Great experience!
We traveled four weeks through Namibia and Botswana. Our trip was organized by Kalahari Breeze Safaris and we were very satisfied. We stayed overnight in lodges and camping sites - it was a very good mix between lodge and camping sites. The car with roof tent was perfectly equipped, everything you need is there. In case of problems, Kalahari Breeze Safaris always helps. We can recommend Kalahari Breeze Safaris and would book again with them.

Kalahari Breeze Safaris has organised such a wonderful trip for us in Botswana
We had a trip in Botswana from Maun to Victoria falls in July. We spent about two weeks all through the Okavango delta, Moremi, Savuti and Chobe in a camping safari. We would like to thank Maria and Chris for having so well organised our tour. All the staff were wonderful in assisting us throughout from the beginning to the end of the trip. We had such an unforgettable experience in the bush, seeing so many wild animals and astonishing landscapes. We highly recommend this company and we hope to come back soon.

A perfect trip
It has been a spectacular trip. It has surpassed the expectations that we had in all the senses: the guides, the people, the service, the country ... Thanks to Kalahari we have spent some of our best vacations. I am sure that we will repeat with them the next time we travel in the area.
Thanks for everything Maria, Chris and George. I hope to see you soon again because all of you have made our fifteen days in Botswana great and unforgettable.

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)

This just further demonstrated your genuine full commitment to bringing out and preserving the best of this richly Blessed lands for the people and environment, credentials showcased by your company engaging with local guides, camps and business and knowing AND SHARING their STORY pulling them up with you as you grow !

Excellent tour operator/organizer!
Attentive to our wishes, easy communication by both email and phone with rapid responsetimes.
Fantastic experience for the two us travelling; 3+3 days in Botswana incl local flights between camps
(as recommended by Kalahari Breeze), and then as great topping also our travel from Chobe to Vic Falls
and the activities we opted for in Vic Falls.
Not cheap, but GOOD VALUE when compared to what the competitors offered!
Will no doubt book with Kalahari next time as well, no need to change a winning team.

Fantastic Company, Beautiful people, Amazing experience - 10 out of 10
The most difficult decision was which Company to choose for our safari as there are so many Companies out there it is quite a minefield. Our decision was based on the Company being based in Botswana for local knowledge, registered with the Botswana Tourism Authority, their ability to fit in with our time frames, adaptability, reviews and speed of response.
We chose Kalahari Breeze and couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Kalahari Breeze is also not only locally owned and operated but also the money goes back to the communities to help sustain the local people and economy which was another plus for us
Maria, my contact answered every question I had with almost immediate response and was happy to accommodate any changes to their suggested itineraries to suit our own. Chris who is one of the owners and operators met us in Maun to make sure everything was going to plan and that we had had no problems or issues. This was a lovely personal touch which showed how much he cared about and valued his clients.
He is in constant contact with his staff to ensure everything goes smoothly and according to plan and to deal with any issues that may arise. The only small issue we experience was dealt with swiftly and smoothly by Chris and in no way deterred from our experience.
We were given a comprehensive itinerary prior to our arrival with detailed information of our trip including the accommodations, safaris etc. We had no issues at all with being met at the places specified at the times stated from pick-up at Victoria Falls airport to drop-off in Maun 11 days later.
Everything was well managed and we have absolutely no complaints at all. Everyone we dealt with were very helpful and such lovely people. Where we stayed, where we went and what we saw was amazing. Our expectations were exceeded
Our itinerary followed Vic falls, Chobe, Savuti, Moremi, and the Okavango.
Our guide Kaiser was fantastic with so much knowledge and experience. He was so diligent in his task as guide and driver and never gave up until he had found the animals we wanted to see. As well as a impala, water buffalo, giraffe, elephants and zebra we saw Hippos, wild dogs, hyena as well as 3 prides of lions and a leopard due to Kaiser’s tireless search!
We had the most amazing time especially on the 4 night mobile safari. Camping out in the wild was one of the most exhilarating experiences I have had and we felt extremely safe in the capable hands of Kaiser and George although there were Elephants, hyena and wild dogs wandering through the camp as well as the lions on the doorstep!!
We had also organised a self-drive safari through Namibia and had thought of doing the same through Botswana but so glad we didn’t. The roads are deep with few sign posts and many different dirt roads to follow (whereas in places like Etosha there are set routes and off-road is not allowed) therefore the likelihood of not only getting lost but driving around all day and not seeing anything is HUGE. Therefore we would certainly advise a guided safari in Botswana to get the most out of this amazing country and without a doubt recommend Kalahari Breeze to do this for you!!
Kalahari Breeze also organise self-drive Safaris in Namibia which we didn’t realise at the time but next time would definitely look at them to help us with this too.
Can’t recommend these Guys highly enough!
