not reliable
Overall, we do not recommend this company due to the dishonesty of the owner.
The opinion is based on experiences during an 8-day safari including Parks in Botswana and Victoria Falls.
Cons: Why do we rate the Owner of Lucky as dishonest? We had to buy our own entrance tickets to Victoria Falls, which he confirmed were included in the safari fees. Furthermore, even though he promised to refund these tickets, we never received our money back. An additional minus were the cars we drove - they were not properly checked and prepared, so one of the two vehicles broke down halfway through the safari, and Laky ineptly repaired them after two days.
Pros: It should be noted that the service team itself is great and we highly recommend them. A very good and committed guide, he tracked down every animal and always got very close to it. He was very nice and took care of us at every step. We would also like to thank the chef and assistant for the super tasty food and good organization of the camp, it was delicious, clean and very nice.

Because the tour operators love their jobs so much, we had an outstanding time.
9-Day Private Safari (Moremi, Khwai, Savuti, Chobe)
Our 9-day private safari with Kalahari Marsh Safari was simply extraordinary, and we can highly recommend it! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
The main point of contact, Lucky, who is the tour organizer, was absolutely perfect. He was always available, patient, and extremely knowledgeable, answering every question we had in an uncomplicated manner. Initially, we were quite anxious about transferring a large sum of money to someone we had never met in person. However, our worries were completely unfounded. Everything went smoothly, exactly as discussed before.
Upon arrival, Lucky personally greeted us two days in advance. Even before the safari began, Lucky and his team made sure all our needs were taken care of, from arranging taxi services to and from the airport to organizing a lovely dinner in the local brewery. His hospitality was top-notch, and we felt extremely warm welcomed.
The organization of the tour itself was just perfect. Our guide, LT, was incredible, with an immense knowledge. He shared fascinating insights about the wildlife, the land, and the local culture, making every moment a learning experience. LT's skills in tracking animals were ridiculous. We managed to see nearly 40 lions, 8 leopards, 1 cheetah, wild dogs, and so much more over the course of just 9 days.
After each game drive, we had fantastic and diverse meals. BK, the chef, did an outstanding job. It's amazing what he was able to cook using just a campfire and a pot! From pizza and pulled beef to traditional dishes, the food was always delicious. Lucky and BK even went the extra mile when shopping for our trip and accommodated our dietary preferences, including finding dairy-free alternatives like almond milk.
All in all, these 9 days were beyond our expectations. Everything worked out better than we could have imagined. The whole team was incredibly flexible, fulfilling every request we had. We couldn't have asked for a better tour operator. If you're considering a safari, we really recommend a booking with Kalahari Marsh Safari. We had such a great time because all of you love your job. Thank you, Lucky, LT, and BK, for an unforgettable adventure!

Did the camping safari and it was amazing. Hearing the animals at night was fascinating.
Our guide, LT, was great. He would follow the lion paw prints to find us a lot of lions. Many times we were the only ones watching them. Sarah and Gordy were great moving the camps from site to site and the meals were great as well.
The night game drives were fascinating at Khwai Concessions. Saw some animals and an owl we otherwise wouldn’t have seen.
Lucky was very responsive in my emails prior to the safari which was very comforting.

Great Experience in Botswana
We are group of seven family members, from US and China, we booked the 8-day Botswana tour with Kalahari Marsh Safari in late May. The trip started at Maun and ended in Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. Lucky was the organizer, LT was our guide, Sarah was the chef, with two other helpers for the daily work. They all accompanied us for the entire trip.
We have been to E. Africa safaris before, but we stayed in lodges all the time. This trip was the first time we did camping for multiple days. It was a great experience. Sarah cooked good food every day. LT is the best safari guide we have had in Africa. He has 35 years of experience as a guide, he knows the habits of all the animals, and has the knowledge and instinct to find them. We observed amazing wildlife in Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park. It was a beautiful place to experience Africa. Listening to LT to share his lion encounter stories was an added plus.
Lucky was very responsive in setting up the trips, he answered questions quickly, and patiently. The itinerary was full and busy. We get up at 5:30am everyday for the morning game drive. The 8-day trip certainly was not luxury. Sleeping in tents can be cold. But we saw wild dogs and hyenas around the tents some nights. These were unique experiences. Some days the drive was long and dusty. Our equipment truck had a couple of breakdowns, but Lucky and the team fixed the problems without much impact on the schedule.
We highly recommend Kalahari Marsh for Okavango Delta safari.
An Excellent Experience All Round
I did a Mokoro ride and bush walk in the Okavango Delta and it was a great experience. Lucky was very helpful throughout the booking process and the trip was very well organised. The Mokoro ride was interesting and relaxing and the bush walk was a good experience also. It was great to spend the day with the guys also - very nice guys and great to chat with.
