Everything was organised fantastically !!!!! Loved our printed itinerary book & information given - not all others on our Botswana trip had that!Our Botswana tour had 10pax. Traveled on a AC mini bus which has great with charge ports for phones etc. Both our driver & Guide were Top class!!! There was lots of miles covered overall, however having said that, each different site / NP we moved to had different experiences & worth the effort. It is a tour that is go go go, but for those who want to see as much as possible in 2/52 in Botswana, highly recommended. It was great we did Robin Pope tour second as this was much slower paced. As lodges are inside the Sth Luwanga NP, there was not as much driving. Big bonus was the speed limit in NP is 40km, but mostly you traveled 15-20kph- making it feel like a 'Sunday Drive ' compared to earlier tour. Wildlife there was great - lots more predators easily seen & far less people. RP lodges & staff are just top class as far as we were concerned , our 3/7 safari walking part was 'thrilling!! to say the least.
