Overall rating

4.7
(124 reviews)

It was an overall very good experience. Pick up was very timely with Ernest, transport was comfortable and fast, formalities at the border with Botswana were very nicely done (one stop border point), and our guide was very helpfull (his name was Nature). Drink/ at lunch are not included and you will want to bring small change cash usd for that because they will not be willing to change for anything larger than five usd (but card payments are possible). The place where you enter the boat in the afternoon is also the place where you have lunch and it's a very beautiful resort. The food was buffet style and quite nice.

A really well thought out program. The river cruise already offers some great photo opportunities. The lunch buffet was more than plentiful, even for us vegetarians. The drivers in the park keep in good contact with each other and really make sure that you can photograph as many animals as possible. Towards the end, a family of elephants crossed the road right in front of us. That was the icing on the cake.

Enjoyed the trip, was great in that the game drive was two fold. One as a game drive where we saw animals on land and then as a boat drive where we viewed animals from the water and island. Saw most animals including lion and buffalo, elephant etc . The lunch was amazing I give it all the stars very delicious and top notch. Wouldn’t change anything except maybe more choice of snacks on the game drive.

We saw a lot of animals, both land and river animals. The guides were very nice, they took care of the whole group. Halfway through the attraction we had a delicious lunch in a beautiful hotel. The trip was definitely worth the price, and the impressions were priceless.

Was wbsolutely stunning, guide was attentive and very friendly....worth every cent!!
