"Our highlight was cruising the Chobe River and watching a herd of elephants swim past our boat. We all held our breathe and could not believe our luck. We have been on several safaris, but watching a herd of elephants with little ones playing in the water was unforgettable."

"Even before arriving at Simbavati, we saw giraffe and steenbok just next to the road and wildebeest crossing it plus a herd of approximately 40 impala nearby. Very beautiful setting, lovely scenery, attentive staff and personal experience. We were welcomed by a warthog grazing on the lush green lawns. This is a beautiful area and I enjoyed our guide, Krueger, very much as he did not only focus on finding game but made it a very enjoyable, productive game drive with information about plants, animal behaviour etc. We also went to the hyena den, saw a small breeding herd of buffalos and lots of elephants."

"We didn't have a lot of time but wanted to explore divers landscapes and experiences. Erica at Safari Specialists recommended to combine Khwai with the Victoria Falls and Hwange. We fell in love with Somalisa where elephants drink from the pool, we would have never expected such close encounters with these big grey gentle giants.”
