Very pristine, untouched wilderness, yet 5 star service and offering in Wilderness camps.

Although we found Botswana beautiful, it did not have the typical majestic beauty many people assume is present throught Africa. There were no giant mountains or lakes, just simple unadulterated lovely wilderness.

Botswana is very developed in terms of facilities and wildlife viewing. They are very ecologically conservationists and have taken great care of their parks.

The flight schedules of Botswana's airline change frequently, causing me a lot of trouble with my itinerary. The quality of service provided by local travel agencies is not good.

The parks and accommodation are amazing. Just do not travel on the dirt road from south to north to the entrance of Moremi game reserve entrance (south gate). We got shaken to pieces for hours on that road.

The Kalahari was a wonderful place with different animals to what we had seen on previous safaris, such as the wonderful bat eared foxes and wild cat. Not the best time to visit as the rains stopped us going to many areas due to the mud. We did get stuck once for an hour before being rescued, all part of the experience as were the scorpions. From the Kalahari our well laid plans went to pot as hotel Baobab had a big fire in November so was closed for renovation. Our guide changed the itinerary and took us to Khwai and into the Savuti part of the Chobe reserve. The areas were lovely but it was a lot of travelling on dirt roads and not what we had planned. We did see more animals in these areas mostly ones we had seen previously. Our best experience was spending 25 minutes with beautiful male Leopard. He was walking at the side of the road coming towards us and was not bothered at all about the car, we got some wonderful photographs and even managed to turn the car around and follow
Read more him as he scent marked along his territory. It had been raining and our guide said that, he is staying near the road as he does not want to get his fur wet in the long grass. Eventually as he walked away from the road he was spotted by the Impala, a great noise they all made warning of his presence. We were doing luxury camping, it was very comfortable but often very hot and washing water was in short supply. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna but sometimes he over egged the pudding.
