Botswana Reviews
Review 1
What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
There were many but highlights were : 1. Victoria Falls – swimming in the devil’s pool. Helicopter flight over the falls. Stunning vistas from both Zambian and Zimbabwe sides. 2. Getting up close and personal with wild life (literally!) – Lions in Antelope Park, Zimbabwe and Lion Park, Jo’burg, SA – Cheetahs in Otjitotongwe, Namibia, Fur Seal in Swakopmund, Namibia, Elephants in Livingstone And Ostriches in Oudtshoorn, SA. 3. Namib desert – Climbing dune 45 at sunrise, sunset views at Spitzkoppe. Stunning and unusual landscapes at Sossusvlei, Deadvlei and Fish River Canyon. 4. Having a go at Quad biking in Sawkopmund, Namibia. As I was inexperienced I went on the easy ride, fun nevertheless. 5. Mokoro rides in the Okavango delta, Botswana. 6. Numerous game parks – including Kruger, Milwane, St Lucia Wetlands, Addo Elephant Park, Etosha, Chobe, Hwange and Antelope Park – Plenty of wildlife and birds, hopefully I have some good photos (work in progress) – Watching animals come to the water holes, particularly at Etosha and Hwange National Parks.
What did you think of your tour leader?
I had 2 tour leaders, Alan on Pretoria to Vic Falls section and Trimo from Vic Falls to Pretoria. Both were very good and knowledgable about Southern Africa. Both were accompalised tour leaders. In addition the cooks and drivers on both sections were also excellent.
