Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip was wonderful, basically everything we had hoped for. We were looking for great scenery in Namibia and lots of animals in Botswana, and our time in each country surpassed our expectations. The lodges were very professional, the guides were outstanding. This particular trip we were looking to have everything completely taken care of. Personnel met us at each airport, basically we were shepherded through the entire two weeks, and that was what we were looking for.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

This trip is so much different than a typical trip to Europe or the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, etc. We wanted to see tons of wildlife; in Botswana it is all animals all the time! In two weeks we probably saw 500+ elephants, 30 lions, four leopards, countless zebras and giraffes and antelope. Seeing so many animals was an amazing lifetime experience. A close second was spending so many hours every day with knowledgeable and personable guides, and then spending evenings over drinks at the lodge sharing the day's experiences with travelers from around the world.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

In Botswana it was really good to spend a full three days in each of the two camps. We also stayed in a desert camp, Doro Nawas in northern Namibia. Spent three nights there also and were able to find enough to do. However for most people I am convinced two nights there would be sufficient. That's the only thing we might do differently.
We were prepared for the heat, but I will say that going from an exceptionally cold early North American autumn to 100+ Fahrenheit early summer in Africa really slowed us down and took a while to accommodate .
