Walking safari is a different thing from a game drive — you approach downwind, on foot, with an armed guide, and you see far less and understand far more.

“African safari with park fees included and full-day drives”
Conservancy and park fees are in the headline price. Full-day drives with a packed lunch rather than two short ones broken by a hotel buffet.
Sightings were thin on our dates, which is luck, but the drives felt rushed. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
Excellent sightings and the guides clearly knew the area. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Okavango & Chobe was quieter than I expected and the camp was comfortable. No hesitation recommending them.
Deliberate policy. Botswana runs low-volume, high-value tourism with capped bed numbers and high park and concession fees, specifically to limit visitor numbers. The fees are most of the price and no operator can reduce them.
