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.

A unique and absolutely amazing experience
We spent 3 days early September in one of Golden Africa Safaris’s mobile camps, in the southern part of the Moremi game reserve , and this has definitely been THE HIGHLIGHT ( yes! in capital letters!) of our stay in Botswana - which was, anyway, an amazing one overall.
We had been on safari before but this was different and very very special. Compared to lodges or other tented camps, the setting of this mobile camp is much simpler yet , a luxury in itself . Being „in the middle of nowhere“ and „having nature to yourself“ is such an indescribable privilege!! And of course, the whole, in the company of such an experienced, passionate and respectful for nature guide such as Moa, and the amazing team behind running such a camp - what magic they cook and organize with so simple means !
We had amazing sightings including seeing a cheetah catch an impala, but best was to not be on any schedule, take the time to immerse ourselves in nature and just follow the natural rhythm of the savanna. And the sunsets and skies at night !
I cant finish this review without wholeheartedly thanking the team for everything and especially, for having organized a surprise lunch in the middle of the most beautiful scenery on the day of our anniversary, I have no words to describe how happy they made us all - my husband and I, our children and their partners- feel. Thank you and, who knows, we are already day dreaming about coming back and safari with you again !

Best Safari operation imaginable
My family had a most extraordinarily positive experience with Golden Africa Safaris on our safari to Botswana. Our group consisted of Grandparents, Adult children and Grandchildren ages 7 through 16. Every aspect of the safari was planned and executed to perfection by the management and staff of Golden Africa Safaris. The pre-safari communications were all excellent and prompt and helped us plan such things as the itinerary, desires for viewing on game drives, dietary issues all the way down to what things we should bring for clothes for the safari. We had chosen a tented safari rather than game lodges or hotels in our desire to be closer to the game as well as experience Botswana in such a setting. This proved to be an excellent choice for us. The game drives were exceptional. Moa and Option, our guides, were so educational and enjoyable that all ages remained excited and engaged throughout the game drives. They were extremely respectful of and knowledgeable about the wildlife. The safari vehicles were extremely comfortable, and the vehicles had refreshments and an abundance of charging ports for the electronics we brought for photography. The animal activity in the vicinity of the tents at night was wonderful. The staff did such a wonderful job of taking care of us and giving us a once in a lifetime experience, at extremely high quality, and all from a mobile kitchen and support trucks. Time spent with the staff and getting to know them was a true highlight. During the planning of the safari my wife and I had decided to renew our vows on the occasion of our 50th wedding anniversary. The owners Charlotte and Rob and guide Moa did all of the planning. They scouted out a wonderful site at a hippo pool for a traditional type of Botswana wedding ceremony which was spectacular. Charlotte, Rob and the entire staff made this happen in a most memorable way.
This wonderful safari with Golden Africa Safaris far exceeded our expectations from the first day of planning through our final day with them. This was a tremendously professional company who took great pride in having anticipated all of our wants and needs to have a perfect safari. Our whole family is extremely thankful for all of their expertise and planning that made this a perfect and memorable safari. We are planning a new safari and will most definitely go with Golden Africa Safaris again.

Outstanding and exhilarating safari, tremendous fun too.
All worked brilliantly and was done with great expertise and at just the right level. We had some exceptional sightings which were made possible and were greatly enhanced, by our superb guide, Rob Barber. I would unreservedly recommend him and his company, Golden Africa for a truly memorable safari.

A thoroughly outstanding, experienced and friendly guide Company
We have just returned from a memorable and special time in Botswana where our stay with Golden Africa has been a stand out experience. Starting with the fine tuned logistics of our pick up, no small details had been missed.
The truly memorable drives with our experienced guides, Rob and Moa made it feel like not just a holiday but a true learning experience. Their own passion for the wildlife and their respect for their surroundings was evident and made the whole experience more valued and special.
The camp team were a true credit to the team ethos of the whole stay, they were so welcoming, friendly and supportive of us as guests by contributing so positively and happily to our stay. We truly were spoilt with their attentiveness to detail, from picnics, through to an end of day welcome home and providing an excellent end of day dining experience, with sublime food and excellent wine choices. A truly professional and happy team camp, and it showed through their wish for their guests to quite simply have a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable stay.
The most wonderful memories from dawn to dusk were made possible by people who are both passionate, and more importantly care for the wildlife, their environs and their guests, who pass through and pause but for a moment in time, to delight in the natural wonders, which were truly brought to life by the experience we had the absolute delight in sharing with Rob, Moa and the camp team at Golden Africa.
