Botswana Travel Guide

Fantastic

Fantastic experience, all tendets camps was excellent

sorry, I dont understand vibe

Beautiful trip to Chobe and Okavango Delta

The Chobe Safari Lodge we would not book again, because it was too big for us, but it was not bad.The food was not as we were used to from other lodges before (in Namibia) and unfortunately, the dinner buffet colsed at 08:30 pm. From the game drives we came back around 6:30 pm. To come still on time for dinner, after a shower etc., was then almost stressful.
The organization of the game drives and boat trips was well organized and we liked it.
The Oddballs Camp we liked very much. It is a very simple camp, but the care was great, the food was good and we had everything we needed.
The tour for camping we also would not book any more. Too many efforts with tent building dismantle, cook yourself etc. The camp itself offers the same natural experiences. Therefore, it is not necessary to accept this simplicity in order to achieve even more natural experiences.
All in all it was a very great experience and everything worked out wonderfully with Zambezi Safari and Travel Company. The communication with Liz was uniquely good. Thanks to the whole Team.

Wonderful wilderness/wildlife experience in Chobe National Park.

The wildlife experience was wonderful. The scenery is rugged, but natural and interesting, not spectacular. The weather was good with a light rain each morning before sunrise. The camping accommodations were much too primitive for 69 year olds and described to us poorly. We were expecting ''glamping". Our guide, Issac,was charming, informative and extreemly well informed about the animals in the park. I was very impresssed with the ecology and conservation practices of the guides in the park. I was a little surprised when we watched ,disapprovingly as a guide roared his truck off road and up to a mating lion pair, to find there is no process in place to reprimand the display of bad judgement. The food was great and the overall experience wonderful. I would recommend this safari to others.

Botswana: Not to be missed in any African Adventure.

Firstly it should be appreciated that Botswana is a shining light among African Countries by avoiding the humanitarian, political and economic mess that has characterized to post colonial status of the majority of African states. Secondly Botswana's conservation policies are to be applauded.
Royal Tree Lodge, just outside Maun proved an ideal spot to recover from our international flight with excellent accommodation and what we realized later gave us the best look at the herbivore population at the lodge which can be viewed at close hand on foot or horseback. Royal Tree Lodge funds a Mission in Maun that undertakes a wide range of humanitarian work.
Tusker's was excellent but one night would have been sufficient as a stop over on the way to the Delta, to see what they had to offer: mostly elephants. We chose land transport to get to Xobega Island Camp. The roads are seriously rough but the drive from Tusker's to the boat station made it all worth while and we enjoyed the Game Viewing around the lagoons on the way which I assume would not be included if flying in.

Xobega was magical, especially the camp culture, the bird life and the sunsets.

Our driver was uncompromising in ensuring we had the best experience. Our next adventure, the Chobe Princess is also not to be missed but we were never sure if we were in Botswana or not. We would certainly recommend the Princess ahead of the larger boats but would suggest incorporating a Land excursion in the Chobe national park.

Fantastic safari in Chobe during low season

Lots of animals, babies, birds and greenery...
Great accomodation and awesome guide, overall a lifetime experience

Very few human settlements, so more nature and wildlife which roams freely. Nice weather, sunshine all year-round and cost of living is quite afordable.

A life changing experience beyond expectations.

I am humbled and privileged to witness nature at work with Botswana's amazing wildlife. Highlights included seeing elephants, lions, cheetah, leopard, hyena, wild cat, hippo, several antelopes -- so many, many wonderful cherished moments with a leopard cub, and several hyena cubs,and lion cubs. The guides and lodging were spectacular; the food was delicious; the staff members were wonderful. Everything was well beyond my wildest dreams. In fact, I am returning to Botswana in June 2019. I now consider Botswana my paradise -- some people have tropical islands for their paradise, mine is the African bush and its lovely people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I think there are more predators missing in the park ... the rest is great

Tony Mobile Safaris is totally recomended, the guys made our trip to a very special.

I'd never thought, that we see so much wildlife, nature and meet such nice guys. Everything was very fine, we would do this Safari every time again.
