Trip Of A Lifetime, Could not have been more perfect!!
African Bush Lovers Travel & Tours Safaris的点评
点评：An African safari has been my dream since I was a little girl and we, my husband and I, finally decided to go for it. Due to the vast amount and variety of animals, we settled on Botswana. I went on a few Facebook groups to get recommendations on companies and right away, ABL was suggested and I had a gut feeling they were the way to go. I did my due diligence to ensure they were a reputable, licensed/registered company. Their website was filled with great information about their services and the company's founders. More on them later.
I contacted the team, communicated what we were looking for, and got a prompt and professional response, with a suggested itinerary and cost. The itinerary sounded perfect and the price was in our budget....esp. because I was able to break it down into a few payments. I should also mention that this trip was a year and a half in the making!
Communication was always responsive between the time we booked and when we arrived. I had many questions/concerns but the team was always prompt at answering any e-mail or messages. I appreciated that they were just as excited for us to get there as we were to go!
We flew out of Toronto and after 3 flights, we landed in Maun on June 18, where we had a room booked at Maun Lodge for a night ( not part of the package ). 2 members of the team, Joel and IT, picked us up and dropped us off at the lodge, where our stay was a very pleasant one. The following morning, we were picked up and were ready to begin our adventure with African Bush Lovers.
Our first stop was Hide Inn Campsite for the first 2 nights. Upon arrival, we met the Maun team, IT, Joel, Lee, Ronnie, and Reginah.... all warmly welcoming. We then settled into a really beautiful and comfortable luxury tent. Hide Inn has a bar where we were able to purchase drinks and enjoy the surroundings. Of all the animals I wanted to see, a Lesser Bush Baby was top of my list and IT spotted one the first night and I was able to snap a picture!! My excitement was overwhelming and the team was excited for me, too! Our trip was off to a great start!! I also very much enjoyed all the birds around camp as I am a bit of a bird nerd.
The food!!! OMG Reginah is a phenomenal chef, with great skill. There was not a single thing she made during the whole trip that we did not enjoy. And the fact that much was made on a campfire, is even more impressive. She even had me eating mushrooms, lol. Her soups were my favorite but everything made was great. The food was plentiful and presented with love. I cannot say enough good things about Reginah and her food!
Day 2 was our Mokoro excursion with IT where we sailed in the Okavango Delta with a local expert. This included a nature walk where we learned about tracking and animal drippings as well as the flora. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at the end of our hike. We got to see hippos, elephants, giraffes and many types of bird. It was a beautiful day and on our way back to camp, I was able to buy a few items from the local village. We made it back to camp for dinner and some relaxation ahead of moving to a different camp in the morning.
Days 3-8 offered us the real bush experience! We had 2 days in Moremi, 2 in Khwai and 2 in Suvute/Chobe. Our team consisted of Joel ( Joel of Africa ), Ronnie ( I would say lead hand/backbone of camp ), Reginah ( our amazing chef ) and Lee ( future guide and also a camp hand ).
The camp was set up at each location with such efficiency and speed. We booked semi-luxury as we saved a few dollars and me and hubby were still pretty close, even if not in the same bed. Speaking of beds, the cots, mattresses, and bedding were extremely comfortable. In the back of the tent, a "bathroom" was set up and enclosed, providing a bush shower and toilet. I wasn't sure how the shower would work so I used shower wipes at first but then switched to using the shower. If you've never used a bush shower, let me tell you.....wash your important bits and hair, and don't worry about the rest. I managed to get a shower done in under a minute, lol. The bush toilet was also new to me. While we had a "seat", everything went down in a dug hole and flushing is by using sand to cover. After using it once, it's no big deal. In our tents, we were provided with ample lighting, bug spray, chairs just outside of the tent as well as a washing station which came in handy for washing our face, brushing our teeth and when needed, washing a few items of clothing.
