Botswana Safari

Country forums / Africa / Botswana

Have traveled in Africa in 2009 and 2010; South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. All were escorted "luxury" tours through General Tours. Now planning on a change with Botswana and looking into Go2Africa.
Itinerary seems interesting: Nata Sanctuary; Nxai Pan National Park; Maun; Xaxanaka, Moremi Game Reserve; Okavango Delta & North shore; Savuti & Serondella Chobe and then Victoria Falls.

Has anyone done tis itinerary and/or used go2Africa??

thnx much for the assistance!!

Hi Meek -

My name is Custard and I was born and raised in Maun, Botswana.
I don't know of Go2Africa but your places of interest sounds like a great trip. One company I know of is Delta Waterfront Adventure Safaris. There website is under construction but you can email them at deltawaterfrontadventuresafaris@yahoo.com. They do luxury tours to these places with competitive pricing.

Thanks,
Custard

Hi, meekone1- Not sure if you are still planning your trip? I'm also an American and have been living in South Africa for nearly 5 years now. I just got back from a holiday in some of the places you're thinking - Xakanaka / Okavango, Sevuti and Victorial Falls. I can definitely recommend the journey - it is really beautiful and depending on the time of the year you will see more or less animals. If you are going in the drier season the animal sightings are spectacular. A short description of some of the campsites and animals you will be seeing can be found at http://bit.ly/fm1x6c - I went in end December and it was just starting to rain - only cloudbursts for 20 or so minutes at a time, maybe once a day (some days none) and we saw lots of elephant, impala, zebra, hippos of course, etc. The roads were ok so long as your driver knows how to handle a 4x4... of all the places, sevuti was the most amazing - elephants roam the camp at night, one even came next to our tent and grazed from the tree over our heads. Enjoy the journey!
