Africa trip

The cost of the trip was detailed and clear. All the arrangements were good and everything went as scheduled. The Vamoos app was a really useful tool.

Great service

Anna and Louise were really great at organising this trip..I tested their patience by chopping and changing so many times,and they worked around this without a murmur. When a fast jet flight from maun to vic falls was suddenly cancelled whilst I was in the middle of the bush,Anna immediately organised a safari air charter and road transfers within hours. Very happy with the service, highly recommended.

Everything went so smoothly

Everything went so smoothly. Nothing was left to chance and I was always where I was meant to be when I was meant to be there. All decisions had been made for me so I could just relax and enjoy.

I felt supported by your team every step of the way and the experiences I had were truly amazing. A great combination of locations too.

Louise Fitzgerald planned our trip

Louise Fitzgerald planned our trip. She was amazing to work with. Very responsive. Knowledgeable of the countries we visited - So. Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana.
Our 14 day trip was one we will never forget and never be able to replicate. Our camps were great - Old Drift Lodge, Savute Safari, Shinde. Thank you!!!

A fist class curated experience.

We stayed at four safari ‘camps’ in the Okavango Delta and enjoyed each one. Louise connected all the dots so we (two couples), were able to relax and not worry about the next stage, it had all been prearranged and ran like clockwork. The Botswana safari, a lifetime experience, was the focus of our trip but Okavango Delta Vacations took over from our arrival in Johannesburg until our departure from Cape town, hotels, transfers and personal guided tours some three weeks later.

Louise did an amazing job of matching us with a truly unforgettable, magical experience. The camp and game viewing, part of my father's "farewell tour," exceeded his expectations, and Louise handled every detail and question so that we could concentrate on enjoying the trip. (This included helping us time our arrival in Maun and navigate some of Botswana's ... less maintained roads.)

Wonderful adventure in the Okovango Delta

Anna, our consultant, was extremely helpful and informative. She knew exactly what we were looking for and found us the ideal safari experience in terms of cost, comfort and adventure. She was always there to answer our questions and suggest exciting options we hadn't considered. We got to experience a water camp, a traditional Safari and a wonderful night fly camping. We had an amazing time in the Okavango Delta and at Victoria Falls and couldn't recommend Anna and the company highly enough

The Chobe Game Lodge is a spectacular…

The Chobe Game Lodge is a spectacular place, and more importantly is filled with warm, wonderful, delightful and perceptive people! The staff were truly the highlight - they all knew my name, and truly were able to anticipate any needs or preferences after only a few minutes. The wildlife were truly amazing, and the overall experience was dramatically amplified by the interactions with the staff and other guests.

Dear Michael,

That's wonderful to hear, thank you so much for this feedback. With a limited time to visit the Okavango Delta it is so important to select the right camp - I'm delighted you were pleased with all the arrangements.

Hope to welcome you back to the Okavango some day.

Booked room and tour in Botswana

Booked room and tour in Botswana. Tour was waste of time given local rain in past 90 days prior to event.

Dear Ric,

Thank you for sharing your feedback - and for elaborating further. I'm sorry you were disappointed by the day trip to Victoria Falls, particularly due to the large amount of spray restricting the visibility which is normal at this time of year. All your feedback on this was much appreciated.

I hope you might return to explore other parts of this beautiful region some day, we would be delighted to help.

Best wishes

First class service. Look no further for your Botswana needs

Absolutely first class service from Okavango Delta Explorations booking our dream Botswana trip for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Bespoke itinerary created by Louise, taking in 2 camps in the Okavango Delta and 2 lodges in Savute and Chobe (all Desert & Delta operated) finishing at Victoria Falls. Superb professional, knowledgeable and friendly comms from initial contact and throughout the whole process. Great use of Vamoos App for purposes of reference and messaging too. Will most certainly be using Okavango Delta Explorations again when we book our next Botswana trip. Highly recommended.
