A Magical Location for a Wild Bush Safari

5 / 5 5 /5

We stayed in a couple of "posh tent" lodges in the middle of the park. It was very exciting because we flew in on a light aircraft and were picked up by a 4x4 to take us to the lodge. Both lodges we stayed in were fantastic and very atmospheric - we got woken up at 3am one night by an elephant eating the tree outside out tent!

The guides were all very professional and had great knowledge of the area and the wildlife. We liked the concept of setting up a table in a clearing and stopping for tea and cakes for the morning and a cocktail for sunset.

Due to the time of the year the big animals were a little patchy - we could go for 30-60 mins and only see antelope - we did see everything we wanted to see with the exception of a leopard (notoriously shy).

We loved it and are currently saving up to go again!

Very pristine, untouched wilderness, yet 5 star service and offering in Wilderness camps.

Although we found Botswana beautiful, it did not have the typical majestic beauty many people assume is present throught Africa. There were no giant mountains or lakes, just simple unadulterated lovely wilderness.

Botswana is very developed in terms of facilities and wildlife viewing. They are very ecologically conservationists and have taken great care of their parks.

Botswana completely broke my sense of scale and I mean that in the best way. The wildlife, the landscapes, the people, the conservation story, all of it is just extraordinary. I came not knowing what to expect and left forever changed and already planning the next trip. 10/10 no notes. 🌍🐘

Spiritually transformative and a great deal of fun!

Botswana has just the right bush to animal ratio, by which I mean there is enough open land to see a lot of animals and enough bush to keep them close to the road. Every time we turned around, there were elephants. The river trip allowed us to view tons - literally - of hippos. We saw a huge herd of Cape Buffalo, and all the other animals you would expect. We took a short night drive to see the Milky Way, and also saw a pack of Wild Dogs. The weather was perfect and the accomodations very comfortable. Coming from Miami, I especially noticed the silence! It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Okavango Delta is a world apart from anything else we have experienced. Kwando Splash and Lagoon Camps were beyond expectations. The sightings, and the closeness of the animals, were breathtaking. Of our many travels, this is a trip we would absolutely do again with very minor changes.

Wayfairer worked to include everything we hoped for, and were there when we needed direction after a delay occurred. Kudos to the team for watching over us and making sure all was put back in order.

Must-do experience for anyone who enjoy the bush and its wildlife

The Okavango Delta is truly amazing and seeing it from a boat, safari vehicle or the air is a stunning experience. The untamed landscape is teeming with wildlife and it’s unfenced so you can see wildlife on the main roads as well as the bush. We also visited Chobe which is a mighty river too. Again, loads of wildlife and excellent lodges to stay in.

Chloe at Off 2 Africa was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in customizing my trip. The trip that we worked out was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone.

We had a wonderful time in Botswana visiting 3 regions ( Chobe National Park,River Khwai,Okavanko Delta)
Especially the Okavanko Delta impressed with its natural beauty.
Our trip was well organised and everything run smoothly.Everyone looking after us was very friendly,professional and we were warmly welcomed everywhere.
