When we first thought of going on a Safari in Botswana and I contacted The Safari Partners, Chris responded to my ideas with a detailed proposal and itinerary that reflected our wishes completely. The organization of our trip from beginning in Johannesburg to the end in Maun was excellent. All transfers and flights between locations went smoothly and on time. The lodges were very good with spacious accommodations and bathrooms and outstanding service. The people and staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was great and well presented. The game drives and boat cruises were superb with very knowledgeable guides who knew the territories and how to spot the animals. We started out in Zimbabwe at the A’Zambezi Lodge right on the Zambezi river to explore the Victoria Falls highlighted by a helicopter flight over the falls. Then we travelled into Botswana to the Chobe Game Lodge located in Chobe Nationl Park right on the Chobe River. The next stops were Savute Safari Lodge in the flatlands and Okavanga Tented Camp in the Okavanga Delta. Our last visit was at Deception Valley Lodge in the Kalahari Desert. On game drives and river cruises we saw all the animals – big and small close-up – we wanted to see except for Rhinos who are kept in Botswana in a conservation area for protection from poaching and to increase their numbers again. Large varieties of Birds are in abundance everywhere. We took a total of over 5000 pictures of National Geographic quality. It was fantastic – it was the trip of a Lifetime – exceptionally well organized and executed. Link to This Review
