We just returned from a 10 day trip to Vumbura Plains in the Okavango Delta and King's Pool Camp in the Linyanti River area of Botswana organized by Darren. This was our 4th trip to Africa and we were accompanied by another couple on their first true safari to Africa. Everything- from the food, to the rooms, to the guides, the the wildlife was ABOVE FIRST RATE at both camps. We were travelling in the "low/green/rainy" season to take advantage of a great deal offered by WIlderness Safari's that Darren brought to our attention. We spent multiple drives watching 5 different leopards, saw a lion kill a buffalo from start to finish, and raced through the bush on 4 wild dog hunts (3 of which were successful). So much for the "low" season !!!-and these are just the highlights of what was truly exceptional game viewing. We were truly pampered in possibly some of the nicest safari rooms available in all of Africa, not just Botswana. I wholeheartedly implore anyone considering a safari to consider Botswana for its unique beauty, excellent game viewing, wonderful people, and these two camps in particular for all that they had to offer.
