Exceptional trip made remarkable by team from Sekanka Safari
Our safari adventure with Sekanka Safari in November 2024 through the breathtaking Moremi Game Reserve, Okavango Delta, and Khwai Concession was truly an experience of a lifetime. This incredible journey was made exceptional by a dedicated team who ensured every moment was unforgettable.
Special thanks to our guide, Lenty, whose unmatched expertise, sharp instincts, and passion for Botswana’s wildlife turned every game drive into an extraordinary adventure. His knowledge and skill brought the wilderness to life in a way we’ll never forget.
The crew—Kelly, MP, and GT—were outstanding in their warmth and hospitality, ensuring we were always comfortable and well cared for. Our talented cook, Name, consistently impressed us with simple yet delicious meals, even in the heart of the wilderness.
One of the most memorable moments was the last evening around the campfire, filled with vibrant singing and dancing. The music and joy-filled moments brought us closer to the rich culture and spirit of the country, leaving us with cherished memories.
The second part of the journey was equally wonderful, as we checked into luxurious lodges (with Wilderness). The service was impeccable, and it was lovely to share the experience with other guests in these stunning accommodations - Camp Xakanaxa and Kwetsani Camp.
A special thanks to Anna for carefully crafting our itinerary and patiently guiding us through the planning process. Her willingness to jump on video calls to address our queries ensured we felt well-prepared and confident about the trip.
Botswana’s commitment to maintaining its concessions in pristine condition is truly commendable, offering an unspoiled and immersive wilderness experience.
If you’re still considering a Botswana safari, it’s an adventure you absolutely don’t want to miss. The combination of mobile camping and luxury lodges offered a perfect balance of adventure and comfort. Botswana’s stunning landscapes, rich culture, and abundant wildlife made this a truly unforgettable journey. I highly recommend Sekanka Safari and their remarkable team for an authentic safari experience. Thank you for memories we’ll cherish forever!
Note: For those considering mobile camping, be prepared for basic shower and sanitary facilities—they’re functional but may take some adjusting if you are used to modern comforts. Also, early November can bring occasional rainy days, so pack accordingly with raincoats and warm jackets to handle the changing weather.

A perfect trip in a wonderful land
I travel always with my family, the kids now are 14 and 17.
Our trip trough Zimbabwe and Botswana was a much desired and long awaited trip and with Sekanka Safaris we had the best partner for the organisation of this dreamed vacation.
Anna and Tepo were always helpful and quick to respond.
On the spot we had a small inconvenience, which promptly, Anna and Co. solved with professionalism.
We met Mompati, who accompanied us and assisted us in our travels. Always discreet and friendly. Everything was perfect!
We loved this countries, the people, the smiles, the landscapes, the colours and the smells, and it was all due to Sekanka Safaris.
I Highly recommend Sekanka Safaris for a unique experience.

Exceptional Crew Made Our Safari Unforgettable
It was an incredible trip, truly authentic. The entire crew was absolutely amazing, going above and beyond to make our safari experience unforgettable. For my first safari, it set the bar so high that I imagine it will be hard to beat.

Knowledgeable, flexible and responsive company
Our safari in Botswana with Sekanka was an amazing experience. The tour was well planned and organised with flexibility and good communication from Anna. We were well looked after at every stage by our driver, Mompati . The game drives, river cruises and scenic flights were excellent with great guides. We saw an incredible number of animals and birds in the beautiful landscapes of Chobe , the Okavanga and the salt pans. The last two days in the Kalahari were an added bonus in experiencing a remote area at a lodge with brilliant service . Would definitely recommend .

Amazing Vacations
Thanks to Sekanka Travel we got an amazing experience, I should recognize that communication at the beginning was a little slow, but I could think that was due to the time difference.
They were able to politely answer all of our questions before the trip so we could enjoy everything.
In my opinion the cost of the trip was TOTALLY worth it, the food, the drinks and the quality service we gotnfrom our guide and chefs was astounding.
The main reason we took this trip, we were able to watch TONS of animals, and we believe was thanks to our great safari guide, and probably some luck!
Thank you sonmuch Sekanka Travel.

The perfect value for price option
We recently completed our honeymoon with Sekanka Travel and Tours Safaris, traveling from Maun to Victoria Falls in September 2024, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.
From the very beginning, the booking process was incredibly smooth and straightforward. The team at Sekanka was flexible and really attentive to our needs, ensuring that our trip was tailored to what we wanted. Even we did not know the company the payment process and method was trustful!
The first few days of the tour, including the accommodations and meals, were suitable for the price we paid. While the accommodation was comfortable and the meals adequate, it’s important to note that the vehicle used for the safari was the oldest one in the area, which led to a few breakdowns along the way. One of these breakdowns came close to making us miss an activity, which was a bit stressful, but the driver was quick to resolve the issue each time.
However, as the trip went on, the experience improved dramatically. The final nights of our tour and the sunset cruise were absolutely amazing—truly the highlight of our trip. The service and views were exceptional, making up for the earlier hiccups.
We also shared the try with another 2 couples from USA and Nederland and it was so great!
Overall, we highly recommend Sekanka Travel and Tours Safaris. Despite the few setbacks, the company is professional, accommodating, and offers a truly memorable safari experience.

Great support from Sekanka Travel
we travelled to Vic Falls (Zimbabwe) and through Botswana on a 9 day safari with Sekanka Travel.
Anna and Tepo where excellent and our guide Macha was fantastic.
Our one recommendation would be to confirm which accommodation you will be staying at in each location and stop of your safari.
Some locations have more than one accommodation option - and if you'd prefer one lodge vs another - make sure you share this with Tepo and Anna and they can ensure you are in the exact accommodation you want to be in.
For Victoria falls - we would recommend the Shearwater explorers village vs the PheZulu lodge. The PheZulu lodge is nice but its quite a walk (25 minutes) to the central shopping are of Victoria falls.

Exciting tour with a lot of variation
I contacted Tepo and Anna originally with a request about a mobile safari. Soon, I let them organize the whole holiday of 2 weeks, from Vic Falls to Maun, mobile safari and lodges included. Always prepared to give good advice, very patient with all my questions, they made our first African trip a huge success at a very fair price. The team of the mobile safari was top. Thank you Salani, MP, Joe and Lo! It couldn't be better. Salani was able to show us wild dogs, leopards, lots of lions, and so many more ... always with a smile :)
Thank you guys! Bart, Ann, Janne and Judit

This journey stays in our hearts forever
Travelling with Sekanka Safaris has been a absolutely fantastic experience for us, a family of five with children aged 12, 15 and 17. 10 days so full of exciting wild life experiences, fantastic nature and wonderful people, this journey will stay in our hearts forever. Some nights we stayed in pleasant lodges, but the best for us was by far the days and nights we spent camping in the wilderness. So many exciting encounters with wild animals, and still we felt completely safe and secure. This was thanks to our amazing guide, Lenti, and the rest of the team that followed us on our camping days. They all made us feel comfortable and at home in the wilderness, always polite and nice and smiling. And Lenti... Our children said they missed him in the moment he left us after the last morning drive in Chobe National Park, and we parents totally agreed. What a resourceful and knowledgeable and good person! We could ask him anything - about any animal, landscape, climate, culture, people, Botswana politics... And he told us everything we needed to know, at any time. His knowledge about the animals around us seemed limitless. We couldn´t be happier with our guide!
Some parts of the trip we had game drives and activities with other companies that Sekanka cooperate with. But the experiences with Sekanka's own crew was by far the best. Thank you for making our dream come true.
