The latest word on the street about Sundowner’s Botswana holidays:

Your agents in Botswana were outstanding. The elephants at Chobe were a particular favourite – could have watched them for hours. This trip was everything we expected – and much more!

Mark Cooke Botswana

The experience was fantastic. The African culture, the wildlife and all the personal touches from the lodge hosts. A measure of a good holiday is one you want to repeat; we would both do this trip again tomorrow – brilliant.

Rosalie Hughes Botswana

We loved every minute of our safari – each place and lodge visited was very different, with its own unique experiences. All in all it was a wonderful adventure with the most beautiful of scenery and people. Our driver was very informative and determined to find us every wild animal under the sun! No rhino but we did see a spitting cobra and a massive python!

Jess Adkins Botswana

Thank you for putting together such a wonderful holiday for us at such short notice. Everything went smoothly. Fantastic game viewing on safari and very relaxing on Mauritius. We will not hesitate to recommend your excellent services to friends and family.

The McGimley Family Botswana & Mauritius

Memorable trip to fantastic locations. Don’t think I have ever seen sunsets as spectacular as the ones in Botswana.

Carol Tucker Botswana

Thanks for your advice and recommendations which were really tailored to what we wanted. It was an amazing 3 weeks – gutted to be home. By the way, we saw wild dogs at Kwara!

Liam James Botswana

We loved the safari in Botswana. The lodges and the quality of guides was truly outstanding. It was a phenomenal experience that give us memories to last a lifetime.

Harry Webb Botswana

The honeymoon of a lifetime! Great service from James. We loved the safari in the Okavango Delta – great guides/trackers, good service and saw some great animals. A fabulous location.
