13 Day WILDERNESS TRAIL: Best Of Northern Botswana -WildCamping + Victoria Falls

We had booked the tour in 2020 before pandemic and finally in August 2022 we could start it. In these two years we were updating with Maria and Chris, excellent customer care. The tour was perfectly organized, the mobile camping staff was excellent and professional, we enjoyed avery single moment in the wilderness. The accomodation in Maun studios was very nice, the owners are kind and always available for a ride to bring you to dinner or town. The lodges are also excellent Kubu lodge in Chobe and Masuwe lodge in Victoria Falls. Chris as responsible of ground staff and organization came to the airport and provided the briefing of the tour and was always available for any info or request asking us time to time feedback about how the trip was going. We spent unforgettable days. Thank you to Maria, Chris and all the mobile camping staff! we hope to come back to visit again Botswana!

I'm a retired senior, travelled most continents, but not Africa until this August. I love to rough it in nature, but am health conscious. I was a bit apprehensive about health hazard in traveling Africa. My August trip debunked my concerns. It's a very uniquely awesome experience, unexpectedly safe and comfortable. I joined a 6-traveller group lead by Helen Davies for her Botswana and Victoria Falls trip. I chose her after reading her Africa travel blogs - she travelled Africa extensively. Besides being experienced, knowledgable, she is also a very caring, organized yet flexible trip leader. We saw so many animals in amazingly close-up: Lions, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, just to name a few. Also countless variety of beautiful birds. We visited aborigines, bush walk with them, learned a lot about their life skills, art, music and dance. Half of the days, we stayed in hotels and other days, we camped in tents. A local group setup the tents, each with a bathroom and hot shower! Cooked meals on camp fires.We don't need to do anything but enjoy the safari and freshly cooked food. Helen hires many local small business groups to facilitate our trip. She must have good connections and made good choices - these local groups were very competent, so our whole trip went without a hitch, and the price of the trip is reasonable. The local groups were also very friendly and helpful - another way for us to enjoy contact with Africans. I saw a very few mosquitos and no tse tse flies. I feel very lucky to have went with Helen for my first Africa trip - definitely a memory to be treasured.