Each morning and when we returned to camp for the evening, we had a campfire which we thought was a really nice touch, esp in the evenings where me, my husband and Joel could enjoy a drink and get to know each other and/or talk about our adventure that day! During the night, it was pretty neat to hear lions roar or elephants communicating! DO NOT LEAVE TENT AT NIGHT!!
We went on 2 drives per day and there was a new sighting on every drive. We saw....elephants, lions, a leopard, cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, zebras, impalas, waterbucks, painted dogs, monkeys, baboons, cape buffalo, bushbuck, steenbok, blue buffalo, warthogs, tree squirrels, spotted hyena, jackal, mongoose, plenty of baby animals and so many species of birds. As well as the listed sightings, we also saw and learned about the different landscapes, and hills of Suvute, saw ancient rock art, and my husband especially enjoyed seeing and learning about the baobab trees. Our morning drives included a stop for a snack and a coffee. To end the evening drive, we enjoyed the most beautiful sunsets while enjoying a cold beer. Joel would pick the most beautiful spots to stop with stunning scenery and often wildlife in sight. These were some of my favorite moments. By day's end, our souls were full and our bodies tired but we were always excited to wake up early the next morning for the next adventure. Everything we needed was provided on our drives....drinks...beer, water, soft drinks and snacks. The whole 6 days in the bush could not have been better. The adventure of a lifetime!!
Again, Reginah and her cooking skills impressed us daily, we could not stop saying thank you. I forgot to mention to ABL ahead of time that our anniversary was on the 23rd but sweet Reginah managed to bake a cake for us in the bush on that day!! Candles included! And the cake was delicious! What a beautiful memory we will cherish always!
Day 9 and 10. We finally got to meet Stanza, when we moved on to Kasane....he's the man we've been mostly communicating with for a year and a half. The welcome from the Kasane team office was so warm and it felt like we were almost reuniting with friends. Along with Stanza the team included Lame, Letso, Katie and Thato. We were given a gift back with hand-painted mugs. Now here is something truly special about African Bush Lovers. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. My mug had, along with my name, the Chobe River on it, and my husbands had a baobab tree on his. Things that each of us loved or were very excited for. Personalized for sure. We also got shirts with our names and a map of the route of our safari as well as hats with the company logo!
Day 9, we had a beautiful cruise on the Chobe river until sunset, where we saw a huge Nile croc, elephants, and hippos.
And finally, on day 10, our final day, team member Letso brought us to Victoria Falls. The falls were absolutely beautiful, more majestic than I imagined and our lunch with Letso was very enjoyable. He's such a wonderful and great guy!
Days 9 and 10, our accommodation was at Travelodge and I have to say, it was a really beautiful hotel with great staff! It was a nice way for hubby and I to spend our last moments just him and I talking about our adventure.
Our farewell was on day 11 where we were brought to the airport but not before going to the Kazungula bridge, where 4 countries meet. Never have I been more sad to end a vacation. It truly was perfect.
Some notes:
Joel ( Joel of Africa ). What a great guy. Smart as heck, had such passion for nature and wildlife, expert tracker and when he knew there was something we wanted to see, he made it happen. My husband is into science, history, and geography and watching him and Joel exchange knowledge was really sweet to watch! His driving skills were excellent on the sometimes rough terrain, only getting stuck once, LOL. All the same can be said about IT. Both these gentlemen made quite a positive impression on us! The team as a whole had the utmost respect for nature, and the knowledge which we appreciated.
Botswana as a country was extremely clean, IMO. DO NOT LITTER, leave only your footprints behind!
We went during the winter season. Morning and evenings were chilly but during the day, it was HOT!! Pack accordingly. Speaking of packing, I have a few tips: Ladies....pack sports bras. The terrain is rough and you want to be secure! I found the dry, dusty air to be irritating to my throat so I recommend bringing a mask for the drives, pain reliever, chapstick, and throat drops. Pack a winter hat and gloves for the morning drive. Bring a small amount of laundry soap to hand wash. Extra moisturizer is a must also....my skin got really dry!
Be prepared....some of the drives from place to place are quite long, however, there is lots to see along the way!
