Wildlife tour operators Botswana / Combination w/Tanzania, Rwanda; other lone travelers?

Advertisement
Hi Co-travellers, Would you have any recommendations on great wildlife tour operators in Botswana, specifically any comments on Africa Adventure Company, African Safari, Africa Travel and smaller, local operators such as Jenman? Anybody up for a trip in June, with focus on wildlife, rather tented tours, ideally combined with some hiking or other activities? Is there any reasonable way of combining the trip to Botswana with a trip to Tanzania and Rwanda (gorilla watching)? Thanks so much!

I've just returned from Botswana having been on a trip with Bundu Safaris. Although not specifically a wildlife tour, there were only 3 of us and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable in the wildlife. I've returned having been enlightened as to the varied bird life, something I'd not considered before.

I'm intending to take another trip with Bundu in July but this time around Namibia.

If you have enough days yes you could combine Botswana safaris with Tanzania safari or Rwanda Gorilla tracking.
The challenge is the flight connections.Kenya Airways has flights From Gaborone Via J'burg to Nairobi.From Nairobi you can use road to Tanzania or air Rwanda.You could find more about this connections with Mihon Destination Management Services- Nairobi. They can help you plan your days and schedules. Reply to this

Botswana Safaris with Jenman African Safaris allows you to explore Botswana on a magical Safari adventure, enjoy Botswana Wildlife Breakaway Safaris on one of our quality African Safaris. Visit Botswana, Namibia and Zambia on this Safari.

If you end up going to Tanzania look up www.africanscenicsafaris.com. They are a small locally run business (based out of Moshi & Arusha) but offer great service at a discount price. You can get a 4 day safari, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater for around USD$500pp. Reply to this
