exceptional.Joy Davies review 15 May 2018
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The opportunity to be in such close proximity to a large range of wild animals in their natural habitat.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
It's not always easy to access a bank so when you get the chance, get plenty of the local currency. ATMs are not always reliable. We were advised never to put a card into an ATM in Zimbabwe = high risk of being swallowed up. Better to take plenty of dollars or other accepted currency. Avoid salads, drinks with ice, tap water - even for rinsing your toothbrush.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Impossible to reduce environmental impact by travelling there. But it can be minimized by leaving nothing behind and using local produce where possible. Also employing local people - in evidence everywhere. Conservation support: save our sausage trees campaign.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very well organized. Excellent guides throughout. Accommodation fine apart from Rivernest which could do with upgrading or replacing. The itinerary was outstanding - provided a comprehensive range of experiences of Botswana and Victoria Falls.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
