The planning of the trip was excellent. A good mix between traveltime and things to see. The support and contact was efficient and fast.

Strengths

The app for the trip is very well designed and easy to use.

Improvements or suggestions

There was no visible option to use ithe app offline - this would help a lot.

Excellent from the day I booked to completion of our holiday

Strengths

Great communication, clear messages and precise booking arrangements
Excellent app that made accessing all info easy, and documents too.

Improvements or suggestions

The app was slightly buggy and sometimes wouldn’t load. But after a few tries it would then work again. I’m sure this will improve with use. Really loved the app. And the pre trip what’s app video...

A positive experience dealing with the company to plan our trip. The trip was fantastic!

Strengths

Good routes with a network of camping sites. Good vehicle selection and well equipped. Personal facetime meeting was a really good feature and helped a lot with final pre trip preparations.

Improvements or suggestions

Clearer explanation of how the dual fuel tank worked and affected the fuel guage (guage will show full until one tank is empty) would have saved a bit of angst. Clearer explanation of boarder... Clearer explanation of how the dual fuel tank worked and affected the fuel guage (guage will show full until one tank is empty) would have saved a bit of angst. Clearer explanation of boarder charges to pay would be good. We thought it was all taken care of but had to pay for each border crossing. Do not rely on card payments and have some cash. Card machines were at reserve gates but were not working when we went. We could not pay until after spending 6 days in Morremi/Chobe.

Very hard to beat trip! What a great experience! We recommend this company 100%, you won’t regret. It’s been the trip of our lives.

We booked a trip for the four of us (two adults plus two kids, 13 and 16) through Namibia, Botswana and the Victoria Falls, starting and ending in Windhoek. It was adapted a bit to our time schedule, we had 22 days in total. Our main contact was Marco, who was very professional, always responding quickly to our questions and doubts. Two weeks before departure we had a long virtual meeting with him which was very helpful. We did lots of km (5.200 in total), but the driving was always fun, with the changing landscape and types of road, from tar to gravel, sand and deep, deep sand. The combination of camps and B&Bs was excellent, we specially enjoyed the Gecko Camp (get the Moonlight site) and the Tree House at NGepi, with many hippos in front of us for the whole stay. Reaching Kubu Island was quite an adventure, what a special place! And we enjoyed a lot Moremi, where we saw lions, eight in total, the last morning in the park, in Khwai. We also booked a trip to Sandwich Harbour through another company (Amazing 5 Tours) which was a great and fun experience, very recommended. Bushlore, the vehicle company, was great too. Their staff dedicated to us a long hour to explain us all the details about the car (other companies only devote 10 min to this). We had an issue with the fridge at the middle of the trip, but it was quickly solved in Kasane, at the Bushlore office there. We had also only one flat tire, very easy to change. The Toyota Hilux that we rented (with two roof tents) was great in all terrain.

Improvements or suggestions

All was excellent, I will only list a few suggestions: We found very useful to combine the GPS provided by Bushlore with other mapping resources: We installed the Tracks4Africa app in our mobile... All was excellent, I will only list a few suggestions: We found very useful to combine the GPS provided by Bushlore with other mapping resources: We installed the Tracks4Africa app in our mobile phone, and bought the detailed map of Africa. That was very useful, particularly in Moremi, all little roads appear there! We found also several tracks at Wikiloc which were very useful, particularly to reach and leave Kubu Island, where roads are not always obvious. Google Maps was also useful, for example in Etosha, to detect all the waterholes. We got SIM cards in Namibia (MTC) and Botswana (Mascom), which we found useful, particularly in Namibia where we found a better network. We also found the roads better in Namibia than Botswana (lots of potholes!).

All went very well. We had a wonderful trip with a lot of animals sightings. We would do it again.

Strengths

Friendly communications (thanks Marco). Strong expertise. Great itinerary. Everything was better than expected, seriously. The locations and the car were perfect.

Improvements or suggestions

That is minor, but distances are long and we felt rushed at times when spending only one night in each destination (which was almost always the case). A warning about that early in the booking...
