    On the whole, it was a great trip. One hotel matacha crossing in Botswana was not very clean. Guide, Wayne and driver, Iton were very friendly and responsible. It was great that it was a small group tour and everyone got along fine. Most chipped in to do the tasks during meal times and packing up. Certain days, have long travelling hours in very hot weather. Would be great if the truck is air-conditioned. Less dust and heat.
