Paul, Botswana specialist
When did you first visit Botswana and what was your first impression?
My first two visits to Botswana were as a child and were to visit friends who lived in Gaborone, which was just a hop across the border from South Africa, where I’m from. My first taste of a Botswana safari was 20 years ago. We visited the busier eastern side of the Chobe, but it left a mark and I couldn’t wait to head back to the more remote areas. Since that trip in 2002 I have done three further trips to the country and have visited most of the camps in the Okavango, Linyanti and Savuti.