We are smokers and ABL was accommodating to us having smoke breaks. But please, DO NOT litter your butts. We used water bottles with a bit of water for our butts. And we did try to be respectful smokers.
A final note about African Bush Lovers: We cannot say enough good things about this company. We were treated like family and every single person on the team was warm, friendly, professional and above all else, eager to make our trip perfect. We are very laid-back Canadians who like to joke and tease and the team joined in, making it feel more like we were with family! This trip changed us, and brought us closer as a couple. It brought me back to my love of birding and photography, which I had been neglecting.
If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind safari experience that is priced fair, African Bush Lovers Travel & Tours is the way to go. Our trip far exceeded our expectations and was even better than I had dreamed!
Thank you to the whole team for giving us memories we will cherish forever!

翻译：非洲狩猎之旅从小就是我的梦想，我和丈夫最终决定去实现这个梦想。由于动物数量众多、种类繁多，我们选择了博茨瓦纳。我登录了几个 Facebook 群组，征求公司建议，很快，ABL 就被推荐了，我直觉他们就是最佳选择。我做了尽职调查，确保他们是一家信誉良好、获得许可/注册的公司。他们的网站上充满了关于他们的服务和公司创始人的大量信息。稍后会详细介绍。
我联系了团队，告知了我们的需求，并得到了及时而专业的回复，并提供了建议的行程和费用。行程听起来很完美，价格也在我们的预算之内……尤其是因为我能够将其分成几笔付款。我还应该提到，这次旅行筹备了一年半！
从我们预订到我们到达，沟通一直很顺畅。我有很多问题/疑虑，但团队总是及时回复任何电子邮件或消息。我很感激他们为我们到达那里和我们即将出发一样兴奋！
我们从多伦多出发，经过 3 次飞行，于 6 月 18 日抵达马翁，我们在马翁旅馆预订了一个晚上的房间（不是套餐的一部分）。团队的两名成员 Joel 和 IT 接我们并送我们到旅馆，我们在那里住得很愉快。第二天早上，我们被接走，准备开始与非洲丛林爱好者一起的冒险。
