    The Rhinos Diamonds and Okavango Delta Tour is Jam packed with sites, and activities. I would almost recommend this be a 6 day tour with an extra day a goo-moremi to relax and decompress. Our safari driver was excellent!!! out in the bush he knew exactly where to get us so that we could see so many animals. We even ended up seeing Painted African Dogs!!! The overland to Gaborone can be grueling on day 3, but we were able to be at the Boteti River Bed for the beginning of the zebra migration. The city tour providers were extremely knowledgeable and everyone we met was friendly and we always felt safe. 5 stars for the tour, 4 stars for the pace, but that was our decision, and I'd recommend Kalahari Breeze for any tours in the future.
