Okavango Delta Explorations Anmeldelser 

First of all the Okavango Delta team made it personal by calling me, rather than playing email ping pong. Anna listened to our interests, offered valid alternatives when the first option was not available and had real life experience of the area to recommend how long to spend in each place. Finally when our international flights out were cancelled at 10.30pm in the evening, everything in Africa was rearranged by 8.30am the next morning.
Superb service, by extremely knowledgeable staff, leading to one of the best trips we have had in a long time.

Even with the most complicated itinerary, we always felt confident that the transitions would be handled seamlessly: one time a major flight time change was communicated to all affected with minimum disturbance to the traveler. Highlights: Genocide Memorial, Gorillas (It takes 4 years for them to accept humans at close range)... but you have to have a reasonable level of agility and overall fitness to get to them, Namiri Plains Cheetahs, Ngorogongo Crater...interesting that you can get much closer to the more skittish animals than out in the Serengeti!

Louise used her personal experience and knowledge to help us plan a holiday that gave exactly what we wanted. The camps at Shinde and Kanana were great. The staff were very welcoming, well trained and highly competent, and could not have done more to make our stay enjoyable and rewarding.
We have spent many years in Africa, and visited many game reserves; this trip was fabulous, and quite different from others.
We would recommend Louise & her team.

Our Okavango experience was extraordinary. We stayed in Little Sable and had the camp nearly to ourselves. The luxurious tents had everything one needs and I especially loved the outside shower.
Our guide was exceptional and incredibly knowledgeable. All in all the whole experience was just outstanding. I can recommend Okavango Delta Expeditions without reservation.

Great sightings. Knowledgeable guide.
Awesome good. Fantastic organisation.

The best holiday ever! The best destination and the best souvenirs!

This was an exceptional trip from start to finish. Expectations were far exceeded. Prior to finding Okavango Delta Explorations, I was struggling to find a suitable trip. The ability to connect with the team (Anna), provide a brief outline of what we would like to do and see, then have this trip put together into an easily understandable format was great. Apart from the excellent locations that matched out timeframes and budget, it was the small things like being met but tour representatives at each step, having a pre-made lunch for an early flight, and continuity between various different travel providers took all of the pressure off travel and enhanced our experience.

The three locations were all special and quite different. We loved all three and couldn't find a favourite between them - a sign of a great holiday. Additionally, we made some last-minute changes which were all accommodated and made our trip amazing.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Okavango Delta Explorations and will DEFINITELY be re-booking future trips with this team.

Botswana safari. Excellent! Okavango Delta took the time to understand us, our past experiences, what we wanted in a Botswana experience, and the price options. Trip was outstanding! Can hardly wait to return (or possibly explore another African country)!

Okavango Delta Explorations organised the most amazing safari for us for our honeymoon. From our initial conversation they came up with a bespoke itinerary for us which was absolutely perfect and covered everything we had asked for. They replied very quickly to emails and phone calls and were overall extremely helpful.
Our full itinerary and travel information was available in their app which was easy to use and very comprehensive.
We stayed at Kwando Safari lodges which were a perfect recommendation - beautiful settings, friendly staff and incredible game drives. Everything was so well organised that we literally did not have to think about anything on the trip and could just enjoy the amazing African experience. We cannot recommend Okavango Delta Explorations highly enough.

We had a really fantastic time in Botswana, I forgot all the time to contact you.
It ist perhaps important for you to know, that you habe to pay in pula at the different gates and the prices where between 150 and 1500 pula. You are not allowed to pay with credit card or dollars.
If I have more time I contact you to tell more about our experience.

Trip went very smoothly and communications went well. No problems and all the people were helpful and friendly and would not hesitate using them again.

Simply wonderful experience, well organised from start to finish and one of the most memorable time of my life. A fantastic organisation to travel with. If you want to go on a safari, go with Okavango Delta Explorations, you will have the time of your life!

We had an absolutely amazing honeymoon in Namibia thanks to Louise and her team at Okavango Delta Explorations. From the start Louise was hands on with us, helping us to understand the region and the top things to see. She was honest about how we might best use our time, given that we only had 10 days. We discussed our requirements and budget early on, and Louise came back in a few days with a fully bespoke tour of the country for us, with special focus on seeing the breadth Namibia had to offer during our available window to visit in October.

We gave Louise the almost impossible task of maximising the luxury we could enjoy alongside keeping the overall budget in check. Louise took the time to understand what we were looking for before presenting us with the best options. The booking process was seamless for us, with ODE making all the arrangements as necessary, including our complex travel plan within Namibia.

We had a truly luxurious experience with ODE - we did not have to do any work ourselves and were ferried on time between the lodges and local airstrips. Every lodge we stayed at was luxurious and breathtaking in equal measure. We saw all the animals in the big five, and many many more. The guides we had were accommodating, friendly and highly knowledgeable. Our experience and comfort were always prioritised.

Louise also booked us to stay in the private park in Ongava, next to Etosha, rather than in Etosha. Initially we were concerned that we would not have as much opportunity to see game in Ongava, but this is where ODE's expertise really came into play. Ongava had far better game viewing opportunities (including truly incredible foot approaches to rhino and elephants with expert guides, which is impossible in Etosha). Ongava was also far less congested (very few camps) and the accommodation was simply incredible - which is not available to anywhere near the same standard inside Etosha. We still visited Etosha with our Ongava guide for half a day, but it was underwhelming in comparison to Ongava.

We couldn't have asked for better service and representation and are truly grateful to Louise and ODE for organising a perfect honeymoon that we will remember forever. Additional thanks to Louise for following up once we had returned from Namibia to ensure we were satisfied with our service throughout the trip.

I couldn't recommend ODE more. If you are looking for a bespoke and life-changing safari organised by client-focused and caring experts, choose ODE.

We could not have had more help and support when arranging this safari than from Okavango Delta Explorations. Despite COVID problems we had THE MOST WONDERFUL AND EXCITING time with excellent food, comfortable camps, super friendly staff and brilliant guides. MANY THANKS.

We had an outstanding safari at PomPom camp into the Okavango, organized by Anna and Louise of Okavango Delta Explorations.
They assisted us for about 2 years having booked this experience before pandemic.
Together with Botswana they organized also the transfer to Zambia and the visit of Victoria Falls.
Always present with us, always helpful.
Best tour operator ever!!

Thanks

Perfect from start to finish
Would book anytime with Louise again

Okavango Delta Expeditions provided the experience of a lifetime for us. Louise was perfect. She listened to our needs and created exactly what we wanted, and more. Everything was seamless from beginning to end. We saw and experienced everything that one could hope to see on a safari. The guides were all phenomenal and incredibly knowledgeable. The accommodations were outstanding. We recommend Okavango Delta Expeditions without reservation. If you want an amazing African experience, this is the way to do it.

Louise was fantastic meeting our requests in lightening speed as we only had a couple of days to put the trip together. The camps were fantastic what an experience we had!

one of the best travel service I have experienced till now. they take utmost care of the smallest need of their client. very well chosen lodges suitable to our family need. the entire trip was well carved looking into personal preferences of each family members. have no words to explain their service.they managed to arrange for special request of wheel chair at each location and also manages to inform all places for special food preferences.very well informed portal for our trip helped each one of us to set right exceptions from each place we were going to visit.

Louise was fantastic at organising our Honeymoon, she listened to our preferences and found accommodation that aligned perfectly. She was quick to respond always and very helpful in providing advice. The whole trip was incredibly smooth and she had thought of every eventuality. I would 100% return back to Okavango Delta Explorations
