Wonderful Mobile Safari perfectly organised
9 days Mobile Safari in Botswana. Excellent guide Pilot and great service from his Staff. Determined to find the most elusive animals which he did!! Most helpful assistance from Martin at Kingfisher Safaris who even booked a flight for us at short notice when ours was cancelled! Great experience, excellent value and wonderful service from booking to returning home. We will definitely travel with Kingfisher again!

Martin Smith is knowledgeable, responsive, & takes a personal interest in each tour he plans.
This was a first time, bucket list safari for me. I fortunately received a recommendation for Mr. Martin Smith from a co-worker. He immediately responded to my initial email. He asked what my goals/desires were in terms of the trip. He continued to respond -almost immediately- to each question I had.
The Safari exceeded my expectations. I traveled to Botswana at his recommendation. I could not have been more pleased!!
I started with two nights at Victoria Falls and stayed in the Victoria Falls Hotel. Truly, I unexpectedly felt like royalty, with a private check in and fabulous room with a great view.
My first Safari camp, Linyanti Concessions, provided herds of wild animals to see and enjoy in their natural surroundings. Next was Khwai Lediba and last was Vumbura Plains. Each provided a unique experience and each increased in luxury. Keep in mind that I’m not a “luxury “ person, but it was a very nice surprise!!
EVERY transfer, every detail was flawless and seamless!!! I never had to think or worry about anything!!!
I overwhelmingly recommend Kingfisher Safaris and Mr. Martin Smith!!!!!

Attention to detail ,flexible, customer service.
10 day mobile camping safari in Botswana’s delta. The tour provided a unique personal experience tailored to the customer . From pickup at the airport to returning at the end of the safari attention to the needs of quest remained the focus of the camp crews. Two game drives per day provided ample opportunity to view the wild life of the delta with a focus on what was important to the quests wether it be an emphasis on the big five or simply to experience both the flora and fauna. Mobile camps were surprisingly comfortable providing a unique experience. Well worth the costs.

Simply outststanding! Highly recommend.
Outstanding service and what an amazing "once in a lifetime" experience.
I cannot thank Martin and his team enough. Despite having a very narrow time window and a restricted budget, Martin managed to find a way to deliver the fantastic canoe safari experience I hoped for. I also needed to make significant last minute timing changes and Martin deftly managed to rearrange all arrangements accordingly.
The canoe safari was terrific. The itinerary, guides, food and equipment was exactly as communicated. Canoeing on the Zambezi is an amazing experience. The scenery was straight out of National Geographic and we got to see loads of animals and birds. It was such a privilege to be immersed in nature taking it all in. Simply amazing.
Martin was very helpful in planning the trip. I had lots and lots of questions and Martin was always open, courteous and quick to respond. The information he provided was spot on and made the trip for me.
The experience was great value for money.
Highly recommend.
