This is a review written by a special client of mine from America, who planned his safari with me over many months, for travel in November, 2018. Mike had gone through a rough time and this adventure with three of his friends meant so much to him. A huge thankyou Mike and I’m so glad you had a fantastic time!
Tania,
I am writing to let you know that my colleagues and I had an awesome trip and want to thank you for organizing such a thoughtful schedule. First of all, the preparation you put into our Safari was perfect. Your description of each of the four camps we visited was very informative and prepared us well for what we were about to experience as well as how to spend our time at each locale. The succession of camps was in a perfect order as we ascended into the wild. At Elephant Camp, in Zimbabwe, we had a superb tour of Victoria Falls and our guide’s knowledge of both the Country’s history and the geology was superb. The camp, beside an array of wildlife, also offers a fantastic opportunity to individually interact with a herd of Elephants and a 5 year old cheetah.
This prepared us for our first stop in Botswana and the county’s abundance of untamed wildlife. We first went to the Chobe Game Lodge which was a 5 star facility. While the accommodations pampered us, the excursions into the bush were packed with wildlife.
From Chobe, we took a single engine flight further into the bush to Savute Safari Lodge. Savute was loaded with wildlife. We saw everything we could hope for with the exception of Rhinos which simply were not in our segment of the park. The accommodations here too were excellent although a bit more rustic than Chobe.
What we didn’t see at Savute we saw at our fourth camp in Moremi Game Reserve. We reached Camp Moremi again by single engine aircraft. The guides at Savute and Moremi were not only able to locate an extraordinary number of species but also were very knowledgeable about the individual species family, hunting and other practices. They brought the wondrous sightings to life for us and made us feel a part of the surroundings. The food was very good and the various sets of staff were not only professional, service oriented and polite but they were all so friendly and welcoming.
We have assembled a little book of photos documenting our trip and are sending you a copy. As I said above, we saw everything, learned so much and were treated so well it was more than we could have hoped for. I would recommend your firm, Everywhere Botswana, and your services to anyone considering an African experience.
We finished the trip with a two day stay in Cape Town which was beautiful and full of fun.
Tania, the four I us cannot thank you enough for bringing your professional skills to bear on our trip and for providing us with the experience of a lifetime. The African wildlife is a precious resource which everyone should come to appreciate.
Thanks again,
Mike Stark