我们的第一站是 Hide Inn 露营地，前两晚住在这里。抵达后，我们遇到了马翁团队、IT、Joel、Lee、Ronnie 和 Reginah......所有人都热情欢迎我们。然后我们住进了一个非常漂亮舒适的豪华帐篷。Hide Inn 有一个酒吧，我们可以在那里购买饮料并欣赏周围的环境。在所有我想看的动物中，小灌木幼虫是我的首选，而 IT 在第一天晚上就发现了一只，我拍了张照片！！我兴奋极了，团队也为我感到兴奋！我们的旅行有一个美好的开始！！我也非常喜欢营地周围的所有鸟类，因为我有点鸟类迷。
食物！！！我的天哪，Reginah 是一位了不起的厨师，技艺高超。在整个旅行中，她做的每道菜我们都喜欢。而且，很多菜都是在篝火上做的，这更令人印象深刻。她甚至让我吃蘑菇，哈哈。她做的汤是我的最爱，但做的所有菜都很棒。食物很丰盛，摆盘时充满爱意。我对 Reginah 和她的食物赞不绝口！
第二天，我们和 IT 一起进行了 Mokoro 之旅，在当地专家的陪同下航行于奥卡万戈三角洲。其中包括一次自然漫步，我们了解了追踪和动物滴水以及植物群。徒步结束后，我们享用了美味的午餐。我们看到了河马、大象、长颈鹿和许多种类的鸟类。天气很好，在回营地的路上，我从当地村庄买了一些东西。我们回到营地吃晚饭，放松一下，第二天早上再去另一个营地。
第 3-8 天让我们体验了真正的丛林生活！我们在莫雷米待了 2 天，在 Khwai 待了 2 天，在 Suvute/Chobe 待了 2 天。我们的团队包括 Joel（非洲的 Joel）、Ronnie（我想说他是营地的领头人/骨干）、Reginah（我们出色的厨师）和 Lee（未来的向导，也是营地助手）。
每个地点的营地都搭建得非常高效和快速。我们预订了半豪华房，这样可以省下几美元，我和老公虽然不睡在同一张床上，但仍然很亲密。说到床，小床、床垫和床上用品都非常舒适。帐篷后面设置了一个封闭的“浴室”，提供丛林淋浴和厕所。我不确定淋浴怎么用，所以一开始我用的是沐浴湿巾，但后来改用淋浴。如果你从未使用过丛林淋浴，让我告诉你......洗你的重要部位和头发，不用担心其他的。我设法在一分钟内洗完澡，哈哈。丛林厕所对我来说也是新的。虽然我们有“座位”，但所有东西都放在挖好的坑里，冲水是用沙子盖住的。用过一次之后，就没什么大不了的了。在我们的帐篷里，我们得到了充足的照明、杀虫剂、帐篷外面的椅子，以及一个洗漱台，可以方便地洗脸、刷牙，必要时还可以洗几件衣服。
每天早上和晚上回到营地时，我们都会点起篝火，我们认为这真的是一件很棒的事情，尤其是在晚上，我、我的丈夫和乔尔可以喝一杯，互相了解和/或谈论我们当天的冒险经历！晚上，听到狮子吼叫或大象交流真是太棒了！晚上不要离开帐篷！！
我们每天开车 2 次，每次都有新的发现。我们看到了……大象、狮子、豹子、猎豹、河马，长颈鹿、斑马、黑斑羚、水羚、非洲野狗、猴子、狒狒、非洲水牛、羚羊、小羚羊、蓝水牛、疣猪、树松鼠、斑鬣狗、豺、猫鼬、许多小动物和许多鸟类。除了列出的景点外，我们还看到并了解了不同的景观和苏维特山丘，看到了古老的岩画，我的丈夫特别喜欢看和了解猴面包树。我们早上开车时停下来吃点零食和喝咖啡。在晚上开车结束时，我们一边喝着冰啤酒，一边欣赏着最美丽的日落。乔尔会选择最美丽的地方停下来，那里风景优美，而且经常能看到野生动物。这些都是我最喜欢的时刻。一天结束时，我们的灵魂充实，身体疲惫，但我们总是很兴奋第二天早上早起，准备下一次冒险。开车时，我们所需的一切都得到了满足……饮料……啤酒、水、软饮料和零食。在丛林中度过的整整 6 天真是太棒了。一生难忘的冒险！！
Reginah 和她的烹饪技巧每天都给我们留下深刻印象，我们不停地说着谢谢。我忘了提前告诉 ABL 我们的结婚纪念日是 23 号，但可爱的 Reginah 那天在丛林中为我们烤了一个蛋糕！！还点了蜡烛！蛋糕很美味！多么美好的回忆，我们将永远珍惜！
