EXCELLENT Based on 47 reviews Posted on ingridhattonVerified Botswana Overlanding and Lodge Adventure Wandering Thru planned and booked a wonderful trip through Botswana for us. We spent 21 unforgettable days exploring through a mix of rugged overlanding and restful lodge stays and we’re still buzzing from it all.From bumpy 4x4 tracks and wild bush camps to warm lodge beds and open-air dinners, the contrast made the trip truly special. We saw elephants at sunrise, lions on the move, hippos under the stars, and met the kindest people along the way.Camping gave us freedom and that raw connection with nature, while the lodges gave us just enough comfort to recharge and take it all in.We’ll be dining out on these memories for a long time to come — Botswana, you have our hearts.Posted on Bronwen RVerified Beautiful lodges and great service We enjoyed an overlanding experience with some camping and some luxury lodges organised by Wandering Thru and accompanied by Ryan. It was very well organised and we had the most amazing life experiences. Unfortunately one of our group was sick and Wandering Thru organised a helicopter trip to hospital in Maun and helped organise accommodation there for the couple and a return flight to rejoin us a few days later. It all went seamlessly well. Highly recommendedPosted on Anna KVerified Unforgettable This was our second safari with WanderingThru, and somehow, it was even better than the first—absolutely perfect from start to finish. Botswana’s landscapes and wildlife are stunning, and the entire experience was unforgettable.Our guide, Tristan, was outstanding—fun, incredibly knowledgeable, and always one step ahead in anticipating our needs. He made every game drive feel like a new adventure, and the wildlife sightings we had were truly unbelievable.The accommodations were perfect—comfortable, well-appointed, and immersed in nature. Everyone we encountered, from the staff to the guides, was warm, welcoming, and professional. The level of service was exceptional throughout the trip.WanderingThru clearly knows how to deliver a world-class safari experience. I've already recommended them to several friends and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. If you’re considering a safari in Botswana, go with WanderingThru—you won’t regret it.Posted on Kathleen CVerified Wonderful South African Safari with WanderingThru This is my second safari arranged with WanderingThru. They are easy to work with and will set up what you are interested in. This time my niece and I started at Nkorho in Sabi Sand. The camp is small, which I loved. Our accommodations were wonderful, comfortable beds, indoor and outdoor showers, and a big sliding glass door that overlooked the waterhole where animals came by daily. Everyone that worked there were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and the safari drives were exceptional. Lots of leopards, lions, buffalo, etc. Our guide, Matt, went out of his way to find us a month old baby rhino.Our second camp was AndBeyond Ngala, a much larger camp. Again, the accommodations were great. Very luxurious. The people were friendly and helpful. The food was great. The safaris were great. Our guide, Sean, worked hard to find us the Birmingham pride with the white lions. My niece wanted to see wild dogs, and Sean made arrangements for us to visit a den where we saw 7 four week old puppies.We were very pleased with our trip. And WanderingThru helped with sending us befor we left information about weather, packing tips and other useful information. I recommend WanderingThru to anyone interested in going on safari.Posted on Giacomo OVerified Wandering Thru made our dream of going on safari come true — and within budget!The whole experience far exceeded our expectations.If you're thinking of going on safari, contact Wandering Thru — they'll work closely with you to create a personalized trip.Posted on Russell NVerified Botswana safaris with Wandering Thru I've been travelling to southern Africa for 22 years and have just completed my eighth trip; this time to Botswana for a second time. I've had some amazing experiences over the years in many parts of South Africa, and in Zambia and Botswana but nothing yet compares with my most recent trip to Botswana. This is my second safari with Wandering Thru and, by far, it's unquestionably the most memorable. Our guide, WanderingThru's Ale, was quite wonderful and exceptionally professional. Ale made sure we were all well looked after and, importantly, included and supported us throughout the trip.Ale was superb in the way she worked with us and the local guides, and with the teams at the two lodges. Her knowledge of the local flora and fauna is outstanding and gave us a great appreciation of the local ecology and the natural environment generally. Coupled with the insights we received from chatting with the local people, and Ale's dedication and support, I made some delightful friends and experienced a trip I shall never forget.I'm excited to start planning my next trip to the African wilderness, which I hope shall be very soon. I'll be speaking to WanderingThru as my very first step and I encourage others who want to experience that to start there too.Posted on BellatravelscomVerified Botswana safaris with Wandering Thru This is our second safari organised by Wandering Thru. This time we were accompanied by Ale. From greeting us at Johannesburg airport she made our trip run very smoothly and easily. The two locations selected by the team in Botswana were outstanding, both in terms of accommodation and wildlife. We had local guides and their guiding was enhanced by Ale’s exceptional knowledge and photographic experience. We would highly recommend Wandering Thru for anyone wanting to enhance what is already an adventure of a lifetime.Posted on Annette CVerified South Africa, there are no words that describe you We travelled to South Africa in late April and early May 2025, the experience was amazing.Every place we visited and every experience exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Wandering Thru, and especially Ale Olivieri, who made all the difference to our trip. He was always available to answer our questions and guide us with patience and dedication.From the start, Wandering Thru offered us different options based on our budget. Finally, we chose to stay at the Bateleur Safari Camp, which we definitely give a 10/10. Everything was perfect! Our guides, Lucky and Thomas, were exceptional. At Bateleur you feel special from the first moment to the last — the staff, the location, the facilities, the food... everything was just spotless.South Africa pleasantly surprised us. It is only a small part of that great continent, but what a well organized and developed country for tourism.When asked how the trip went, I honestly fall short: there are no words to describe how WONDERFUL it was! I left South Africa because my passport says so... but my heart and mind are still there, especially in the Bateleur.Posted on tortoisephobicVerified Amazing Trip organised by Wandering Thru We had an amazing trip to Klaserie Camps Nzumba in March. We stayed for 8 nights and were guided by Ryan Johnston. Everything about the trip was superbly organised. The Lodge was beautiful and the rooms were extremely comfortable with absolutely everything we could possibly need.The staff were lovely, really kind and helpful. Ryan gave us such a wonderful time. He was very professional and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. The scenery around the Klaserie is beautiful and breathtaking. We had the most amazing coffee and drinks stops. Thank you so much to Ryan, WanderingThru and all the staff at Nzumba for giving us the most amazing time for our 70th birthdays trip.Posted on V CVerified Best holidays ever That was the trip of a lifetime!!!! We couldn’t believe our eyes the day we arrive at the lodge. The service provided by Ale for the organisation of the trip is 5 stars. Thank you so much. My daughter had her birthday during the trip and even a surprise was organised for her :-)
