Unforgettable journey
This trip was a delight due to the diversity of animals, the professionalism of the staff supervising the group and the team atmosphere. We traveled through different parks with a growing attraction to the fauna and flora. Tony is very attentive to everyone to enjoy the best angle of view. For a first for me I was immersed in the excursion and animal life.

Best safaris in Botswana
I am going in Safari since 2012 every year . It's for me the best guide I ever had. His team is perfect , lodging & food great, the balance between quality, service & price is unbeatable . I recommend !!!
Unforgettable and Amazing
Second experience with Tony and his team Ben and Ronald.
First safari in june 2023 was great from the first day to the last day and the second also.
Each time we had the chance to have magnificent and unforgettable animal encounters. Tony is an unparalleled naturalist guide, tracker. I have not forgotten his assistants Ronald and Ben who also contribute to the success of the stay: preparation of the camp and of course meals always excellent given the conditions. A very big thank you to Tony, Ben and Ronald. We will come back.

Lifetime experience. Lifetime memories
I can only recommend Toni Mobile Safari for the best experience ever. Toni is very experienced and knowledgeable about wildlife and all the species we encountered. He brought a joyful atmosphere and kindness all along the 10 days. Needless to mention the quality and quantity of the food that was daily prepared by Ronnie and Ben! The accomodation was beyond my expectations. Congratulations to Toni’s team that made these days an unforgettable and wonderful journey! Hats off Toni!

A wonderful safari experience, the staff are pros and know what they are doing.
We loved our 6-day Botswana safari with Tony Mobile Safari so much, we honestly don't know how it could have been improved. Our driver, Jack, was so calm and chill, he read his surroundings and pointed out the animal footprints, trees that were rubbed or bent over or bark eaten by animals, and was so knowledgeable about his country and his surroundings. He was a wonderful guide, we soon learned to just trust his instinct and we would find the animals. He had a good repertoire with the other drivers and they would share info on what they had seen and where, so you felt as if you really weren't missing anything. He would work so hard all day and still be very patient and funny and nice, he was a joy to be around all day. Back at camp we had Bongo cooking all our meals for us including fresh baked bread (!!) and he would pack a hot thermos of water for coffee and tea while we were out on the road every day. We are established campers and it felt very indulgent to have someone else preparing all your meals. It was such a treat to roll into camp all dusty and everything was set up for you by Desho. He would have a fully zipped tent set with two cots, pillows and sleeping bags inside ready to go. The tent had a front shade structure attached with a small basin of hot water to wash your dirty face - what a nice touch! They also had a small table and chairs as well as a light for us to eat our meals. The back of the tent unzipped into a private, walled-off bathroom area with a pit toilet and camp shower, which would be ready to go with hot water for a shower. It felt like a luxury to have a toilet right there, it made middle of the night trips easy, peasy! Tony is part of a small group of operators that share camping areas within the park, so there was always plenty of shade around our tent, as well as the tents for our staff. They would have a small fire welcoming us back home each night, which was a great touch.
The night before our safari left Maun, we had drinks with a friend who lives in Botswana and supplies food to other tour operators. She was asking how much we paid for our safari and when we told her she was surprised and impressed. We felt we had a very good value before we started the safari, and afterwards felt all the more confident that we really couldn't have had a better time. Our three staff were all so pleasant and easy going, life at camp was relaxing and chill. Our days in the jeep were as comfy as possible. It had a canopy for shade, was super padded everywhere, had power outlets to charge cameras, and a large cooler to keep drinks cold. We felt all the necessities were well thought out and looked after.
I will say, however, that this experience is not for everyone. My husband and I are tent campers on the regular, we think having a cot to sleep on is fancy as we usually sleep on an air mattress. If you don't like sleeping in a tent then you still won't like it in Africa. There are bugs, there are animals right outside your tent so you cannot leave it until morning (which I think is exciting, having a lion prowling around on the other side of your canvas wall?), and you poop in a pit toilet right next to where you take a shower. If any of these things sound bad to you do yourself and the tour operators a favor and book a safari where you sleep in a hotel at night. We saw other guests on safari (thankfully not with our group) who were high maintenance and complaining. If you're very finicky this is probably not the right vacation for you.
A few tips: It takes a long, dusty, bumpy, jeep ride every day to get out to see the animals in their natural habitat. Be mindful of your underwear - lace looks nice but after a day of bumping around any lace or large seam will rub and annoy you, so wear comfy, flat seamed underwear. If you're sensitive to dust bring a face mask or bandana you can cover up with when needed. Absolutely bring a good headlamp, you will need it inside your tent. Don't overpack, bring one warm jacket and pants which you will absolutely need in the early morning and late night, but you can wear the same pair all week long. Not having large luggage helps inside the tent also as you can cram your stuff underneath the cot. They provided us a towel each, so we didn't need to bring our own (saves space). Be patient, sometimes we would drive for a while without seeing much, other times it was a bonanza of animals. Trust Jack or your driver to find them, they've done this many times and really are the experts, let them do what they do best.
You will see so many animals, up close, just relax and enjoy the scenery. Our safari was absolutely amazing.

Reliable and professional
It was the best safari of my life. The team ensured maximum comfort during our camping stay, so that we didn't feel we needed anything. Every day the cook prepared delicious dishes and even baked bread and pies. It was amazing how possible it was in the savannah. Tony showed us as much of what could be seen from the life of wild animals. We got very close to the animals and it was safe. Highly recommend this team for organizing your safari.

The most impressive tour I ever had
I'm in love with Botsvana its nature, landscape and emotions I’ve got. Tony and his team took care of our group all the time, we had super professional guides Gaba and Tony himself, great food cooked with love from the chef, and all possible comfort in the camp.
We've seen the beauty of nature lions, zebras, girafs and other beautifull animals. I can 100% recommend tours with Anthony and his great team!