第 9 天和第 10 天。我们终于见到了 Stanza，然后我们去了 Kasane……他是我们一年半以来最常交流的人。Kasane 团队办公室的欢迎非常热情，感觉就像我们几乎和朋友团聚了。除了 Stanza，团队还包括 Lame、Letso、Katie 和 Thato。我们收到了手绘马克杯作为礼物。现在，非洲丛林爱好者的特色就在于此。注重细节。我的马克杯上除了我的名字外，还有乔贝河，我丈夫的马克杯上有一棵猴面包树。这些都是我们每个人都喜欢或非常兴奋的东西。当然是个性化的。我们还得到了印有我们名字的衬衫和我们狩猎路线的地图，以及印有公司标志的帽子！
第 9 天，我们在乔贝河上进行了一次美丽的巡游，直到日落，在那里我们看到了一只巨大的尼罗河鳄鱼、大象和河马。
最后，在第 10 天，也就是我们最后一天，团队成员 Letso 带我们去了维多利亚瀑布。瀑布非常美丽，比我想象的还要雄伟，我们和 Letso 共进的午餐非常愉快。他真是个好人！
第 9 天和第 10 天，我们住在 Travelodge，我不得不说，这是一家非常漂亮的酒店，员工也很棒！这是我和我的丈夫度过最后时光的好方式，我们俩一起谈论我们的冒险。
我们在第 11 天告别，我们被带到机场，但在此之前我们去了四个国家交界的卡宗古拉桥。我从来没有像现在这样难过地结束假期。这真是太完美了。
一些注释：
乔尔（非洲的乔尔）。真是个好人。聪明绝顶，对自然和野生动物充满热情，是专业的追踪者，当他知道我们想看什么时，他就会把它实现。我的丈夫喜欢科学、历史和地理，看着他和乔尔交流知识真的很甜蜜！他的驾驶技术在有时崎岖的地形上非常出色，只被困过一次，哈哈。IT 也是如此。这两位先生都给我们留下了非常积极的印象！整个团队对大自然和我们欣赏的知识都极为尊重。
在我看来，博茨瓦纳作为一个国家非常干净。不要乱扔垃圾，只留下你的脚印！
我们是在冬季去的。早上和晚上很冷，但白天很热！！请按要求打包。说到打包，我有几个小贴士：女士们……打包运动胸罩。地形崎岖，你要保证安全！我发现干燥、多尘的空气会刺激我的喉咙，所以我建议开车时带上口罩、止痛药、润唇膏和喉咙滴剂。早上开车时带上冬帽和手套。带上少量洗衣皂洗手。额外的保湿霜也是必须的……我的皮肤真的很干燥！
做好准备……有些地方的车程很长，但沿途有很多值得一看的地方！
我们是吸烟者，ABL 允许我们抽烟。但请不要乱扔烟头。我们用水瓶装了一点水来擦烟头。我们确实努力做有礼貌的吸烟者。
关于 African Bush Lovers 的最后一点：我们对这家公司的好话真是说不完。我们受到了像家人一样的待遇，团队中的每个人都很热情、友好、专业，最重要的是，他们渴望让我们的旅行完美无缺。我们是非常悠闲的加拿大人，喜欢开玩笑和调侃，团队也加入了进来，让我们感觉更像是一家人！这次旅行改变了我们，让我们作为夫妻更加亲密。它让我重拾对观鸟和摄影的热爱，而这些我都忽略了。
如果您正在寻找价格合理的独一无二的狩猎体验，那么 African Bush Lovers Travel & Tours 就是您的不二之选。我们的旅行远远超出了我们的预期，甚至比我梦想的还要好！
感谢整个团队为我们留下了永远珍惜的回忆！
我联系了团队，告知了我们的需求，并得到了及时而专业的回复，并提供了建议的行程和费用。行程听起来很完美，价格也在我们的预算之内……尤其是因为我能够将其分成几笔付款。我还应该提到，这次旅行筹备了一年半！

我们每天开车 2 次，每次都有新的发现。我们看到了……大象、狮子、豹子、猎豹、河马，长颈鹿、斑马、黑斑羚、水羚、非洲野狗、猴子、狒狒、非洲水牛、羚羊、小羚羊、蓝水牛、疣猪、树松鼠、斑鬣狗、豺、猫鼬、许多小动物和许多鸟类。除了列出的景点外，我们还看到并了解了不同的景观和苏维特山丘，看到了古老的岩画，我的丈夫特别喜欢看和了解猴面包树。我们早上开车时停下来吃点零食和喝咖啡。在晚上开车结束时，我们一边喝着冰啤酒，一边欣赏着最美丽的日落。乔尔会选择最美丽的地方停下来，那里风景优美，而且经常能看到野生动物。这些都是我最喜欢的时刻。一天结束时，我们的灵魂充实，身体疲惫，但我们总是很兴奋第二天早上早起，准备下一次冒险。开车时，我们所需的一切都得到了满足……饮料……啤酒、水、软饮料和零食。在丛林中度过的整整 6 天真是太棒了。一生难忘的冒险！！
