GREAT EXPERIENCE
Overall rating
4/5

Our tour operator was TOUR RADAR but very lucky to be directly in touch with an agent of MZANSI EXPERIENCE very very helpful for all special questions.
5-Day Okavango Delta Moremi Reserve Experience that was a great experience
In September this year was very dry and hot. Lucky that we did fly over Okavango to see the remaining of water and the traces of the real flow.
A real sportive vacation. Waking up early driving a lot.
The experience with the Mokoro was nice as long we were paddling but terrible for the walk in the desert in full sun at midday seeing only skeletons for tourists. Nonsense
Boteti lodge superb choice of a tented camp
What we will not forget of our Botswana trip is the staff, the people who were so kind so helpful and so concerned to show the best of their living.

We love Botswana and our trip. It is a very organized trip, from beginning to the end. Service is great, people in the camps are very nice and responsible; delicious and veritable of local food; dinner tables set in front of the water pit, we can see animals group by group coming to drink water; great scenery , we saw many kind of animals , unique Africa trees, sunrise and sunset , etc. Our tour operator is very experienced and worked super hard to satisfy every customer. They often gave extra time if they found we are interested, never rushing, weather is hot, but temperature drop in the early morning and night. At night, you can hear the sound from animals but it is safe.

Wonderful experience....even for watching birds
Overall rating
4/5

One wild part in MOREMI and SAVUTI...we move "upmarket"day by day.....more and more animals, birds.
The apotheosis with the appearance of the Chobe river and its multitude of animals.
But in this place, what seemed extraordinary to us has become too common (the guides , for instance, know where are the lions , their territory...) and there is no more surprise...strange feeling!!

A country that offers a totally different experience
Overall rating
5/5

Botswana offers a different experience than the traditional safari, which is what we were looking for
In Chobe, the beauty and abundance of wild life was amazing, but what we really loved was the river safaris. You can see an incredible number of animals (not only herbivores, but also others like leopards, and many birds) in an open space with a beautiful scenery. Everybody was very nice and cheerful, and the quality of the resorts is very high. Where we stayed, all guides were women, which is remarkable, since it is very hard to find female guides in Africa. This is something that we appreciated as an initiative to push for real change
Okavango was the cherry on the cake. Only walking safaris, boat and canoe safaris were offered where we stayed. You can see the animals under a completely different perspective, and you can get a real feeling of adventure. The guides were very knowledgeable (we were really impressed, they knew absolutely everything), and also friendly and funny.

Botswana has so much to offer. From the beauty of its landscape and animals to the genuine nature of its people. Don’t know why it took me so long to get here.

Botswana's wild life is beyond compare. I was blown away in the first three hours I was there.
Overall rating
5/5

Our 15 day safari was wonderful. I expected to see some animals but the number we saw was incredible. The boat cruise on the Chobe River was amazing. Elephants, water buffalo, crocodiles, giraffes, antelopes, hippos and warthogs (this was in the first 3 hours). We got so close to the animals. We glamped for 15 days and saw at least one new animal everyday. Tony's Mobile Safari took great care of us. The only downside about the trip was that I was unprepared for the cold. The early morning game rides are very chilly. You need a toque, gloves and a light coat. The afternoons are glorious and warm. The scenery and sunsets are magical. As to safety, the only time I felt unsafe was when a male lion looked me in the eye and started walking towards me. I was in the Jeep, of course. He walked beside the jeep and went to sleep in the shade cast by the vehicle. He passed so close you felt like reaching out and petting him. I would recommend Botswana to everyone.
