Best Safari operator we ever had
After travelling on Safaries - especially in Botswana, Namibia and Souh Africa - we travelled with Kalaharie Skies in April from Maun to Victoria Falls.
The crew is astonishing how they work in this enviroment. One had nothing to do but sit relax and enjoy the sorrounding. The meals cooked have been amazing when you realise the conditions in the bush they have to work with. The tents and the camp are wonderful, nearly as you have your own home along. As you are in the wilderness, you can not expect that you will see all the animals, but Eddy tried and found everything for us, from large elephant herds to the leopard babie.
And the arrangement had been 100% (scinic Okavango flight, Chobe river cruise, transport to Vic falls).
We will come back

It was an excellent and unforgettable experience.
Recommendation
We are 9 persons (5 adults and 4 children) from Switzerland and our guided tent safari from 27.09.2015 – 06.10.2015 led us from the Moremi National Park over the Khwai and the Savuti region to the Chobe National Park in Botswana.
We want to thank our guide, Mr Eddy Everaerdt, and his crew for the amazing experience. We appreciated not only Eddy’s competence and wide-ranging knowledge about the nature and wildlife of Botswana, that he shared with us during the tour, but also the perfect organisation, the delicious food, the kindness and helpfulness of the whole staff and the nice company of Eddy and his wife Mano in the evenings around the campfire.
We will never forget these interesting and adventurous days and recommend this tour with Eddy and his crew to all the people who are interested in Botswana’s marvellous nature and wildlife. For all of us it was an unforgettable and amazing experience!
We wish Eddy, Mano and the whole crew all the best for the future.

Fantastic mobile safari
We had a fantastic mobile safari with Kalahari skies during nine days in north Botswana, end April 2016.
On top of the non predictable luck to see so many animals, we (a family with 2 children) were accompanied by 3 very friendly and professional guys: a highly skilled and experienced guide for the exciting and very instructive game drives, a camp manager providing us the best comfort conditions, and a “chef” cooking so excellent meals. Many thanks to Marks, Rainy, and Izzy!
Everything was there to give us the best possible experience, from Moremi to Chobe through Kwai and Savuti, that we’ll remember forever. A successful safari not only depends on the presence of animals, but also on the way you live it : just go for a mobile safari with Kalahari skies!

Excellent travel, good professionnal
The services of the journey were exceptional, extraordinary camps in the middle of the bush with a remarkable service. Eddy is a lover of Africa who knows how to pass on his uncountable knowledge.

A great journey to different landscapes of Botswana
We ( 2 couples, we were 15 times on safari's) were 12 days with Eddy and it was a great time. He has been in Botswana for 21 years and his knowledge is exceptionel, where everybody goes right he goes left, for he "knows" what te animals are doing. For example: we saw a leopard ( one of the three this journey) other cars go into the bush in Savuti, we turn around and go to an open spot and after a while she walks towards us and we where right in front. His wife Monu is a great cook and Easy and Tumello, who helped, are fine guys. Tumello will be a great cook too.
Some things we did. A nice walk with the Meerkat. You walk for an hour or so with them and you can see perfect how they dig for food and give the first things to the little ones.
Had also a walk with the San people. They told us how they used the bush for food and medicines. Very interesting.
In Deception Valley we saw big herds of oryx and springbok. And a lot of bat-eared foxes. Great. Our last night we heard the lions rore and footprints around the camp. After 5 minutes on the road there were 5 lions with full bellies, when they walked further a lionkill of an oryx was there with an other 5 lions.
In Nxai Pan stood we walked between the famous Baines Baobabs. Not so many animals.
Then a long day to Khwai River. In those 3 days we took almost 1000 pictures. It was a super spot. The first evening 2 leopards. The next day wild dogs, mating lions and all kinds of birds.
The last place was Savuti. Here was the high light the herd of 150 elefants coming to drink and play in the pools.
To do a mobile safari has the adventige that you camp where the animals are, you are part of nature. The tents are very comfortable.
For us was the fact that Eddy speaks Dutch a great extra.
Groet,
Julia, Jannie, Jan en Willem

Out of Africa with dreamlike meals
We (my wife and me) stayed 5 nights with three kalahari skies guys. Spokes realized very soon our ideas of a relaxed safari and was a perfect guide. T.C. and Dumelo were the guys in the background, responible for a lot of fun and the best meals we ever had in the bush.
Thank you, we had a great time.
Our private mobile Safari in Botswana was simply perfect.
Our family (two adults, two teenagers) made a one week private mobile Safari with Kalahari Skies in Botswana (Chobe Waterfront, Savuti, Khwai River, Moremi). Everything was perfect: Organisation, food, accommodation (big tents with private "bathrooms", fully equipped safari beds etc). We saw an incredible amount of animals in a beautiful landscape. And the crew was phantastic. Max, our guide, is simply outstanding in his knowledge about animals and plants, and -more than this- a very nice guy who became a friend during our trip.
Lifelong memories with this exceptional operator with a passion for sharing what Botswana offers
My daughter and I went on the 10 day Botswana Classique mobile tenting safari starting in Maun then progressing through Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe River. Each place has its own special character which gave us a great experience. The entire experience, from initially contact over the Internet to explore options, through booking, organising extra tours at the end and, of course, the safari itself, was brilliant. Eddy and his team office support could not have been more helpful. Our tour guide and expect it tracker, Newman, taught us so much about the animals, land and culture. His love of the land and care of anima!s and their environment was great to experience. The camp and conditions were wonderfully managed by Stephen and his support crew, Mattias and Moses. The tents were always welcoming and the hot showers ready and waiting. Another highlight was the campfire meals. 3 courses and different Marvel's each night catering for my vegetarian daughter just as well as for me (the beef fillet was the best I have had!). I cannot rate this company high enough!

Perfect mobile safari in Botswana
Kalahari Skies made our holiday in Botswana better than we could have dreamed of. The recommendations and planning from Eddie were spot on. A great choice of campsites and safari route. Marks must be the best guide in Botswana: there seems to be no bird, animal or plant he does not know about. Let alone knowing exactly what his guests want! The camping was five star with hot showers on demand and incredible 3 course meals cooked on the fire. Thanks to the very friendly camp team of Eze, Mathew and Tumelo! We'll definitely be back once we have saved up enough Pula!
