Here is their feedback
Hi Anne-Marie,
Firstly, thanks for organising our truly memorable week in Botswana which went without a hitch.
The flights etc were lovely, and we enjoyed flying in the small planes from camp to camp rather that taking the large commercial plane to Maun.
Of course Okavango was the highlight, and Sango proved to be an exceptional choice of camp with very enthusiastic guides who went out of their way to show us everything. The small camp meant we met several lovely couples of varying ages from all over Europe. We cooled off in the little pool in the afternoons, watching elephant and letchwes very close by. The staff were excellent . We particularly enjoyed the afternoon on the mokoro.
Margaret and I have been to Africa many times over the past 40 odd years and have stayed at more expensive camps, like the Sausage tree, Tongabezi and Sindebezi in Zambia, and we thought that Sango compared really well , at less than half the price. The lack of a fan in the room did make for very hot afternoons.
Chobe Elephant camp also had excellent guides and staff, and the accommodation was better in that the rooms were much cooler with fans. We enjoyed the 2 afternoons, on the river, fishing and watching the elephants from the boat. The camp is twice the size and lacks a little atmosphere. Our hut was well furnished but was over 300 metres up an incline, which was quite a trek several times a day in the heat.
After 4 weeks in Southern Africa we had seen absolutely every animal with the exception of wild dogs.
On the drive to the airport, about 100 metres from the park gates ,we saw a pack of wild dogs playing beside the road ony 10 metres away.
The perfect end to a great week.
Thanks again,
Eric and Margaret
