点评:Having never been on safari before and liking my creature comforts more in my old age, I was rather anxious spending 9 nights ‘budget camping’. However, once settled into the routine of living in the bush, I realised it was the only way to experience living amongst the wonderful wildlife that Botswana has to offer.
We were lucky to have Boghassi, the company owner, as our guide for the entire trip and with three other members of his team, he looked after us extremely well and we felt completely safe throughout.
We were out in the safari cruiser every day for several hours searching for wildlife which we found in abundance. Having an experienced and local guide like Boghassi meant that we were able to locate so many animals including the dens of hyenas and the rare African wild dogs. In fact we were privileged to see a litter of 2 week old wild dog pups. A rare and amazing sight.
The camps were well set up. Each tent had a their own enclosed shower facility and toilet and camp fires were lit for the chilly mornings and evenings. We were extremely well fed, amazing considering there was only an open fire on which to cook. We also gained a good insight into the way of life in Botswana from our camp team and even had the chance to visit a primary school on one of our trips out.
The one thing that would have been useful to have before the holiday is a ‘packing list’ to help decide what to take.
I can only thank Moonlight Safaris for a wonderful trip that will stay in my memory for ever.

我们很幸运有公司老板 Boghassi 担任我们整个旅程的向导,他和他的团队的其他三名成员非常细心地照顾我们,我们整个旅程都感到非常安全。
我们每天都乘坐游猎巡洋舰出去几个小时寻找野生动物,结果发现了很多。有像 Boghassi 这样经验丰富的当地向导,我们能够找到很多动物,包括鬣狗窝和稀有的非洲野狗。事实上,我们有幸看到了一窝 2 周大的野狗幼崽。真是罕见而神奇的景象。
营地布置得很好。每个帐篷都有自己的封闭式淋浴设施和厕所,在寒冷的早晨和夜晚,营地会点起篝火。我们吃得非常饱,考虑到只有一个明火可以做饭,这真是太棒了。我们还从营地团队那里深入了解了博茨瓦纳的生活方式,甚至有机会在一次旅行中参观了一所小学。
假期前唯一有用的东西是一份“打包清单”,以帮助决定要带什么。
我只能感谢 Moonlight Safaris 让我度过了一次美妙的旅行,这将永远留在我的记忆中。
