7 Botswana leaves lasting impressions


SONIA DIXON, DIRECTOR, HOLIDAYSPLEASE “Winning my place on the Botswana Tourism fam trip last year was wonderful. Botswana's online training programme – www.onlinetraveltraining.com – is a fantastic starting point to help you appreciate the country and feel more confi dent selling Botswana, but going there takes you to another level altogether.


Seeing, breathing and feeling everything there you see a very diverse country. The highlights for me were amazing game viewing opportunities coupled with the most welcoming of people. Botswana has something for everyone so don’t just read Alexander McCall-Smith's No 1 Ladies Detective Agency books, go and see it for yourself and certainly do not be apprehensive about sending your clients there – they are going to have a wonderful time!”


GORDON LAWRENCE,


BRANCH MANAGER, GAZELLE TRAVEL, NEWCASTLE “Tuli, the fi rst stop on our Botswana Tourism fam, was a magnifi cent wilderness where we encountered many types of game from elephants to hyenas. “On arrival at Kalahari Plains we walked into the lounge and were greeted by a magnifi cent view of the salt pans and the wildlife roaming it. Highlights


included a leopard in camp and sleeping outside (by choice!) under the stars. The next morning we discovered there were two lions close to camp! “Okavango was totally different, due to the fl ooded channels, and it was


here that I had my most memorable experience – of walking with an elephant. “The internal fl ights were magnifi cent: a real Out of Africa experience with grass landing strips and pilots “fl ying by the seat of their pants”.
