5.0/5Very very good value for money. Wonderful experience. Hilmar on top.
Very very good value for money. We stay at Shearwater village, then Victoria falls, Chobe NP in camping, Hwange NP at Miombi camp. Everything was very well organized, pickups on time, transfer to Botswana, accommodation very nice (not super luxurious) but even better than expected. Camping in the middle of Chobe great experience. Miomba suite was so cosy. Staff very nice. Hilmar was flexible on my requests and reactive. No hidden costs. I recommend strongly and i will rely again on them if I come back.
