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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
