Botswana Family Safaris

We loved working with Zicasso’s travel company. We were impressed by their firsthand experience. They did a wonderful job on our entire trip. Beautiful hotels, great camps, awesome guides - everything was so well planned, seamless from start to finish! We had a fantastic time and highly recommend them!!

In Botswana, we stayed at a camp in the Okavango Delta - a beautiful camp - everything first-rate - wonderful staff - just loved it!! Our second camp was in Linyanti. We liked that both the camps were just a few rooms. This camp was also very nice! The animal experiences were terrific at both camps. Nice service, great food and lots of it, as you get a lot of snacks throughout the day!

We had gorgeous hotels in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town. Most of the tours were small-group for the four of us, which made it even better to not be in a big group.

In Cape Town, we enjoyed the peninsula, city area, and the wine country. We also enjoyed the Hermanus region.

We just returned from a fantastic two-week trip to Africa, coordinated by our Zicasso travel agent. We started in South Africa (Cape Town/Franschhoek), then went up to Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls), and to Botswana (Chobe National Park and Okavango Delta). Every step of the trip was well coordinated and seamless. The guides and accommodations were fantastic and comfortable.

I can't say enough positive things about our travel agent. She is the most detail-oriented and responsive travel agent I have ever worked with. She has extensive knowledge of travel in Africa and was able to provide outstanding recommendations for every question we had for her. She checked in with us regularly during the trip to make sure everything was going well, which was greatly appreciated. She genuinely cared about providing us with the best experience possible. I highly recommend using her and her agency if you are thinking about traveling to Africa!

Amazing trip. As first-timers to Africa, planning can be overwhelming. Zicasso’s travel specialist listened, helped us navigate our choices, and delivered a perfect itinerary. From Cape Town to Victoria Falls in Zambia and then Botswana, everything was well planned.

There were many transfers without any issues. I would highly recommend the travel company.

Zicasso referred me to a wonderful travel agent for our trip to South Africa, Victoria Falls, and the Okavango Delta. The trip was perfect. Our travel company and agent were very good at listening to our ideas for the trip and budget. The trip went without a wrinkle. This is my second time using Zicasso, and both experiences were great.

We’re still not over our trip! Everything was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for organizing such a great experience and making it so effortless for me. I already have family and friends asking who I went through, and I’m guessing some of them will be reaching out to you in the next year.

I do have one small piece of constructive feedback about our camp in the Olifants West Nature Reserve. The staff, lodge, and food were wonderful, but unfortunately, the safari guide fell short. We had just come from the camp in the Thornybush Game Reserve (where we left our hearts—the guide there was truly exceptional, with such a great personality), so the difference stood out even more. At the Olifants West Nature Reserve camp, we saw very few animals and the guide didn’t engage much—he barely spoke, and when he did, it wasn’t very professional or kind, especially toward my son. My son even said the trip might have worked better in reverse, since after Botswana it was hard to adjust to seeing only a few animals a day.

That said, I’m so grateful for how smoothly you planned everything, especially on such short notice. It really was a trip of a lifetime for us.

Thank you again!
