well organised , safe, excellent guide and cook, with endless wildlife
Su and I decided on Kalahari after a wide search of safari company's, "big is not always the best". This small operation was flexible with attention to our needs and wish list. George visited our accommodation the evening before the safari, just to let us know we would be picked up in the morning and what time we would like to leave. At the start of the journey, George and Kaiser (guide) kindly stopped off at the warehouse,so as we could pick up some beer and wine for the adventure ahead.
The itinerary was great in that we started in Victoria Falls and finished in Maun and didn't have to back track , all along the way wildlife and bird life was aplenty. The abundance of sighting was greatly attributed to Kaiser's vast experience as a local and a guide, he was tireless in his effort to find wildlife, which was always rewarded with amazing close up viewings of animals ,such as wild dogs and all the "cats"
The camping was great and George always supplied plenty of wholesome food and camp was always set up in great locations , sure you could spend a lot more money and have more up market "glamping" but we often had more sightings than some of the "high end" safari tours.
At the end of the safari, Christopher (co owner) dropped into visit us on the night before we left Botswana just to see if everything was ok, get some feedback and if we needed any assistance.
Being a local company this on the ground personal service is a nice touch but importantly if something unforeseen happens, staff and owner are not far away.
I wish Kalahari all the best in the future (importantly all staff employed are locals)

Wonderful trip to the Okavango Delta and on to Victoria Falls
We did a private safari for 4 people through Botswana and to Victoria Falls with Kalahari Breeze Safaris. Had such a wonderful time!! The Kalahari Breeze team was very communicative and helpful in booking the trip. I had so many questions and ideas of what we might want to do, and they were so patient and knowledgeable in answering all of the questions! We ended up with such a unique experience of camping in the Okavango Delta, flights over the Delta and on to Kasane, and transport to Victoria Falls. We felt very well taken care of during the whole trip, and our guides and places where we stayed were always eager to help. Would happily book with them again!

Brilliant Tour Operator
I have just completed a twelve day safari holiday in Botswana and Zimbabwe with the highlight being a mobile safari in the Okavanga Delta, Moremi and Savuti regions with the trip being organised by Kalahari Breeze.
The campsites were delightful, the tents very comfortable and the food delicious and this is before the expert walks and game drives that ensured that we saw more animals than we could have believed possible. The guides were very experienced in the terrain and animals and made us feel very safe.
All our dealings with Kalahari Breeze were first rate with them going out of their way to ensure that any question was answered and that we were always happy. Kalahari Breeze was able to advise on a range of safaris and build the itinerary around what we wanted to see and do.
I can recommend them unreservedly

My safari Glamping = Glamor + Camping
My mobile safari was very comfortable, inside my tent, I had a camp cot and a mattress, with all the bedding, during the nights it was a little cold but the boys gave me a hot water bottle. Everything clean, my bathroom was attached to my tent and came with shampoo and towels. The food is rich and the menu is international. The guides know a lot about the local fauna! I have seen 4 of the 5 Big Five. And I have seen around 100 species of birds. To be an Economic Safari, I must say that I exceed my expectations. Because the boys take care of everything! Arm and disarm the camp. I just went to enjoy.

Magical trip on africian safari in Botswana
I think very highly of Kalahari Breeze Safaris. We booked them in October 2018 for our June 2019 safari. Everything happened as they explained. Maria was patient and kind with all of my questions. We saw amazing wildlife and had a superior and outstanding guide - can't say enough good things about him. The camping safari was an adventure I'll never forget. I felt safe and well cared for throughout the entire time.

The best introduction to the kalahari desert, with KBS,through Maria,Chris,Lizzie and staff !
We had our first experience of wild camping in Botswana with kalahari breeze safaris and came away feeling extremely satisfied with all our expectations met! It was our very first time in the wild with wild animals around us, yet,we felt safe. The staff,Salani,the guide were extremely good. The tents were comfortable and safe. The meals were gourmet in the middle of nowhere and our game drives were superlative! We experienced the best of views,photography and everything, soul satisfying! Okavango delta experience was out of the world, especially the viewing from the plane. Everything seemed so surreal. Going by the mokoro was a fabulous experience with hippos all around. Respect for wildlife was very much in place. There were no untoward problems and we returned completely satisfied. KBS arranged our transfer to Livingstone and visit to Victoria falls, which was a great experience. The icing on the cake for us was our stay at Pangolin photo safari resort, Kasane, also arranged by KBS. It was truly,truly exotic. We thank Maria, Chris and their staff for giving us our best experience in the wild.

Trip of a Lifetime - Okavango Delta - Chobe - Vic Falls Tour
Thanks to Kalahari Breeze for a phenomenal tour!
Pre-Tour: After emailing Maria of an idea of what we wanted to see and the time frame/budget, she emailed me within 24 hours with an itinerary that fit our needs. Of course there were many questions before we said "yes" and Maria answered them all promptly. Paying for the tour was easy too. She sent a detailed itinerary that had every date, time and company we should expect to see that I printed and referred to in case I had forgotten what we were doing each day.
During Tour: So amazed at how smoothly things went. From every pick up point to the activities that were included (game drives, walking safaris, two boat rides). The camping on the delta was better than expected. The food was great considering there was no stove, oven, fridge, etc. I mean, we had baked lasagna and fresh baked bread!! And, the people were so friendly and just wanted to make sure you were comfortable. Of course the wildlife was fantastic and Victoria Falls was something that was on my bucket list. Definitely better than Niagara Falls (IMHO).
Someday I want to visit the Kalahari Desert and I will use Kalahari Breeze as my tour operator when I do.

great experience in the national parks of Botswana doing wild camping
we had booked a safari with Kalahari Breeze in the northern parks of Botswana (Delta, Savute, Chobe). We did wild camping for 7 days in the middle of the parks far away from any civilization. It was such a great experience and Kalahari Breeze made the trip as comfortable as possible. The freshly made food was wonderful and we had an excellent guide. Because of him we have seen all the different animals also the ones, which are shy and hard to find. We got great pictures of leopards and lions with their babies. All in all I can recommend to experience the adventure with Kalahari Breeze as they take good care of you and attend to your wishes as much as they can.

A great experience
It was so much fun going into the bushes on game drives. And it was amazing how well we could live in our camps in the bush. We truly enjoyed our time with Kalahari Breeze and give them our best recommendation.
