We spent 3 nights on the Pangolin Voyager (Namibian Side) and 3 nights at the Pangolin Hotel (Botswana Side) mid March 2025. Whilst the annual flood and not yet arrived, water levels were high and the bush was in good condition. The advantage with Pangolin is access to the photo boats, specifically designed for photographers and access to a photo guide, particularly useful for novice and less experienced photographers. However the key advantage in my view is access to sites not easily available, especially from the Pangolin Voyager. Cruising into a channel covered in lilies with African Jacana and chicks, Lesser Jacana, Little Bittern, Chirping Cisticola, Allen's Gallinule, Black Crake, Weavers, Bee-eaters and more. You do not know where to focus first and truly a magical experience. The staff were all wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable and addressed immediately a concern that I had, good on them and good customer service. I would advise that you make sure that the guide understands your area of interest. Naturally the focus is on the Elephants, Hippo's, Crocodiles and other mammals. However the region is a birders paradise and if you are a birder make sure that they know this. I am considering returning, once the new Pangolin Voyager is ready later this year, as the access to excellent birding locations is unprecedented. I came away with some wonderful photos of birds that I had always dreamed about. Now I need to go back for the ones I missed.
