World Class Service for a once in a lifetime experience!
To celebrate the 2023 New Year my partner and I decided to book a Safari with Kalahari Tours in Chobe National Park, Botswana, and it was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the tour operator made us feel like we were in the best hands. They were incredibly humble yet offered world-class service throughout the entire trip.
The safari itself was breathtaking. We saw everything from elephants to lions, and the guides were so knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the wildlife and the park's ecosystem. Each day felt like a new adventure, with stunning sunrise and sunset game drives, and the boat cruise along the Chobe River was truly magical. The hospitality and care shown by the entire team made this trip one to remember.
The accommodations were comfortable and well-situated to offer a unique stay within the park. Every detail was taken care of, from delicious meals to thoughtful touches that made the experience extra special.
I highly recommend this tour operator for anyone looking to explore Chobe National Park. Their dedication to creating an unforgettable experience really sets them apart. I hope to return one day—it’s a place that leaves you with memories for a lifetime!

Simple to book, attentive to our needs, and great service.
We spent 3 days and 2 nights in Chobe. Both the river and land safaris were amazing. We didn't expect to see such a large number of animals. Additionally, we learned a lot about nature and wildlife from our guide, Mondo. Thanks to him, we were able to spot leopards on three separate occasions, thanks to his remarkable visual and tracking skills.

This tour was one of the best moments of my life
We spent three days in Chobe park, two nights in a bush camp and I must say it was just awesome. We watch elephants, lions, impalas, girafes, buffalos, crocodiles living their lives and it was amazing. The nights in the bush camp were... wow! To sleep hearing the roar of lions was wonderful. We knew that we couldn't go out of the tent but at the same time we felt perfectly safe. Because, the other good part of the experience was the efficiency and kindness of the guides. G, (or you spell Gee?), you were just the perfect guide, so attentive, kind, witty... We could feel your love and respect for the animals and nature. The moment of the lioness with the two cubs, unforgettable. Thank you, thank you for so many things. Say hello to the baboons from us, please!
What else? The food was very good, the facilities too. Everything was just perfect. It really worths the money you pay for it. I strongly recommend Kalahary Tours if you want have the experience of your life.

Knowledge + Service = WOW!
Rex and the great folks from Kalahari Tours coordinated tours of Chobe National Park & River for 4 days for our group of 12. Every single person was very experienced and knowledgeable. Most had been with the company for years, were very personable, and knew all the best secrets and tips to locating the animals. They were easy to understand, funny, and great smiles. They seemed to truly love guiding us.
Every jeep was stocked with all sorts of cold beverages to keep us hydrated and happy. After a morning expedition on our day tour of the park, we dined on a delicious spread of foods and beverages in a picnic area. The tables were covered with colorful African material, and the buffet food line was mouth watering. Martha Stewart would have been envious!
Our experience was delightful from start to finish. Trust Kalahari - they know how to do it right!

Great Camping Experience
The 3 days/2 nights camping trip to Chobe NP was perfectly organized, from start to finish (including formalities at the border, pick-up from hotel in Zambia, drop off in Zimbabwe, etc.)
All vital information was provided beforehand, including a list of what to pack/wear. Our guide Sam went out of his way to make it the best experience for everyone, and he gladly shared his incredible knowledge of the animals and nature. He was fun, but at the same time very professional when it came to safety and respecting and protecting the wildlife. Also Bernard, the camp's chef and Amos, the camp's host, took great care of everything and everyone. The campsite is unfenced, and of course basic for that matter, but has everything you need and would expect in such an amazing setting, surrounded by nature. All in all excellent value for money and an absolute recommendation. I'd go again anytime!

Our tour operator was very friendly, informative and open for questions at any time.
Really enjoyed my stay! I went on a 3 day camping trip in Chobe National Park.
Food was great (options for vegans available, be sure to ask for it upfront so they can plan accordingly).
Saw a lot of animals and beautiful nature. Our guide was always open for questions and would tell us so much about all the wildlife and fauna in the park. I had a great time.
Thanks, Kalahari Tours!

Amazing!
Thank you to Kalahari Tours and Opi for an amazing Chobe adventure. Opi is knowledgeable about all animals and birds and also knows all the right lighting and can turn the boat and the Land Cruiser to get the best pictures and also selfies! Everyone was helpful and the company seems very responsible. What an amazing day that our family will never forget.

This is the agency you want to go with
The skills and knowledge of the driver is key to the experience of the Chobe NP. Tracking the animals, driving safely on the bumpy roads while explaining the animal behavior. Kalahari tours has the best drivers.
We had the best sightings, learned a lot of things. Enjoyed magnificent sunsets and scenery.
While viewing a leopard close by, a pride of 16 lions, elephant families…
The camp was basic and correct. In plain nature. Food was good.
Absolutely recommendable.

Fantastic 2 night 3 day Camping Safari to Chobe National Park
We bought our Tickets through Umkulu Tours in Soth Africa. The transfer from Victoria Falls was seemless. Kalahari Tours has a very slick and smooth organisation. One is taken from the border to a their cafe HQ for breakfast. One boards a boat for a three hour tour on the Chobe River. Then lunch at the cafe. Nearly all their customers for the day do this. After the tour one enters the safari vehicle (well-designed and comfortable) for entry into the park.
Our tour guide was Sam who I think headed the guides for Kalahari Tours. Sam and his cook/assistant at Boga campsite were extraordinary. The food was amazing prepared as it was in camp conditions over open fires. Sam was an incredible, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide, who went out of his way to provide a memorable experience. Sam even tracked animals leaning from the vehicle. He was very aware of the home range and potential location of predators, including lions and leopards.
The camping experience was excellent though slightly scary. One heard elephants, lions and hyenas during the night. Ideally on shouldn't leave ones tent at night. If you need to pee you do it behind the tent preferably with your partner in tow.