Reginah 和她的烹饪技巧每天都给我们留下深刻印象，我们不停地说着谢谢。我忘了提前告诉 ABL 我们的结婚纪念日是 23 号，但可爱的 Reginah 那天在丛林中为我们烤了一个蛋糕！！还点了蜡烛！蛋糕很美味！多么美好的回忆，我们将永远珍惜！
第 9 天和第 10 天。我们终于见到了 Stanza，然后我们去了 Kasane……他是我们一年半以来最常交流的人。Kasane 团队办公室的欢迎非常热情，感觉就像我们几乎和朋友团聚了。除了 Stanza，团队还包括 Lame、Letso、Katie 和 Thato。我们收到了手绘马克杯作为礼物。现在，非洲丛林爱好者的特色就在于此。注重细节。我的马克杯上除了我的名字外，还有乔贝河，我丈夫的马克杯上有一棵猴面包树。这些都是我们每个人都喜欢或非常兴奋的东西。当然是个性化的。我们还得到了印有我们名字的衬衫和我们狩猎路线的地图，以及印有公司标志的帽子！
第 9 天，我们在乔贝河上进行了一次美丽的巡游，直到日落，在那里我们看到了一只巨大的尼罗河鳄鱼、大象和河马。
最后，在第 10 天，也就是我们最后一天，团队成员 Letso 带我们去了维多利亚瀑布。瀑布非常美丽，比我想象的还要雄伟，我们和 Letso 共进的午餐非常愉快。他真是个好人！
第 9 天和第 10 天，我们住在 Travelodge，我不得不说，这是一家非常漂亮的酒店，员工也很棒！这是我和我的丈夫度过最后时光的好方式，我们俩一起谈论我们的冒险。
我们在第 11 天告别，我们被带到机场，但在此之前我们去了四个国家交界的卡宗古拉桥。我从来没有像现在这样难过地结束假期。这真是太完美了。
一些注释：
乔尔（非洲的乔尔）。真是个好人。聪明绝顶，对自然和野生动物充满热情，是专业的追踪者，当他知道我们想看什么时，他就会把它实现。我的丈夫喜欢科学、历史和地理，看着他和乔尔交流知识真的很甜蜜！他的驾驶技术在有时崎岖的地形上非常出色，只被困过一次，哈哈。IT 也是如此。这两位先生都给我们留下了非常积极的印象！整个团队对大自然和我们欣赏的知识都极为尊重。
在我看来，博茨瓦纳作为一个国家非常干净。不要乱扔垃圾，只留下你的脚印！
我们是在冬季去的。早上和晚上很冷，但白天很热！！请按要求打包。说到打包，我有几个小贴士：女士们……打包运动胸罩。地形崎岖，你要保证安全！我发现干燥、多尘的空气会刺激我的喉咙，所以我建议开车时带上口罩、止痛药、润唇膏和喉咙滴剂。早上开车时带上冬帽和手套。带上少量洗衣皂洗手。额外的保湿霜也是必须的……我的皮肤真的很干燥！
做好准备……有些地方的车程很长，但沿途有很多值得一看的地方！
我们是吸烟者，ABL 允许我们抽烟。但请不要乱扔烟头。我们用水瓶装了一点水来擦烟头。我们确实努力做有礼貌的吸烟者。
关于 African Bush Lovers 的最后一点：我们对这家公司的好话真是说不完。我们受到了像家人一样的待遇，团队中的每个人都很热情、友好、专业，最重要的是，他们渴望让我们的旅行完美无缺。我们是非常悠闲的加拿大人，喜欢开玩笑和调侃，团队也加入了进来，让我们感觉更像是一家人！这次旅行改变了我们，让我们作为夫妻更加亲密。它让我重拾对观鸟和摄影的热爱，而这些我都忽略了。
如果您正在寻找价格合理的独一无二的狩猎体验，那么 African Bush Lovers Travel & Tours 就是您的不二之选。我们的旅行远远超出了我们的预期，甚至比我梦想的还要好！
感谢整个团队为我们留下了永远珍惜的回忆！
