We definitely expected more from this trip.
Our hotel pick up at 5.30 ran very smoothly and efficiently, we had a great driver who pointed out to us various animals on the road en route. Hyena, elephants and a giraffe. Border crossing into Botswana also very smooth, we were the only people going through at sunrise.
The early morning game drive advertised to us at 2 hours (7-9) ended up only being just just an hour long, we were hanging around at breakfast afterwards for about an hour, not 30 mins as stated in the itinerary. No drinks besides water are included in this tour. We didn't mind having to pay for our coffees at breakfast as they were super cheap, just the sort of thing you'd expect to be included.
The day time game drive between 9.30-12.20 was fine. We saw lots of giraffes, elephants, buffalo and more - no cats, but we didn't really expect to this time of year, (the bush was quite green and overgrown still).
But we were a little disappointed to see other safari vehicles in the park almost empty and ours completely full to capacity in terms of guests. It would have been more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone if we were split into two groups.
The lunch at Cresta lodge was ok, nice surroundings and on the river. We watched monkeys, mongoose and warthogs in the grounds.
The boat cruise after left a bit late as the organisers lost a few people in the group. They weren't very clear on timings to be honest.
We were given a choice of 2 time options for the boat via email but when it came to it only given the option of the earlier time of 1.30pm.
This trip is advertised as a 'sunrise til sunset' tour which is misleading. We were in the car back to the border by 4.30 (at the latest) so ultimately we did leave feeling disappointed by the entire thing.
We would not book this trip again and would go for a different operator.
