Excellent and comfortable mobile camping safari
We just returned from a mobile camping safari in Chobe National Park and the Khwai Concession which borders Moremi Game Reserve and the Okavango Delta. Being one of the SafariBookings team members I have been privileged to go on quite a few safaris already but this trip was one of my best bush experiences so far. It was the beginning of the wet season but we hardly had any rain. Afternoon temperatures were quite high during the first couple of days, but we were either in the open vehicle while driving and cooled by the wind or in the camp, where we could relax and enjoy cold drinks in a glass with ice. The heat turned out to be quite doable and the nice thing about this time of year was that temperatures during the morning and evening/night time were lovely (unlike in July/August when it gets really cold at night and during the morning).
The scenery was beautiful and green and we saw so much wildlife. An abundance of antelope species, big herds of elephant and buffalo, giraffe, hippo, lion multiple times, two leopards and even four painted dogs on the last day, which was a real treat as encountering those magnificent creatures is quite rare. In addition it was the season where the migratory birds were there and the birding was spectacular. We kept track of the bird species and ended up ticking more than 110 bird species, including beautiful birds of prey and impressive looking storks and egrets. It truly felt like paradise.
Our guide, Ranger, was very knowledgeable about both the animals, birds and trees. He really made our trip. The mobile camping was a lot more comfortable than we expected. Tents were large Meru style tents in which you could comfortably stand and move around. They felt like small hotel rooms in the middle of the wilderness. What a great experience and we felt much closer to the bush when compared to staying in a lodge or a larger tented camp. The mess/lounge tent was also great and the food they served was delicious. The camp staff were great people and took care of all the camp chores, including moving the entire camp to the next location. Quite impressive.
It was a great experience which I am going to remember for a long time.

very good
I took 3 day tours which was the best way to see so much in such limited time, bothe the okavango delta and Mokoro safaries were brilliant, however the early morning drive to morembi NP was not anything I would want or advise anyone else to endure, winter time on the back of an open truck was so cold it caused painful
That apart Xaa safaris were excellent friendly and hekpfull in booking and its guides were both knowledgeable , friendly and made the trips a wonderful experience

Very welcoming and perfectly organised!
We had a great time in the Okavango Delta with help of Xaa Safaris and the local community. All was very well arranged and it was indeed the great 'bush/water experience' we were hoping for. Definitely could recommend Xaa. Great communications and value for money!

Fun, informative, relaxing and adventurous
This was a really easy trip to set up, all of my emails were answered right away. They were flexible and worked around my flight times. The guides were all amazing and very informative. There was a nice mixture of long walks, rides on the water and relaxing in the tents. The food was amazing and the facilities were as comfortable as camping can ever be. I loved my time, and Xaa Safaris made everything easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Beautiful camping and hiking trip with affordable pricing
Xaa Safaris Mokoro trip was very well organized, even I made my bookings in very last minute. Xaa Safari personel considered very well my wishes. They helped me to organize everything and feel welcomed in Maun even beyound the main camping trip. My camping and walking safari trip was truly beautiful experience.

Fantastic Trip
We booked from the UK and chose Xaa as it was flexible, friendly and good value for money.
From the minute we were picked up in Maun we had an amazing time, a great team of people who were a combination of guides, trainees and local community villagers accompanied us into the delta. Great knowledge and fun company. All our camping equipment was brand new and extremely smart, we were treated like royalty! Well fed and watered too! The group even did an impromptu entertainment show of traditional singing which was fab! It was so nice to spend time with local people in the beautiful delta, surrounded by elephant, hippo, and wildebeest! Would certainly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Friendly client orientated bush experience
Xaa went out of their way to accommodate us without compromising the experience of their other guests.
It was the most amazing sunset cruise from Maun on the Thamalakane river passing some local fishing Mokoros, African Fish eagles and stopping to observe a crocodile and being fed a ton of information from the guide.
We shall use them next time for a 3 day customised excursion into the Delta with all camp sites and accommodation arranged by Xaa.
Thank you Xaa for an unforgetable experience.
