Botswana Safari
Hi All-
I'm looking to go to Botswana this coming November 2004 (starting early/mid November) I have been to Kenya/Tanz/Zimbabwe in 2000. My goal is to visit the Okavango, Kalahari and possibly Savute/Moremi. I'm looking for something that will last upwards of 13-14 days. Can someone please share their experience with me, and please recommend a tour operator that will make this an unforgettable experience. Thanks much in advance. Harsha |

Can someone please share their experience with me, and please recommend a tour operator that will make this an unforgettable experience. Been to Botswana three times, last two were organised by Abercrombie and Kent - cant fault their organisation. We've stayed at a variety of camps, which have probably changed hands several times! For example, on one trip we were using Ker and Downey camps (Pom Pom, Shinde and Machabe) which are no longer owned by K&D so I'm not sure how useful any specific recommendations would be. The last time we went (about 5 years ago I think) we went to Jack's Camp on the outskirts of the Kalahari - it was certainly 'an experience' but I'm not sure I'd recommend it as it takes 2 or 3 days out of your itinerary, including getting there and back and a two night stay. I cant remember what the weather will be like in Nov/Dec - we've always been in July/august and seen varying amounts of water in the Delta area. You havent said whether you are 'budget' or 'luxury'? Botswana does tend to be expensive. We've thoroughly enjoyed our trips there, and it is a lovely contrast to the Kenya/Tanzania experience. -- Rita Daggett |
