Since we just went last week, and since many people just read the first part of a review, let me begin by saying that the immigration in Botswana did NOT ask for any COVID information. We had been told that a negative COVID test - within 48 hours of the trip - would be needed for people -like us - who were not fully vaccinated, so I arranged for a nurse to come from a lab to the hotel to do a COVID test for us two days prior to the trip. When we did the border crossing, no traveler was asked anything about proof of COVID shots or negative COVID tests so we realized that we had spent $80 for nothing! I made a comment to the Botswana tour guide, and he said that COVID is no big deal anymore and nothing is asked about it anymore. Also, we were never asked to pay a park fee. Now, on to more of the review. I highly, highly recommend this tour. We were picked up promptly at our hotel. The driver and other staff member were very friendly. On the Botswana side, we had great guides. We saw so much!! The tour was well-planned and done with ease. Lunch was delicious. It was a superb outing!
