Make sure you get Verity for you agent
We looked at several different safari trips and different companies before we selected Uyaphi. The main reason we chose Uyaphi was their travel agent, Verity. She worked so hard to give us the trip we wanted. And what she personally arranged was so much better and less expensive than any other company. She is honest, reliable, dependable, and knowledgeable. Be sure you ask for Verity.

Perfect
Uyaphi organised everything perfectly, and my safari in Botswana was exactly as I expected.
They were constantly available, clearing any doubts and providing all the necessary details.
I highly recommend this agency.

Fantastic Service and Outstanding Service
Verity knows her business. We decided on a camping safari to keep costs down and adventure up mostly because we were traveling with a number of budget traveling younger folks. Our group was 8x which is pretty large. We booked about 6mo ahead which is actually pretty tight.
Verity found Sunway Safari for us and we camped in the Okavango, Moremi, Savuti and Chobe starting in Maun and ending in Vic Falls. Verity made arrangements for us in Johannesburg the night we arrived, booked tickets to Maun, booked us an extra night in Maun as we wanted to take a flightseeing trip on the Monday, booked flights from Vic Falls back to JoBurg and all the little connection minivans to get us from airports to hotels etc. And it didn't cost more than if we had booked it ourselves. What a savings to have someone who really knows what they are doing to help us.
The safari was fantastic. Canoed in for the first two bush camping nights which was a super cool way to start. Back to town and reloaded supplies for another 5 nights; 2x in Moremi which was special right next to a huge water hole filled with animals, 2x in Savuti where we saw many cats and another night at Chobe where we saw herds of animals and another 2x leopards. In total we logged 65+ animals and birds, over 25 lions, 3 leopards and a couple of smaller cats in addition to the herds of other animals. Hit everyone's bucket list
Ending up in Livingston was nice, 2 nights to decompress and share stories. Had a couple of evening cruises which were fun. And we booked the rafting trip. What a blast.
Camping is not for everyone but Verity knew it was for us and found the perfect safari to go on. I'd trust her to book any level of trip. You will be happy you did
