Sensational Africa have done us proud. They recommended and then organised everything from our flights to baggage storage at Maun; an amazing safari experience deep in the Kalahari in Botswana at a Ker and Downey camp (Dinaka). Whilst there it rained and we witnessed the desert flora and fauna coming to life. From flowers that appear for just a few days a year, to migrating birds on a stopover, bullfrogs feasting on nuptial termites, and frolicking baby wildebeest and impala. Our trip was a delight, made even more special by the exceptional hospitality, comfort and safari guiding provided by Dinaka Camp. We thank Sensational Africa for their outstanding organisation taking into account our personal preferences and wishes. Margie and Alan.

Thank you Rowan and team for organising our incredible trip to Africa. It was even more amazing than we’d hoped. The people, places and scenery really do have to be seen to be believed. Your knowledge of the local areas in Zimbabwe and Botswana helped to create a unique and tailored family experience!! And yes…that lion was about 2m away from our vehicle!!! 😬

After Covid restrictions we were finally able to indulge in an African Safari in Botswana’s Okavango Delta and Kalahari. Highly anticipated, it did not disappoint. 5 different lodges with superb accommodation, friendliest staff and the African bush wildlife at its best. Every day was filled with adventure. Based on Rowan’s personal experience, he planned a trip that was just right for us. We loved it and highly recommend Sensational Africa for any African adventure you are considering. Every step of the way had been arranged and we were in very capable hands at all times. Relax, take it all in and enjoy every minute!
