We were one of the first groups to travel with The Wild Insight Safari Company on their self drive safari through Botswana. Whilst not our first safari trip to Africa it was our first time travelling in green season.

Initially we were concerned that the long grass and abundance of water would make viewing too difficult, however this never proved the case – lions, multiple wild dog packs, civet, serval, hyenas plus all the herbivores made for excellent viewing and the birdlife was plentiful too. Our guides (Steve and Graham) were first class, their passion infectious, they were very generous in sharing their knowledge of the bush surrounds, involving us in tracking, reading animal behaviour and game spotting techniques. Graham mentors and teaches younger guides through their respective accreditation, his teachings were a real benefit on the trip, I learnt so much more than all my previous safaris combined and never expected to be quite so interested.

I am not one for leaving recommendations but I do rate this as the best safari I have been on and would highly recommend their expertise and itinerary. Camping out in roof tents and being out in the wild listening to the sounds of the night around the fire is really quite special too and there were some excellent stories of animal encounters in the mix too. I will definitely use this team on any future safaris. JJ, Yorkshire, Magical Moremi & Khwai – Botswana 2018
