people we encountered served us graciously and made sure we had more than we needed. From border entry to exit, our trip was a bucket-list experience.

Perfectly executed
Our travel agent at Indigo Safaris did a wonderful job in planning and making the necessary reservations. We were particularly impressed by the coordination and cooperation among the local airlines.

Breathtaking!
What a wonderful place and people. The natural beauty of this country is only amplified by the caring and open people who inhabit it. I was stunned by the abundance of flora and fauna as well as seeing every animal on the Savannah. Well worth a visit.

felt safe in Botswana and the people were friendly and helpful. All children learn English in school so most speak both English and the national tribal language of Setswana.

Amazing animal sightings & bush experience, thanks to xx king Cobra our guide
Botswana is amazing. We saw so many animals up close & personal due to our fantastic guide King Cobra. We saw many more animals in Chobe than in Kruger.

A unique travel experience
Our trip started with the Mack Air transfer across the delta that afforded us a spectacular birdseye view of the terrain. After being dropped off in the northeastern corner of Osiwanga we were driven to our lodge near the edge of Chobe National Park. To our amazement all sorts of animals - including elephants and a giraffe - came right up to our tent. During the day we went on game drives. A high points were the African wild dogs. We followed closely after a group of 13 on the chase, came across the nest of baby ones, and even witnessed an antelope being taken down by three of them. In the evenings we were treated to beautiful sundowners, which at one we were visited by a lurking serval.
We also also spent a day in the Delta exploring the aquatic life by boat. The landscape was spectacular with numerous exotic birds, plenty hippos and elephants as

well as interesting plants. In the evening the staff at the lodge put on a lively show of singing and dancing.Our last day in the north was spent resting in Maun. Before departing for home we went sightseeing and shopping for artfully crafted basketry of exceptional quality in Gaborone. These exquisite artifacts were made in the style of traditional tribal objects by artisans integrating cultural symbols into their individual designs.
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Botswana, the country and its people. How lucky we are that Botswana has set aside such extensive nature reserves for the benefit of Africa's wild animals, and for us all to experience.

Botswana has a special place in my heart.
The game parks of Botswana are arguable the best in the world; a sentiment I have heard from many people. There is a huge variety of safari options. You are more likely to check off your sightings list and get the bush vibe you want than most places. The people of Botswana are very friendly and it is worth your while to hang out with locals. We went during a prolonged drought and still had a great trip. Yet we still have a lot of unfinished business of things to do and see there on our next visit.

Excellent place with great potential
Magnificent sceneries. Mosquitoes are NOT an issue if you travel in May (dry season) - we only noticed a small handful throughout our 12+ day trip. Even sunscreen seemed not so necessary because our trips often involved shades from cars, boats or under trees. (do bring it though).
Bush vibe:
Pros: Dirt roads, huge unfenced parks, mostly no mass tourism accommodations. Very few tourists in central kalahari.
Cons: Some self-drive tourists using their own cars and not contributing to the local economy. More tourists in Chobe.
Unfortunately a lot of garbage, like everyone on this fragile planet.
Overall a definitely worthwhile visit!
