Summary:
This was an amazing once in a lifetime tour. Bryn picked me up at my hotel and took me to the Botswana border where he walked me through the border process. He then connected me to the Botswana company, Holiday Africa Safari and Tours.
Richard picked me and two other people up at the Botswana border for a day trip to the Chobe National Park. Chose he was a great driver and tour guide, he made sure we saw many animals and we had enough time to take plenty of pictures. He made sure we had plenty of water and once the driving tour was completed, he took us to the a local resort for lunch. The buffet lunch was good and we had plenty of time to eat. to our boat for the river tour.
The boat was small and the Captain's name was Large. He was knowledgable about all the animals and a great boat captain. He made sure we had time to take plenty of pictures and had lots of water. After the boat tour, company staff returned us to the border where we met with our original drivers. I would highly recommend both company's.

Summary:
I was assigned Intondolo Safaris and Tours after booking a tour through Viator. Nkue verified that we were set for the tour and a pickup at 7am from my hotel. Bryn picked me up promptly and took me to the Zambia/Botswana border. He walked me through the border process where we met the tour company i would be joining for the safari. I joined Holiday Africa Safari and Tours where Richard drove us to Chose National Park. He was a great tour guide. He took us to a resort for our prearranged lunch and then his staff made sure we got on the tour boat, and afterwards took us back to the border. Bryan was there to pick me up and took me back to my hotel. Really appreciate all the work and effort Nkue and Bryan did to make sure this day was successful. I highly recommend Intondolo Safaris and Tours for your tour needs.
