BEST TRIP EVER! Highly recommend this tour
My husband and I did a 6 day 5 night tour with Shipungo from Maun > Moremi Game Reserve > Khwai Consession > Savuti > Chobe > Boat trip at Kasane
We made our plan very last minute and they were super accommodative and responsive that they customised our whole trip based on our needs and what’s best for us as someone who have never done Safari. The whole booking and planning process was seamless!
Voice was the most amazing tour guide ever! He has extensive knowledge about wild animals and safari routes. He truly
is passionate about the nature. We managed to capture 20 lions, 4 leopards, the Big Four and many other precious animals and scenery so easily, thanks to his incredible expertise knowledge on how and where to identify the animal tracks and habits. It was unbelievable. He was also very thoughtful the whole journey that he drove very safely, even though the game drive and road trips between campsites could be long and bumpy. We have learnt so much about the wildlife from him.
The camping crew Left and John were wonderful companions that they were very efficient with setting up our camps, cooking us the most delicious meals every day and providing us very comfortable campsite environments. The bonfire and dinners are the part that we really looked forward to every evening after the game drives. They would even make our beds in the tent and sweep the tent ground every day. They would take night shift to make sure we were safe from the wildlife at night. They were also very humorous and sociable that made our trip very enjoyable!
We had the best (honeymoon) trip ever! Highly recommend and will definitely travel with them again!

Fantastic experience
Spent 3 & 1/2 days wild camping in Moremi with Voice as our guide, very well assisted by Jonah, Left and KG in camp. It was cold at times so dress warm in the winter months. We all really enjoyed our time and felt very safe and well looked after. The food back in camp was very good too. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something a little different to the usual lodge experience. It was full on and tiring, so feel free to request a siesta more often if required.
Exellent experience!
We had 2-days Safari in Mokotów. we are very satisfied! The entire team did a great job, they were helpful and caring and ensured safety. The guide Shadrach worked perfectly, he had a lot of knowledge about animals, he was able to spot them, I recomend Shadrach as a guide! And all staff was amazing! we will gladly recommend Shipungo!

Amazing staff who clearly love animals and their jobs and giving the client a fabuolous experience
From first communications with Mark we knew we were going to have a fantastic time. His willingness to adapt the Safari to start at Victoria falls and end in Maun made it so much easier for us. We cannot thank Kem, Shy, KG and Left enough. Kem's knowledge of the animals and the committment to ensure we saw and understood as much as possible was outstanding. We saw a different lion pride every day ( 42 in total), 5 leopards including two in the campsite which the guides made sure we were safe, a cheetah, hundreds of elephants, too many giraffes to count and hippos galore. We also saw hyena's and their puppies and wild dogs and their pups. Kem always seemed to have us in the right spot at the right time and knew when to stay for a bit extra to see some extraordinary sights. Shy's cooking was delicious. The camp setup was so much better than expected with proper beds and great bathrooms. Highly recommend this company for anyone wanting a mobile camping safari.

Fantastic safari operator in Maun
We’ve lived and worked on and off in Africa for the last 20 years, now back in the US, former Botswana residents and familiar with safari offerings. In short, Shipungo is outstanding. Two adults and three kids, we had a couple days free in Maun and went back to back days with Shipungo on day safaris to Moremi NP and mokoro ride / hike in the Okavango Delta. The trips were wonderful. Our guide from Shipungo was extremely knowledgeable about Moremi and the sightings were outstanding. He went the extra mile, all day, to make it a great experience. The mokoro trip in the Okavango is probably the best one day trip my family has ever experienced, and we’re in Africa frequently. Again knowledgeable and friendly guides, and fabulous lunches, even took care of a gluten free issue for one of us, perfectly. Easy to deal with, great service. We’ll be back with Shipungo next time we’re in Botswana.

The crew of Shipungo Safari & Tours was exceptional, accommodating and knowledgeable.
Being from South Africa originally, our bar is set high because we have been on so many safaris before. Kem, our guide for our journey was exceptional. Kem made sure to get us to a sighting that was shared over the radio communication system so we had sightings, such as Wild dogs, that we have never had before. He was also very knowledgeable. We have learned so much from him. Back at camp, Shine and Ody, took care of everything, from setting up our campsite to providing us with delicious meals. They were all very courteous and our camp accommodation was also very comfortable. We had a safari of a lifetime!
