Reviews
3 days in Okavango Delta very well organized with no time lost and lot of animals seen !
Communications was really good and smooth. We spent 3 days in Okavango Delta with my daughters and my wife. It was our 1st experience in the amazing region. We choose: 1/ 1 day game drive at Moremi Game park, very long day with lot of animals, 2/ 1 day Mokoro experience, very local experience, be careful with the sun, 3/ 1 day Motor boat full day in Delta, few animals but very beautiful scenary with a very impressive driver in the Delta "water" roads!!.
If we would have to do it again, we will spend one more day at Moremi Game Park: this park is really big and you can not see most of it in only day.

Excellent
Without doubt it was the best tour I did in Botswana. The guide is great, they are super punctual, the tour was great, pleasant, all very well organized. Without a doubt, would do it again with this agency and recommend it to everyone. Whenever I am in Maun this will be the travel agency of my choice. Recommended A ++++++
Great Days at Moremi
We booked a 3 days (2 nights) camping safari with Shipoungo Safaris into Moremi GR. Cedric our guide was excellent and we had a great time on safari. Our camp was set at Xakanaxa camp site. The catering was also very good. We were quite impressed with the "bushfix" of the camping trailer which broke down on our way to camp. These people know what they are doing!

Fantastic Game drive in Moremi
For a safari through the Moremi Game Reserve we can highly recommend Shipungo Safari & Tours with its guide and driver Thata. It was wonderful and nature sensitive, we learned a lot about the local animals and plants. We had a very nice experience and saw a lot without disturbing the wild animals too much. We can only recommend this company.

Excellent Customer Service
The coordinator of the tour company came to see us and made sure of our location before the tours began. The tour guides were excellent and pick up and drop off times were respected. An overall wholesome experience is obtained. i would strongly recommend them.

great tour with a experienced und motivated guide
We booked the safari tour at short notice and did not regret it. The communication worked fine, they informed us well about the tour. The guide responded well to our requests. That's why we saw many animals and varied landscape. He had a great knowledge about the animals and explained and showed us a lot. You could tell that he liked the tour himself. The food was varied and adequate. We can recommend the tour in any case.

Great operator, but much of the experience hinges on local guides, not the tour company.
Very responsive operator...we texted and figured out details over the weekend just before the safari. The pickup service was prompt and friendly, and the vehicle was comfortable. Meals were as expected for the price—basic but tasty. The tent was also as expected.
One thing to be aware of is that the “polers” and guide are part of the village community and they are assigned from a rotating list. Thus, as I understood, the boat operators and tour guides (who also help with camp requirements) can be hit-or-miss. Ours were very friendly and knew what they were doing (good empirical / local knowledge) but not stellar on technical knowledge and customer experience. The Shipungo staff was great, though. Overall it was an amazing experience.

Shipungo Safari & Tours game drive experience was of a good standard, all services were top notch
Communication was the best from booking date till the tour day and they really lived up to their word of providing best services as they ensured i got satisfied through the game view and the tour guide explained and answered all questions in detail through the game drive

Very informative and caring. We had a wonderful day trip :)
Mark is super helpful. We arranged with him a last minute day trip to the Okavango delta. He was available even in late evening and made it happen. The trip itself was great, we took a ride with the makoro boat and did a walking safari, both of them accompanied with detailed explanations. His driver even took us in the end of the day to the bus station and when we found out the bus we had planned to take isn't actually coming he help us to find alternative transportation.
Also he helped us plan other activities in and outside of Maun.
Bottom line: contact Mark and Shipungo if you are in Maun.
