    Tawanda the trainee tour leader lacked the knowledge, time management and maturity to professionally conduct this tour. Unfortunately we also did the Namibian tour with him.

    Not the least expensive tour but certainly the best value. You get what you pay for and this trip was well worth the higher cost in terms of the quality of the hotels and the comfort of the van

    Because Innocent the leader and Goodman the driver were excellent but Intrepid administration could be better. Changes to the itinerary that Intrepid's decision, not the leader's or driver's, were not notified by email to me (my travel agent was also on holiday). Entry Fee to Victoria Falls should have been included, as should the dinner at Maun. Innocent only found out because he rang the office. As we were trying to budget and manage our money, this was awkward for Innocent because we were frustrated. You have the email addresses of participants, they should all be ccd emails sent to travel agents.

    The accommodation in Botswana is less than comfort, the 1 night with Kalahari Bushmen and 2 nights on house-boat are extremely hot, no air-con, no wifi. Dinner at Maun lodge and Vic fall entry ticket are said to be included but not.
