Wild nature, smells and sounds of animals is to remember for life.
We (my wife and me) have spent 9 night/10 days in Botswana safari, organized by Shipungo. The safari took place in Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve and Khwai Concession in July and August.
It was a very interesting experience for us, we were delighted with the beautiful nature of Botswana. It was truly a tented safari, we slept in a tent in the middle of the bush. The entire camp was set up by the team from Shipungo. The guide and driver was Kem, who knew perfectly well the habits of animals and the terrain , telling us different stories by the evening campfire. Shine was the chef who fed us deliciously, preparing dishes over the fire (even homemade bread). Slow was the third member of the team, always smiling, helping with all the camp work. There was a well working team which was able to set up the camp very efficiently and quickly.
We had a lot of luck watching wildlife. We have seen leopards, cheetahs, lions, buffaloes (quite large herds), lots (!) of elephants, warthogs, herds of antelopes (different species), hippos in the water and grazing, crocodiles, wild dogs and many, many more animals; only the tiger was missing

Very accommodating and professional
Our plans that had been in the making for over half a year fell through and Shipungo really helped us out by being extremely accommodating at very short notice. We phoned them relatively late in the afternoon the day before we were looking to book an activity. Mark came over to our lodge to discuss our options immediately (what service!) and we promptly booked a mokoro excursion. We really enjoyed it; the guides and drivers and really everyone we dealt with were very nice and helpful. Highly recommend booking with them.

totally relaible. flexibility. custumer oriented. the whole team great. very good food. Costa the guide dedicated full time in finding game in the reserves. transportation Ok in a very good state Land Cruiser. very good mood and attitude of the whole team. except for an excess delay in pick-up after a mokora ride, the 5 days safari was excellent. I would recommend it.

IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL WITH THEM
First of all, if you are a backpacker like me who is afraid of wasting your money you have to know that Moremi is totally worthy .
Secondly, you have to know that this company is the cheapest so it is a must for you and you have to make sure put it apart from others...but more important it is that you can be certain that this company is totally reliable, I received answers very quickly about everything, they give you a detailed program, nothing is missed.
The day of the activity our guide made all efforts to our needs: ( to find lions) he made everything all the time driving, very little stops just to see some footprints....
We saw 9 lions.
What I can say it is that with this company won't fail, because you feel since first time you can rely on them, it is very clear.
You will be charged a real fair price,( the best) half or 3 times less than others and you are going to receive a great service.
So if you want to do Moremi, don't look other and just book with them, you can be totally safe, you are on the right one.

5 day epic bush camping
Shipungo were able to accomodate our last minute plan to visit Botswana and designed a 5 day camping trip to perfectly suit our interests and the locations we were interested in. The three person field team were exceptional - our guide Carlos was terrifically experienced with local knowledge of all the areas visited. Simon, the camp chef prepared a perfect pitch of food and with the field assistant provided a great camp set up every time. Thanks to all for sharing so much and making our trip so memorable.

Well organized, flexible, and amazing value for money
We booked a 5 day private safari for 2 with Mark in Maun, and we were offered a great package. We had to make some last minute changes to our itinerary and Mark was extremely flexible and attentive to our needs. We were very happy to have been able to travel through Botswana’s amazing national parks with Kem, Simon and Slow - our safari team. Our guide Kem was amazing. He was well read and knowledgeable about the locations, the birds and animals. He was also excellent at tracking the animals safely. He was a great guide for birdwatching as well, and had books on hand to teach us about the animals and birds we were interested in. He was also excellent with conversation, and we learnt a lot from him. We encountered almost every big game animal one could expect to see in Botswana, in addition to a huge number of smaller fauna and interesting birds. Chef Simon was a great cook and the food throughout the trip was amazing. But additionally was excellent at spotting game and knowledgeable about the wildlife too.
We were completely at ease throughout the trip with the team’s expertise and confidence. Great service, great flexibility, reliable and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend this experience with Shipungo Safaris.
