Incredible experience that exceeded my expectations! From the beginning organization and planning was excellent. We had some special requests for the meals, since my wife doesn't eat meat, and they were able to accommodate us nicely. The guys were friendly and hard working. The guide was knowledgeable and a good driver (we saw plenty of self-drive people stuck in the sand). As far as camping goes, it was quite posh. They set up everything for you, cook you excellent meals, and even give you warm water to wash up in the morning, and an opportunity to shower (camp shower). Much nicer than I expected. We saw solo many animals! Here's a list:
Hippo
Lion
Leopard
Elephant
Hyenas
Giraffe
Gnu
Impala
Kudu
Mongoose
Black back jackal
Wild dogs
Water buck
Water monitor lizard
Steenbock
Zebra
Crocodile
Sable
Birds
Red billed horn bill
Lilac breasted sholla
Copper tailed cuca
Guinea fowl
Crowned clover
African fish eagle
Stork
Grey Lorry (go away bird)
Marabú stork
Ibis
And those are just the ones we wrote down. Beware the days are very hot, but the nights get very cold, so bring warm clothes also. Blankets were provided, so we managed. One unavoidable thing was there was a lot of driving on rough roads, and we were pretty worn out from that. Overall amazing experience!
