    What an amazing trip! We saw the 'Big 5' in the first week! Including TWO leopards. The guides were all shocked. Aaron, our driver, was absolutely the best and when you book this trip (and you should) try to request him. Incredible, organized, kind and knowledgeable. We wish Aaron came with all our Tour Radar trips! The two places you can't miss are Chobe and Motobos. Be aware, this is Africa and the accommodations may not be similar to what you expect. You don't need a lot of clothes as nearly all lodges offer laundry. Weather was cold (for us) so if you come in July-Aug, bring a jacket. Thank you Acacia and to Aaron for making this the trip of our dreams.

    Great tour, well organised, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. 2 suggestions: - please add safari pass amount to overall tour fee and make payable upfront. It’s safer not to carry lots of cash. Also guide does not need all this cash as most fees can be paid by credit card. - tipping is expected on most activities. It’s often difficult to figure out the right amount even with the help of the guide. Suggest to make the guide tip on behalf of the group taking the money from the safari pass or ask everybody to pay a small amount upfront (e.g. USD 10) to the guide.

    Wonderful tour. David our guide was so helpful tailoring the days to suit us. The St Lucia boat tour was a disappointment being mid day when too bright and animals not active and estuary is 'dead' on one side. All other trips and accommodation were great.

    I loved every minute of this tour. We covered a lot of territory, the pace was busy but manageable, and the activities were diverse. I made the right choice by choosing it.

    With much sadness we have just finished our 12 day Delta Chobe Waterways tour in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. The trip was our belated honeymoon and we couldn't have picked a better option. The places we visited and people we met were fascinating, beautiful, friendly and unforgetable. The constant throughout our trip however was our wonderful guide Simon Tawanira. From the very start he was welcoming, helpful and made the trip entirely worry-free. He generously shared so much information about the countries we visited and animals we were fortunate enough to see. We shared many stories and laughs. We will very much miss our fabulous guide and are a little concerned about how we will organise ourselves without him! This was always going to be an amazing trip but Simon made it truly memorable. Any one lucky enough to book a trip with him with have a fantastic time and learn so much. Thank you.

    The tour was amazing travelling from South Africa, Zimbabwe and through to Botswana ,saw some incredible natural wonders such as Vic Falls, national parks and being taken through the Delta river by small canoes. A real slice of heaven. I especially love the camp in the Delta where their had erected a manual shower and a loo our the back of the tent, so when looking up at night you could see the stars, the moon and where surrounded by natural wonders. Hearing the sounds of the night , little reed frogs and the sounds of hippos talking to one another was amazing. Wish the tour was longer and that we could have stayed a little longer in each place to really soak up the vibe of the towns that we visited. Nice small group to travel with 6-7 people and accommodation was far beyond my expectations.
