Staff are very happy and friendly. Great atmosphere. They seemed happy together which was lovely to see. The African singing as a welcome and the entertainment before dinner was a lovely touch.
We arrived into Heathrow this morning after our adventure in Botswana and Zambia. We had a wonderful trip. The camps in Botswana and Siankaba Island lodge on the Zambesi were all well chosen and excellent. All arrangements including the various small plane flights and road transfers worked like clockwork. Thanks for checking up too on the luggage allowances /sizes, we were just right.
We were deeply impressed with the whole experience in both Botswana and Zambia. Both Kwando Camps and Siankaba are committed to involving and training the locals to work in their lodges and help develop their skills. Sianbaka is clearly critical to the local village providing water and schooling to a very impoverished immediate area. We were very pleased and impressed with the commitment of both Kwando and Siankaba to ethical tourism.
We had lots of wonderful game drives too!
We would be happy to provide more in depth feedback when we have had some sleep but felt we wanted to thank you immediately for planning and organising such a memorable experience. You have personally been very helpful throughout. We will have no hesitation recommending Kwando Camps, Siankaba & Rainbow Tours to our friends.
Thoroughly enjoyed it here
Fantastic experience. Tim was a superb guide. Food sensational.
It was a fabulous experience and we will go back to Botswana at some stage as the place and people are utterly terrific.
Wow what can I say? We have enjoyed every day of our wonderful trip to Botswana and Zambia. Although it was a relatively short trip we have had so many highlights it felt as though we were away much longer. The three camps/lodges were each very different so we had a real contrast- all special in different ways. We loved the elephants on the Chobe River, the isolation and beauty of the delta and the magnificence of the Victoria Falls. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly, the guides were fantastic and the transfers between camps all ran smoothly. Everything was so well organised for us that we were just able to relax and enjoy the experience.
It was supposed to be a trip of a lifetime but we are already talking about next time! We have decided that we must go on another safari holiday at some stage as we didn't manage to spot a leopard this time - well that's our excuse! Thank you for planning it all so efficiently and for your prompt responses to all my questions. You made the process very easy for us. With grateful thanks.
Kirsten was extremely helpful in putting together a holiday which was brilliant. A highlight was the amazing Selinda canoe safari as it felt like a real privilege to be somewhere truly wild.
Wonderful experience - can't fault it!
Great location and view of the ocean. Our guide was also brilliant.
We have travelled throughout Africa (South Africa, Lesotho, Kenya, Namibia and Tanzania), doing what we thought would be similar trips. Our trip to Botswana was head and shoulders above all previous experiences – Fabulous!!
Both guides were great, but Alberto (Jao Camp) went above and beyond what was asked – great company and so informative about Botswana.
[Stayed at Kings Pool and Jao Lodge]
We have had a fantastic holiday, Kwando Lagoon Camp was excellent in all areas, and the guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very interesting to talk with. The camp staff could not have done more for us…we will return.
We have had a fantastic holiday, Lagoon camp was excellent in all areas, the guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very interesting to talk with. The camp staff could not have done more for us and the management should be very proud of them all. They put on a fantastic impromptu singing and gave the bride and groom a lovely surprise for their honeymoon. We will return
Overall, a fabulous holiday. All worked perfectly well, the people were friendly & helful and the itinerary was excellent. The food on the Selinda Canoe Trail was particularly excellent. Thank you Helen!
Stayed at Islands of Siankaba Zambia, Selinda Canoe Trail & Camp Okuti in Botswana.
I would like to thank you for putting together a fantastic Botswana holiday for us. We had a wonderful time in all the camps. We really enjoyed out time in the bush in Botswana. It is a beautiful place completely different then the time we spent in Kenya. The camps we great along with the food, service and activities. We would definitely recommend all of the places that we stayed. We were just one away from seeing the 'Big 5' on our first safari in Kenya, so we were very keen to spot a leopard this time. Not only did we see one, buy 4 total and we got some incredible pictures. We ended up with over 900 photos from out trip. One big highlight was the pack of wild dogs that we were able to follow and watch hunt and make a kill, fantastic!
Benjamin from Letaka Safaris could not have been more helpful, enthusiastic and Considerate, a credit to the company and far exceeded our expectation
All the guides at Little Mombo Camp were excellent… absolutely superb.
We have returned from our honeymoon and it was amazing. Thank you for helping arrange it. We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
(Rainbow Tours) provided through, informative and personal contact throughout, [and were] very efficient and friendly! For two of us it was our first visit to Africa and exceeded all our expectations. Thank you Rainbow!
Linyanti Bush Camp was certainly my favorite. Wonderful sunsets and walking experience.
The itinerary was excellent, especially the boat transfer between the two camps [Kwara Camp and Xakanaxa]. I have used Rainbow Tours for the past 3 years… I will use Rainbow Tours again.
I felt nearer to nature here! Guides excellent.
We were pleased with the varied selection of camps and habitats which allowed us to see a wide variety of birds and animals during the holiday.
Very comfortable and excellent food. Well managed.
Excellent experience and excellent hosts at Shinde Camp
Excellent starting point to our holiday.
An excellent trip made all the better by the smooth and efficient travel arrangements. We may never have a better experience.
Staff tried really hard. Good location for anyone who find safari tracks uncomfortable.
Despite a 3 day freak weather situation (electrical storm) the trip overall was still excellent. Botswana is a top game area and it is possible I may do the same trip again in a couple of years, as I thought the itinerary was very good. The campsites were terrific. The quality of the meals was unbelievably good and the three support staff were very professional and hard working.
The guides at both Little Kwara & Kwando Lagoon were excellent. Both made extra efforts to ensure excellent positioning for game viewing. The game viewing was the most important aspect and that was superb. However, the very friendly and knowledgeable staff plus the top class food and accommodation made the trip absolutely first class. The trip from a game viewing perspective, as well as the camps themselves, were absolutely first class.
Kwando Lagoon was exactly what I was looking for, perhaps even better than I was expecting. Superb game viewing.
The walking safari at Selinda Camp was a highlight of our trip. Gordon, Robson, Humphrey and Constance looked after us brilliantly.
