The logistics were seamless for all the flights and transfers. Everything went according to schedule, every flight, every transfer, easy-peasy. That was terrific. The lodges had great food, variety, preferences, quality, top notch. I really loved Moremi and Muchenje – the game drives were awesome, the owners/managers/staff were all great, the setup was great. Hyena Pan, I did not like the terrain of the mopane forest and the game was harder to see. There were few people there and that detracted from the experience. Having said that, their location on a waterhole was very cool, the elephants came right up to the swimming pool, and they had an elephant hide setup that was fantastic. So, I wouldn’t have given that part up. It was very intense to be constantly moving, either on drives or changing lodges. Vic Falls was of course spectacular, the helicopter ride on my bday was amazing while the rafting, that was scary. That particular hotel was a terrific location, and I very much appreciate that you got us a room with a view of the falls misting up from the canyon. They had a cake and a bottle of champagne in our room when we arrived. What’s not to like?

The next stop is Moremi Game Reserve, where the long necks of a family of giraffe materialise slowly out of the skyline and graceful sitatunga hide in the reeds. The secluded Selinda offers the opportunity to feel the Africa earth beneath your feet as you discover the marvel of the bush on guided safari walks. In the famed Chobe National Park elephant wander dreamily into camp and hippo slumber as you float down the river on a sunset cruise.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
The best time to travel to Botswana for game viewing is the dry season from April to October. The otherwise bone-dry Central Kalahari, Nxai Pan and Makgadikgadi Pans are great to visit from December to February to see migrating zebra, elephant and buffalo.
