We stayed in the Camp Okuti and made fantastic self driven gamedrives, an exprerience for a lifetime.I was very exited but i think wenn you are in bush you should also be a little afraid !!

We’ve been to vumbura plains last year Oktober and loved it as well. However our absolute favorite within wilderness was definitely the Mombo Camp. The camp itself was absolutely amazing and the nature around it as well. And if you go to Mombo camp, definitely ask for the ranger named Doc. He was amazing. Furthermore we also loved kings pool

[@rosepelzel4244]

Wow!!! Just stunning!! Words fail me, dear LTE!! Utterly and happily overwhelming ... you are on a whole different level, my friend! Loved absolutely 💯 every moment of this brilliant video!! What a gift!!!! Thank you sooooo much!! Bucket list for sure! 😊 I am, also, soooo happy and proud of your very richly deserved award!! Highest congratulations!! It's high time! All the best to you and yours, my friend! V opens door. Elephant says, ' oh, hello! Might you have a peanut?' V shakes his head 'no!' Elephant ... ' perhaps a cabbage?' V says, ' sorry, but we don't have one at the moment!'. Elephant looks disappointed and says, " Well, I'll just have a couple of leaves from this old tree, then, and be on my way ... Enjoy your stay!' V looks at you and says, ' What just happened??!' 😅 Very much looking forward to next week, dear LTE, but I didn't think this could be topped!! 😃

Thank you doc . We have been thinking about going to okavango delta but didnt know which lodges to book. But this is great . We are from bay area cali and this is very helpful for us as we dont that much about okavango delta . We will be going there for 7 days . Do you have recommendation for another lodge ?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I highly recommend to combine a few lodges while traveling in Botswana (and stay 2 to 3 nights at each lodge). A great itinerary (same itinerary as mine) would be: Wilderness Jao, Wilderness Vumbura Plains and Wilderness DumaTau. Contact me by email if you need more information 😉

We were planning to go to Namibia after watching your Namibia videos. But now, we are in two minds after watching your Botswana videos. Namibia or Botswana?? Hard to choose for our next big trip. Do you have a favourite? Thank you . Amazing videos.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Or you can combine both countries into one trip (it's very easy getting from Namibia to Botswana). Wilderness has lodges in both countries and can assist with the logistics. Namibia is more about (desert) landscapes while Botswana is more about wildlife.

[@nathalier2608]

@@luxurytravelexpert Yes we could. I think we are going to do our 2 weeks in Namibia with Wilderness, desert and Etosha. Then we will do Botswana, I think. 😀 Could you please let me know which month you went to Botswana? Thank you.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The best period to travel in Namibia and Botswana is the Southern African winter (June to September) when the weather is dry and sunny. If you are going to travel to Botswana after Namibia, you may as well skip Etosha National Park (since wildlife spotting in Botswana is superior to Namibia). You can always contact me by email for more information or advice.
