You listened and captured our unknown desires for this trip. You created memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

Expedition is for those that want to really connect. It is for those seeking adventure. You understood that we wanted to be connected to nature, not be around a lot of people, have an austere experience in the bush yet with luxurious accommodations. We could not have imagined how well you would nail our preferences. Beginning with our travel to the camps. The flights and helicopters were filled with excitement and expertise. We felt well cared for with each transition.

Onto the Delta, African Bush Camps are magical – from the staff to the landscape to the animals to the accommodations and especially the guides. Just wow!

Our placement at Expedition was the perfect way to start our adventure. Expedition makes you feel alive!

Noah, our guide and Witness the second guide were knowledgeable, welcoming and wonderful to safari with. They made each day feel as if it was their first day exploring that area. Their knowledge and welcoming spirit made them fast friends. Noah’s knowledge was unbelievable. He spent time on the flora, fauna, birds and the beautiful traditions of the people in Botswana. We were completely impressed with Noah, Witness and the staff at Expedition.

You also knew that we would want to be there for three nights and four days. I recall pressing you for more and you encouraged me to take your recommendations, and you were right. Our transition to Leadwood happened at the right time. We relaxed and enjoyed the diversity from Expedition to Leadwood. Bonda our guide will forever be in our hearts and will remain a friend for a lifetime. Bonda, who is from the local village, made it feel as if we had a secret guide into the backyard playground of this area. He was respectful of the land and animals. He shared the traditions of his people. His laugh is contagious! He did a great job supporting and teaching Mumzi, one of the trainee female guides – who did a fabulous job, as well.

When I asked if I could bring things to the school kids in the village, African Bush Camps went the extra mile to help facilitate all aspects of this request. Due to your efforts, we were able to support the school in a myriad of ways that they needed. We were impressed to learn the lengths African Bush Camp goes to support the area communities. Our support will be continued going forward.

The lodges were beautiful, the staff caring and the experience wonderful. We will be back!
