3 Day Camping Tour in Chobe
I had a great time. Tony was a great animal tracker. He knew all the people in the park, so every time we passed someone, he would be able to find out where the animal were or weren't (determined which way he drove). He knew the park extremely well and very educated on all the animals. He allowed me to pick if we kept going or watched the animals. He was ready to go whenever I was. Food was good (gourmet for camping) and they did all the tent set up and break down, digging wholes, etc (I just sat, drank tea/coffee and watched). You didn't have to worry about anything but watching animals. Super nice tour guide and had a cook/another help. They did a great job and saw lots of animals.

Best guide & safari in all of Botswana
I've been on safari with Tony & his crew multiple times, and every time I go, I'm blown away by how incredibly knowledgable, funny, and wonderful he is. The tents, gear, and car are always in great shape, the food is delicious, and Tony's knowledge about wildlife and where to find animals is amazing. Guaranteed you cannot and will not find a better guide in all of Botswana than Tony. Always an amazing, amazing experience.

One of the best journeys ever
We just returned from a 7 day tour with Tony through Chobe Waterfront and Savuti on a camping safari. The experience was overwhelming. Tony proved to be an excellent guide and a great host.
Tony himself obviously is a great wildlife enthousiast and passionate photographer. Being a photographer himself he offered excellent angles and light of the animals he tracked for us (we will never understand how he does it: even in wild bush he would find an hyena for us, he tracked cheetahs, lions, and a huge variety of other animals). Other than I experienced on previous safaris, all the animals were very active, making the photography extra interesting.
The tour was well organized and left nothing to be desired. What was a very pleasant surprise was that he offers 220 in the Jeep for loading camera batteries, which was a thing less to worry about. The helpers Eddy and Mash were very friendly and served lovely food on the trip. For the two of us this was one of the very best trips we ever made. Thank you very much Tony and Merry Christmas!

Authentic and Unforgettable Safari
My boyfriend and I just came back from an amazing 7 days Chobe - Savuti mobile safari trip with Tony. Before the trip, I was a little worried as I did not know what to expect since it was our first time visiting a safari, and also the first time I did camping. However all those worries went away as soon as I saw how professional Tony and his team was from Day 1! They did their best to make sure that their guests are comfortable and well taken care of. Everything was always ready for us. We just had to eat, sleep and go out to look for the animals.
Our bush master, Tony is a nature lover and an avid photographer. He is very sharp and a natural at tracking the animals. We saw everything we hoped to see! Tony is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and would answer any questions you have.
Tony has a great sense of humor and made the trips fun. Eddie is an excellent cook and made sure our tummies were filled. Washa took such good care of us that we felt so pampered throughout the trip. The whole tour was such good value!
It was definitely a fun, authentic and unforgettable safari experience to be able to be sleeping in the same grounds as the animals.

Incredible Safari with Tony Mobile Safaris, the best Safari guide ever!
We just returned from our month long trip in Africa, and my favorite part was definitely our 8 day Safari with Tony Mobile Safaris. I was in Africa on a study abroad and our group was studying biology. Tony was the perfect guide as he knows an immense amount about the animals and their environment, and he also has a great sense of humor and made the trip a lot of fun! We learned a lot about the type of environment the animals live in, how the animals interact with each other, how the animals have adapted to their environment, and so much more. Tony is very nice and was always eager to answer any of our questions. Tony is also a lot of fun and would make sure we were having a good time. He talked with us around the campfire and was always checking on how we were doing. Tony is also very good at finding animals and we were able to see 3 female lions and watch them hunt cape buffalo, an African wildcat which is rare to see, 2 leopards, hyenas, cape buffalo, wildebeests, giraffes, zebras, and tons of elephants with some that got just feet away from our vehicle! He also took us to see a super lake and we got to watch the sunset on the lake which was beautiful, and on a river cruise on the Chobe river where we saw hippos and crocodiles! Tony is also a photographer and knows a ton about birds so we saw a lot of different bird species, my favorite being the African Fish Eagle.
Camping in the bush was an amazing experience, especially waking up to the sound of elephants trumpeting. The food that Eddie cooked for us was delicious, he even showed us how he made it! The other guides with Tony were Vincent, Gabba, Eddie, and Jakey and they were all very nice and a lot of fun! Overall, our experience was absolutely incredible and something that I will never forget. I learned so much from this trip and had so much fun all thanks to our amazing guide Tony.

Tony Mobile Safaris: A 100% MUST
Tony Mobile Safari made our once-in-a-lifetime trip even more incredible and memorable. Besides seeing the world's most amazing creatures face to face, Tony Mobile Safari helped our group really experience Botswana on a whole new level. They answered all of our many questions: about the wildlife, people, culture, and languages of the beautiful country of Botswana. I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable. I will always cherish my time out in the Kalahari, and I am certain that my experience there would not have been the same without Tony Mobile Safari. I cannot say enough good things about Tony and his crew. If you ever have the amazing opportunity travel to Botswana, Tony Mobile Safari is a 100% must!!

Excellent 4 days in Chobe with Tony
We had a great safari experience with Tony! It was fairly basic camping in the bush but we were comfortable and safe. Most importantly, we saw lots of animals. Tony was great at tracking and finding them and you can tell he loved being out there looking for them and photographing them. We went on a significantly more luxurious safari in SA after Botswana, but the animal experience with Tony in Chobe was definitely better!

Great Experience with Tony
We ended up with Tony Mobile Safari only because the other safari provider could not accommodate our dates. We has some concerns initially, but within half an hour of meeting Tony, I felt pretty much at ease. No regrets whatsoever! And for the rest of our time with Tony and his team, we felt safe and they took good care of us. Tony has good tracking skills, and can spot the animals from far away. He's a real easy going guy, and patiently tells you all about the different animals, and answer all your questions. The camp situation is pretty basic, but we were comfortable. Thanks Tony!

12-day trip with Tony Mobile Safari.
A few days ago, my wife and I returned from a 12-day trip with Tony Mobile Safari. This was our third trip to Botswana and, undoubtedly, the best. We saw several times more and better than our previous trips. And all thanks to the excellent guide and driver Tony. His excellent knowledge of the landscape, the habits of animals and birds helped at the right time in the right place, to find and watch animals from the best position. Tony, being and a wonderful photographer constantly cared about it. Together with his assistant, Eddie , they also provided good conditions and excellent food in the campsites. A trip with Tony is a 100% safari from the very beginning to the end of our tour. During our trips from the park to the park, Tony told us that the cameras were ready - the safari did not stop. If we go back to Botswana, then certainly turn to Tony Mobile Safari - the best company, from those with whom we traveled to Botswana ! Thank you so much , Tony and Eddy !
