Excellent guides; a small local company
Re: Safari to Savuti and Chobe (6 days - mostly camping) with Tony Mobile Safari. We were booked with them through another tour operator but I now wish we had found them and booked directly ourselves. It is good to support a smaller, local company and I believe we had a better experience than if we had been booked with a larger, more commercial one. Our guide was Vincent and we also met the owner, Tony, as he was guiding others who camped with us. Vincent was very knowledgeable about the animals and the environment. Vincent and Tony both obviously have a genuine passion for Wildlife conservation. They were very skilled at spotting animals as well. Finally, they both had a unique sense of humour! The staff Jackie, Eddie and Ben were all great, too. The food was very good and the chef even accommodated a request for vegan food! The tents and bedding were warmer and more comfortable than I expected, too. The sleeping pads and bags were actually more comfortable than the beds at the lodges! Everyone was very friendly and the camp felt totally safe, knowing that we had very knowledgeable guides nearby. If your priority is to have as much time seeing the wildlife as possible and you'd like an authentic experience, you should consider camping with Tony Mobile Safari as opposed to booking a more luxurious option.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
Our group of four adults spend five days and four nights with Tony and his team, exploring Chobe and Suvuti. Tony arranged for our pick up in Victoria Falls and transfer to Kasane, where he met us and gave us more details about the next five days. We spent two nights camping in Chobe and two nights camping in Suvuti. The drive to Suvuti was long, but absolutely worth it. One reason I choose Tony was his willingness to customize the itinerary and take us to Suvuti, when others weren't willing to do so in such a short period of time. We had the time of our lives. We saw the most incredible, intimate experiences in the wild. At one point Tony followed leopard tracks in the sand and eventually lead us to a leopard in a tree eating it's morning kill! From there, we saw five baby cub lions nursing and playing with their mom and dad. It was so surreal! Definitely recommend Tony and his team.

excellent and the most thrilling experience
It was the best safari trip we enjoyed in our life. Hats off to Tony and his crew for the spectacular experience that they offered to us. Very friendly, highly informative and very safe. Offered us the best wild life sights though it was scary to see the lions very close, i even felt its breath. Really wish to have more trips with this crew.

It delivers safari excitement and tourists' expectations.
Tony's knowledge of Savuti environment - be they plants or animals or birds or weather or campsite officials - is vast and deep. He delivered answers to our ever-curious minds and we were about 20 in our group. In fact in my count I have included Tony and his fellow driver subconsciously! If safari is invariably a good experience, safari with Tony Mobile Safari is in deed a rare and sometimes a life-changing experience. Tony touched our hearts, I should say.

WOW - UNFORGETTABLE "wild" EXPERIENCE.
An unforgettable experience with Tony & team. We were 20 of us who decided to spend the Easter Holidays in Savuti and we booked in time with Tony Mobile Safaris. We started our trip in two vehicles of Tony from Kasane, a town in Chobe district. After about 4 hours drive through the forest we reached Savuti. Enroute we sighted lot of animals the cherry being the 3 male lions and a lioness about 500 metres from the place where were to camp. Our camps were efficiently set up by Tony's crew. They are compact with comfortable bedding. The basic rules of the camp were explained and the ablution block was located about 100 metres from the camp. The ablution was decent. The next day morning we departed 6 a.m. We went looking for the lions. While the sun was rising on the eastern sky we sighted a male & female 'in season' and 3 other male lions within 50 metres lying lazily on the grasses. We spent about 45 minutes out of which few minutes were heart stopping as the male lion [golden sun adding to the appearance] majestically walked near our vehicle. We took loads of pictures & videos. We then took a drive around and sighted a lone leopard on a tree and and tracked it for a little distance. We also sighted giraffe, zebras, varieties of deer [boks], wildebeest, hippos, plenty of bird life. We had another drive in the afternoon and the following day 6 a.m. we departed to Kasane. We had a fantastic trip. Our comfort were taken care of by Tony, Vincent, and his other crew. It was heartening to see Tony, a Motswana [citizen of Botswana] owning and operating a safari company with so much knowledge and so humble and friendly to each one of us. All of us in our group felt this experience was unique and unforgettable. We as a team were thankful to our team leader Partha who facilitated the whole journey.

Unforgettable Safari!
No word are sufficient to describe just how awesome safari-ing/camping with Tony and his crew was! If you can, include Savuti in your itinerary...so beautiful, so peaceful. Without a doubt, I will be booking a repeat adventure with this company. Thank you Tony, Eddie, and Ben for a truly unforgettable experience.

Great camping safari
I did a 5 day camping safari and had an amazing trip! We spent our time split between Savuti and Chobe. Both places were amazing, but Savuti was the best for seeing lions. The other animals were also more densely populated in Savuti.
I had Vincent as my guide and Eddy as the cook. Both were very friendly and knowledgeable. Vincent knew both areas extremely well and was good at identifying all the animals. He was also good about communicating with other safari drivers to find out where the animals were.
The tents were roomy and the bedrolls very comfy. The food wasn't fancy, but very tasty with sufficient amounts. I'd go again with these guys in a heartbeat, and have already recommended them to friends. Tony is a guy you can trust. Whatever he said I would get on the trip, was provided.

Incredible Safari!
Tony is truly a fabulous guide and creates an amazing safari experience. We got to see a wide range of animals and Tony is fabulous at reading tracks and spotting rare animals. Tony goes above and beyond to ensure your safari is a safe, comfortable, and exciting experience. I would highly recommend booking a trip with Tony and his staff!
