- RLRichard· October 18th, 2025Sam was a great guide, showing us how to spot animal behaviors and tracking wildlife. He is a highly competent and very communicative guide and Driver.The food was very good, well prepared and plentiful. The staff in every location accommodated my gluten-free sugar-free requirement with Grace and entertaining options. Some of the drives were too far. Too many hours in the truck bouncing around. The houseboat lacked screens and the high temperature and high humidity was less than fun. During our five day rough camp, the afternoon recess where there was no place to get away from the extreme heat was less than ideal. And if you could put a better refrigerator in the truck it would help as well.Show more
Explore! commented on this reviewThank you for such a lovely four star review! It's so great to see you had a great time in Botswana with us, and thank for you for your kind words about your Tour Leader, Sam. I will be sure to pass on your lovely comments to him and the rest of the... Show moreTrip date: October 2025 - MHMarilee· September 8th, 2025This trip takes you deep into Botswana with Chobe, Saudi and Okavango yielding many up close animal sightings. It does include 5 nights of rough camping and most transportation is in a 12 passenger open sided jeep so be prepared to get windswept and dusty. Our guide, Phenyu, was outstanding in that he was exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife and attentive to the needs of his group. The one unresolved issue we had was with Explore and their subcontracted company Wilderness Dawning. We were switched to a different houseboat the day before before we were to arrive there. The new houseboat was promised to be an upgrade but was actually, at best, a 2 star experience with some rooms not having proper bathrooms. The new boat added 2 additional hours to an already 11 hour trip to Victoria Falls in that open sided jeep. Under protest, the company picked up one dinner and provided a hot van for part of the drive and has promised compensation which has yet to materialize.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed the incredible wildlife encounters in Botswana and that your Tour Leader, Phenyu took such great care of your group. We’re truly sorry for the disruption caused by the...

Asked on March 10th, 2024Is he able to qualify for this tour? What time of year if best for game?
- Explore!Operator•Written March 2024
We do not have an upper age limit, but I have highlighted below some things to consider: We drive in safari trucks which are open sided when the canvas sides are rolled up. There are long drives of 5hrs+ up to 9 hrs on Days 2, 3, 5, 9, 10 & 12. Houseboat will have ladder steps so need to be aware and able to manoeuvre. Will need to be able to get in and out of small boats for any of the boat trips on days 2-4. Day 3 includes a 2 hr walk. Rest of the trip will be mostly game drives so as long as you are able to get in and out of these vehicles which have high steps that will be fine. Passengers should also advise the tour leader on arrival of any walking restrictions or need to be near to the toilet block when camping.
