Great Mobile Safari experience in Botswana (with a correct price/value)
Trip to Botswana with Kalahari Skies July 2014
In 2011, we went for the first time to Botswana. Via internet, we’ve discovered Kalahari Skies, a company owned by Belgium Eddy Everaerdt and his French wife Mano. They are mainly specialized in mobile safaris , although other options are also possible.
This was a great experience for us. You can read our first review on the website of Kalahari Skies.
In 2014, we decided to go for a second time to Botswana. It was a happy reunion with Eddy and Mano. It was also clear Eddy worked hard to expand his business during the last 3 years.
We went on a tailor made safari of 12 days in Botswana. Organisation was as good as first time but with additional luxury aspects. The tents are new and much larger, having 2 compartments. This has the advantage to have a separate area in the tent for storage of clothing and luggage. We also had a chemical toilet in the tent, easy because no need to go outside the tent at night.
Experience was great again. Lots of game spotted, up to 50 lions and elephants were walking through the camp. At night, it happened that animals were sniffing at our tent. (Remember this can not be guaranteed, animals can only be viewed if they feel like showing up!)
Food was good and healthy. The day ended at the camp fire, drinking a gin-tonic and/or a glass of wine and telling typcial camp fire stories. The whole trip was with a personal touch.
Africa is captured in our heart. We will be back.
Thanks Eddy en Mano.

Outstanding Experience
Eddy and his team from Kalahari Skies are a superb organization offering an excellent service on every level. All communication was swift and clear. They are reliable, honorable and work hard to cater to everyone's needs. The safari was extremely well organized and planned - as were all the camping facilities, accommodation, food and extras. The whole experience far exceeded all our expectations. Their extensive knowledge of the animals, birds, terrain and people greatly enhanced the experience. We speak of Eddy and his crew all the time and cannot wait to return. Thank you.

Perfect Amazing Unforgettable professional comfortable
Eddy and his wife are exceptional. I have been on many safari's and by far I would rate this as the best. They are so accommodating, professional and serve gourmet food. The tents are huge. They supply everything, from bedding, towels, soap, wash basins, warm shower etc. Eddy is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have ever had and he will go out of his way to find the animals. I would highly recommend him. Do not do a private game reserve where they 'plant' the food for the animals. It is cruel. With Eddy you will see Africa, as it should be, in the wild.

amazing, unique experience
the best safari ever!!! with my family we did 10 day safari in tended camp with Eddy and his team. difficult to express in words the amazing, unique feelings we have experienced. everything was perfectly organized and managed, with professionality and much passion. Eddy is an excellent guide, makes yo live the savanna as nobody else can do. he knows everything about wildlife and share his knowledge as well as interesting anecdotes while driving during the day and chatting around the fire in the evening. His wife Manu and their assistants prepared for us amazingly delicious food every day, always attentive to our taste and needs. the experience of the tended camp allow to really feel the beauty of the nature....makes you feeling part of it. just need to be conscious and respectful of its rules. next safari? certainly with Eddy and in tended camp!

Authentic and thrilling experience, never to forget, thanks to Kalahari Skies!
I really enjoyed a wonderful safari in Botswana, thanks to the perfect organization, kindness, excellent cooking and incredible expertise of fauna and flora of Eddy & Mano and their Kalahari Skies-team. Camping in the middle of wildlife is an extraordinary, authentic and thrilling experience, never to forget. Thank you so much, Eddy, Mano, Tumello and Lennert! I hope we’ll meet again in Botswana.

Extraordinary experience, thanks to Kalahari Skies
Our first safari ever was a complete success. Everything was perfectly organized and managed: the exciting game drives, the excellent cooking, the careless staying in the tented camps.
Eddy showed us a wonderful piece of Botswana nature of which he seems to know every animal and every tree. His knowledge about fauna and flora is incredible. Together with Mano, Leonard and Tumelo he made this trip an extraordinary experience that we will never forget.

Delightful camping, delicious food and excellent safari trips
We particularly enjoyed camping in the reserves and were impressed by the efficiency with which the team set the camp up with the tents, toilets and showers definitely beyond my expectation! The meals were well cooked and beautifully set out to make very enjoyable evenings, finishing around the camp fire. The actual safaris were well driven and the guides had an extensive knowledge of the area and all wildlife. The trip notes from our company (Intrepid/ Peak) were very poor but this was not the fault of Kalahari Skies.
