We had an amazing time, I would not call it a holiday more an amazing adventure.
Rob is one of the most incredible guys ever, he is a walking encyclopaedia on every animal bird tree or plant in Botswana . His team of staff are amazing there food and hospitality were the best .
The wild life we saw and we have been quite a few times on different safaris surpassed all our expectations, cannot recommend Rob and his team enough.

Best trip ever
I went on safari with Rob as my guide in Khwai last year in a mobile camp. I have done a number of Safaris in various countries in Africa and this was just the best. The staff in the camp looked after us really well and there was always plenty of food and drink available. Rob's truck was great with plugs to charge our camera batteries and a fridge which was constantly stocked with soft drinks for us. Rob was very informative as a guide and knew the area well enough to read the wildlife signs and find the wildlife that I wanted to see. He listened to what I wanted to get from the trip and was able to point out birds and reptiles as well as mammals. Before booking the holiday Rob had advised me on the area to visit so that I would have a chance of seeing the animals that I wanted to see. As soon as I got home I started to work out how I could afford to go with him again.

Extremely professional, hard working, considerate, and experienced. We loved the camping in the wild
We loved the carefully planned route tracks and huge effort for us to experience the animals and birds. Understood our needs. Loved it.

Super wildlife , beautiful area, great guide
Our safari in Botswana was organised by Rob Barber at Golden Africa. Some of it I the Khwai area in a tented camp, and some of it at the Tubu tree camp. Tubu tree is a luxury lodge with high-quality accommodation, good food and good guides. The highlight of the safari for us, however, was the time that we spent in Khwai being guided by Rob. The accommodation was much less luxurious, but the overall experience was fantastic. Not only is Rob an excellent guide and very skilled at finding the wildlife, he is also an excellent communicator. We not only saw wildlife, we also learned about the different alarm calls, and to look for tracks and signs of the animals. We have been on a number of safaris in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Namibia, but the days with Rob in Botswana were the best, and we are looking forward to our next safari with Golden Africa.

Perfection. Magical and Wonderful Wildlife. Rob was a perfect guide explaining everything.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience travelling and learning about the Okavango Delta than with Golden Africa. Rob our guide had an in depth knowledge of all the wildlife & was able to teach us so much about the Country, Animals and nature around us.
The organisation of the trip was perfect, everything was tailored to what we wanted and was done in a relaxed and professional way. We would recommend a Golden Africa trip to everyone & will be booked another trip in the future.
